Spooky Appalachia is a group of passionate storytellers dedicated to uncovering, preserving, and sharing the paranormal stories and folklore of the Appalachian region. From haunted hollers and ghostly legends to cryptid sightings and unexplained events, our goal is to document the chilling tales that make the mountains of Appalachia so mysterious and unique.
Many of our stories come from firsthand witnesses or are passed down through generations of local families. Or even some REALLY interesting recent accounts! Every account is either researched and written by our team or submitted by people with a personal connection to the events. Whether it’s a creature seen deep in the woods, a spirit roaming an old building, or an unsolved mystery that still haunts a small town, we’re here to tell those stories.
Spooky Appalachia started with a simple goal: to give a voice to these local legends and the people who experience them. What began as a blog has grown into a growing YouTube channel and online community of people who love paranormal tales rooted in Appalachian culture and history.
For additional Appalachian Paranormal Stories and Folklore content, be sure to check out our YouTube channel. We’ve been adding videos of paranormal related locations, reaction videos, and livestreams. We also publish the videos of us reading off each story with a short discussion on them.
