episode Phantoms & Monsters - UNEXPLAINED WEST VIRGINIA: Mothman Lore, Mountain Monster & Appalachian High Strangeness cover

Description

West Virginia has long been known as Mothman country, but the state’s unexplained history reaches far beyond Point Pleasant. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents a chilling collection of strange reports from the mountains, forests, mining communities, and backroads of West Virginia and the greater Appalachian region.   These accounts include the infamous Vegetable Man of Grant Town, a possible winged omen connected to the 1934 McDunn mine-train disaster, a tall skeletal “Stickman” seen near Harpers Ferry, a bizarre upright deer encounter, Bigfoot-like activity in the Seneca Creek and Spruce Knob backcountry, a terrifying mountain giant with glowing golden eyes, a massive wolf-like creature in the Appalachian borderland, a tiny cloaked Glimmer Man-type figure in Beaver, West Virginia, and a disturbing Black-Eyed Kids encounter in Glade Springs.   Are these reports examples of cryptid activity, interdimensional contact, ancient Appalachian folklore, spiritual warnings, or something even stranger?   Join Lon as he examines these unsettling cases and explores why West Virginia remains one of the most mysterious and high-strangeness regions in America.   Featured cases include:   • The Vegetable Man of Grant Town • The Powelton winged omen and the McDunn mine-train explosion • The Stickman near Harpers Ferry • The upright deer or “Deer God” encounter • The Seneca Creek / Spruce Knob backcountry presence • The 10-foot figure with golden eyes • The full moon howl and black wolf-like creature • The tiny, cloaked figure of Beaver, West Virginia • The Black-Eyed Kids of Glade Springs   Visit Phantoms & Monsters for more eyewitness reports, investigations, and Fortean research.   Please like, comment, subscribe, and share your own unexplained encounter.   👤 I'm Lon Strickler, creator of Phantoms & Monsters, and I’ve been a paranormal researcher and intuitive investigator for over 45 years.
