Book Synopsis Mountain Mysteries by : Larry D. Thacker

Download or read book Mountain Mysteries written by Larry D. Thacker and published by The Overmountain Press. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A near-obsessive pursuit of ghost stories and odd superstitions cranks up this serious study of Appalachian tales of the supernatural and their origin in both old-world customs and real historical events. An effort to preserve and record one aspect of a dying way of life, the book relies on interviews and historic documents to search for the facts behind local lore of murder, witchcraft, and weird hauntings. Several campfire-worthy ghost stories are recounted in their entirety—including "The Swinging Gate of Fern Lake Hollow"—and an unexpectedly large number of stories about aliens and UFOs provide an interesting comparison of three-century-old mysteries and those stirred up in comparatively recent times
