Mountain Mysteries: The Mystic Traditions of Appalachia
For years, scholars have studied the folklore of the people of Appalachia, producing stale lists of herb remedies, ghost stories, and well-known legends. Not content with such pedestrian offerings, author Larry Thacker now presents the untold and ignored stories of the paranormal in Appalachia, delving deep into the mysteries that pervade the lives of the people in the mountains. Mountain Mysteries not only explores the supernatural but seeks to dispel urban myths and the attitudes that create them. To the benefit of all, Larry Thacker has peered into dark corners and forgotten hollows to bring these mountain mysteries to light.
