Explore the places where history, myth, and mystery blur together-and the past never really stays buried.

Perfect for lovers of regional history, folk tales, and the uncanny side of Americana, Appalachian Curiosities invites you to step off the beaten path-and into the forgotten corners of the mountains.

The stories are real. The mysteries are waiting.
