GITM #70 The Moon Eyed People

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?

GITM #70 The Moon Eyed People

In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we journey into the deep folklore of Southern Appalachia to explore the legend of the mysterious Moon Eyed People. Described in Cherokee oral traditions as pale, nocturnal beings who could not tolerate sunlight, these strange figures have remained one of the most debated and enigmatic legends connected to the mountains of western North Carolina. We examine the origins of the stories, the historical theories surrounding who or what the Moon Eyed People may have been, and why tales of these mysterious beings have persisted for generations throughout the Appalachian region. From ancient myths to possible lost civilizations, the legend continues to blur the line between history, folklore, and the unexplained.

GITM #69 The Naked Ghost of Craven Street Bridge

In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore the strange legend of the Craven Street Bridge in Asheville, North Carolina, where witnesses have long reported seeing the apparition of a young boy near the bridge spanning the French Broad River. Local stories trace the haunting back to the early 1900s, when a group of boys swimming in the river were caught in dangerous currents near the bridge and one of them disappeared beneath the water. We dive into the history behind the bridge, the sightings reported over the years, and the unsettling accounts of a pale figure appearing near the roadway before vanishing into the darkness. Whether it is lingering folklore, residual energy tied to tragedy, or something stranger haunting the riverbanks, the legend of the Craven Street Bridge remains one of Asheville's most chilling ghost stories.

Cone Memorial Park in Boone, North Carolina, a place known for its sweeping views and quiet beauty by day, but unsettling presence after dark. Stories have circulated for years about a lone figure seen standing in the upper windows of the manor, watching silently as visitors pass below, long after the home was meant to be empty.
