Appalachia already gave us rules about whistling, looking, answering voices in the woods, and generally knowing when to mind our own business. Naturally, we responded by finding three Reddit paranormal stories about people doing their best while the mountains apparently ignored every reasonable boundary. We’ve got a honeymoon cabin outside Gatlinburg where voices start calling people by name, a West Virginia dirt road with an eight-foot white figure waiting near a fallen tree, and a bizarre, shadowy camper at Elkmont whose headlight does something lights are absolutely not supposed to do. Meanwhile, Joel arrives as Aunt Judith and becomes increasingly concerned about everyone involved, including us.
