In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains we head to the windswept shores of the Carolina coast to explore the legend of the mysterious Grey Man. For generations, residents and visitors have reported sightings of a strange spectral figure appearing along the beach before powerful storms strike the coastline. Those fortunate enough to encounter him are said to receive an eerie warning that may save their lives. We dive into the history of the legend, the earliest reported sightings, and the accounts that have helped make the Grey Man one of the most enduring ghost stories in the American South. Is he a guardian spirit watching over the coast, a lingering apparition from another era, or something even stranger lurking beneath the storm clouds?

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.

GITM #71 The Crop Circles of North Carolina

In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore the strange wave of crop circle sightings reported across North Carolina around 2005, when mysterious circular formations began appearing overnight in grassy fields and rural farmland throughout the region. Witnesses described large spiral patterns pressed into the landscape with unusual precision, sparking theories ranging from elaborate hoaxes to unexplained aerial phenomena. We dive into the eyewitness reports, the locations where the formations appeared, and the lingering mystery surrounding how these patterns were created without anyone being seen. Were the circles the work of pranksters moving through the fields under cover of darkness, or could something stranger have been responsible for the bizarre markings left behind in the hills of North Carolina?
