    GITM #78 The Haunted Forestry Camp

    In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore one of Asheville NC's lesser-known legends as we investigate the alleged haunted Forestry Camp. Hidden among the trees, the abandoned ruins have long been the subject of local stories involving strange noises, unexplained shadows, and eerie encounters. We examine the history of the site and the legends that have helped turn these forgotten ruins into one of Asheville's enduring paranormal mysteries. From the camp's origins to the ghost stories that continue to circulate today, we separate documented history from local folklore while exploring what visitors and residents have claimed to experience over the years. Is the abandoned Forestry Camp simply another decaying piece of Asheville's past, or is there something about these silent ruins that continues to draw curious investigators after dark?

    Deep beneath the dark waters of the Cape Fear River and the coast near Wilmington, North Carolina, stories have circulated for generations about a massive serpent known simply as Willie. Eyewitnesses have described enormous humps gliding across the water, strange wakes with no visible source, and a creature that seems to vanish as quickly as it appears. Is Willie just another case of mistaken identity, or could something unknown still be lurking beneath the surface? In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore the history of Wilmington's legendary sea serpent, examine some of the most compelling sightings, and consider the natural and supernatural theories surrounding one of North Carolina's most enduring cryptid mysteries. Join us as we dive into the legends, folklore, and unanswered questions hiding beneath the tide.

    GITM #72 Origin of The Hodag

    In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we venture into the dark forests and folklore of the American Northwoods to uncover the origins of one of the strangest creatures ever reported: the Hodag. First emerging from lumber camp legends in the late 1800s, this fearsome beast was said to stalk the wilderness with glowing eyes, massive horns, and a temperament as wild as the untamed frontier itself. We explore how the legend began, the colorful characters responsible for bringing the creature to public attention, and how a local tale evolved into one of America's most enduring cryptid stories. From folklore and hoaxes to modern sightings and cultural fascination, the Hodag remains a perfect example of how legends can take on a life of their own.
