  1. Bigfoot of Appalachia Part II

    Bigfoot of Appalachia Part II

    Somehow several hours of research and a decently lengthy script led to an 18 minute episode. I'm not sure how that happened unless I really talk that fast. Continuing on with last episode's Bigfoot / Sasquatch info, this episode we delve into the folkloric Bigfoot creatures that are regional-specific, as well as into theories and ideas about who Bigfoot is and where our most famous cryptid may have come from.

  2. Bigfoot of Appalachia Part I

    Bigfoot of Appalachia Part I

    TW: No triggers I can see. Bigfoot is Appalachia's most well-known cryptid. Probably the entire US, really. How have I made it this long without making an episode about the big, hairy guy himself? Part I of this two parter gives some Bigfoot basics, like a very brief overview on his appearance, his supposed communication methods, and territorial markings believed to be displayed by the Sasquatch. Then I go into a few Appalachian-based Bigfoot sightings. One of which is a full story from the witness, the others are synopses of the encounters. This is overall a research episode, not a story based one. Overall for a cryptid his lore is more cryptozoological rather than paranormal. I'm eager for next episode when we can talk about some of the absolute insanity that are the theories on his origin. Find me on social media at Obscure Appalachia.

    Listener Submissions Vol. 2

    This episode completes this round of listener submissions. Just like last time, there's a nice array of different experiences here. I tried to divide them up so each episode wouldn't be one solitary type of encounter. One of my favorite parts of doing these past two episodes has been connecting with y'all. It's so cool to not only get to hear your experiences, but to get to interact with you on a deeper level than I normally do. Unsurprisingly, you guys are really amazing people. Just like last time, this episode does have adult language. But it also has hauntings, another freaky astral projection experience, a ouija board, and strange... Shadow person... Bigfoot... Cryptids? Ghosts? I love it. TW: No real triggers here. Find me on social media at Obscure Appalachia. Feel free to submit questions for these folks and I'll forward them their way. The improved website is over at obscureappalachia.com. Leave a review there or on your podcast provider for me pretty please? It helps a lot with increasing my reach to new listeners.

    Listener Submissions Vol. 1

    Y'all really DELIVERED on telling me about your own personal, paranormal experiences. I'm so honored you trusted me to tell your stories. There's a nice mix of hauntings, unexplained creatures, and cryptids for you to enjoy. If you'd like to ask the contributors any questions, contact me with those and I'll pass them along. My apologies that there's some audio artifact in this episode that is driving me absolutely insane. Not sure what is going on with my set-up, but I'm working to fix it for next time. Look forward to volume 2 on December 12th, 2023. TW: No real triggers this episode, just two f-bombs in the final story. Find me on social media at Obscure Appalachia.

  6. Corpsewood Manor

    14/11/2023

    Corpsewood Manor

    The story of Corpsewood Manor is one of the more intriguing true crime stories, because it does have elements of the occult and the paranormal. I love when we get to do a deep dive into people who march to the beat of their own drummer. There's only so much "they lit up a room" mindset you can take before you want to know who people actually are. It's a shame Dr. Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom didn't have many more years of the life they envisioned when they came to Georgia. The US, and Appalachia, wasn't always the most welcoming of people who were so blatantly different. What do you think of the paranormal element to the story? Do you think Corpsewood is haunted, or cursed? Do the ghosts of Charles, Joseph, or the dogs still roam the homestead? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Send in those paranormal stories of your own to obscureappalachia@gmail.com for inclusion on an upcoming episode. Please include the name you'd like for me to use for you in the story. You may of course stay anonymous. Listener Note: This episode contains discussion of sexual activity that may not be appropriate with younger ones around. TW: Murder, animal murder, prejudice and homophobia, drug use, potential sexual activity with a minor. Find me on social media at Obscure Appalachia.

  8. Halloween Campfire Tale - The Bell Witch

    31/10/2023

    Halloween Campfire Tale - The Bell Witch

    A bit of a departure on format with this one, in such a fun way. This special Halloween episode was the perfect opportunity to do an episode on the Bell Witch. This haunting is infamous in Appalachia, particularly in Tennessee where the story takes place. It's fascinating to have a fairly well-documented in history paranormal story, especially one that is such an intelligent and interactive entity. There are many small variations in this story, so I went with the most commonly told and accepted versions, but there's a lot of nuance in here. Easy for that to happen when this was centuries ago. What do you think about this episode? Let me know. Y'all know I love the feedback. :) TW: Brief instance of animal cruelty, physical assault by an entity, murder...? by an entity.
