Folklore and the unexplained in the Smoky Mountains

This travel guide brings together haunted places, regional legends, and reports of supernatural encounters associated with the Great Smoky Mountains. Its subject matter ranges from creatures such as Devil Monkeys and Wampus Cats to ghost sightings and episodes from North American history, placing local folklore alongside more recent accounts. The book frames the mountains as a landscape shaped by stories of the uncanny, with roads and trails serving as points of reference for exploring that lore. Its mix of travel-guide framing and paranormal subject matter makes it as much an introduction to Smoky Mountain legends as a guide to the region’s eerie associations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers interested in haunted locations and unusual regional lore
  • Readers curious about Appalachian folklore, ghosts, and cryptids
  • Fans of paranormal travel guides

Book overview

Monsters and legends roam the mists of the Great Smoky Mountains!

 

This old mountain range holds many secrets in its dark hollers and twisting coves. This guide will help you traverse the haunted roads and trails less traveled. Use it as a reference for the preternatural world within this section of the Appalachian Mountain range.

 

You may call them tall tales, folklore, dark legends, or simple superstitions, but tell that to the many tourists and hikers who disappear within these hills every year. From Devil Monkeys to Wampus Cats, there are a menagerie of unthinkable creatures lying in wait.

 

From the team behind the hit podcast "Eerie Travels" and the best-selling book Eerie Appalachia, discover what lurks on the Dark Side of the Smoky Mountains. We'll guide you through some of the darkest moments in North American history all the way to modern sightings of ghosts, cryptids, and all things preternatural.
