Appalachia's Most Haunted

Appalachia's Most Haunted Is that just the cold wind raising the hair on the back of your neck? Or is it a ghost? Have you heard things go bump in the night?

Seen unexplained creatures walking the woods? Given a ride to a ghostly hitchhiker? This page tells the folk tales and scary stories associated with Letcher County, Kentucky, and other parts of Appalachia. If Big Foot roams your backyard or the boogerman hides in the basement of your mamaw's house, let us know. We'd especially like to hear ghost stories from your childhood and personal experiences

. Enjoy the stories, but please, don't go out ghost hunting in the houses and buildings listed here unless you have permission. It is illegal to enter a building without permission, and it is dangerous. One of the ghosts might follow you home.

Remember, just because Halloween is almost here doesn't mean tours of the Downtown Whitesburg National Register Historic District have to stop. Tonight is the last scheduled Haunted History Tour of the season, but you can still contact us here to schedule a custom tour.

Don't forget the Haunted History Tour will begin at 6:00 p.m. and we'll take a slightly different route because of Oktoberfest.

We'll still meet at the walking bridge near the Farmer's Market.

No, really?In case you can't see it, the monument of the right sort of states the obvious.

It was early October in 1931. The leaves were just beginning to turn as Roy Campbell and Sherman Halcomb tramped up Black Mountain at the head of Lewis Creek, hunting game for the table.
What they found was entirely different.
They were traveling up the left fork of the creek when they reached a rock ledge on the right side of the branch, and there they found a small wooden box, about 2 feet long by 14 inches wide.
A treasure, perhaps! Gold hidden during the Civil War, silver from Swift's mine!
They pried the lid from the box and found neither gold nor silver. There were no jewels or precious stones.
Inside the box were the skeletal remains of a human being.
Hidden long before, the body had been dismembered and placed in the box. The flesh was gone, leaving only the dry bones.
Along with the collection of bones was a set of decaying clothes and a pair of shoes estimated as size 9.
Beyond that, history doesn't tell us what happened, but it does hold a lesson for those curious about what may be in a random box on a random mountain.
Schrodinger tells us such a box may contain a cat that is both dead and alive until the box is opened. This tale shows us a cat should be the least of our worries.
