This episode we journey to one of West Virginia’s most iconic natural landmarks: Seneca Rocks, a jagged outcropping rising nearly 900 feet above the North Fork River.

By day, it draws climbers, hikers, and photographers. By night—or in fog and shadow—it becomes the center of one of the state’s most enduring legends: the Seneca Rocks Phantom.

On this episode we’ll explore sightings spanning decades, the history of the rocks, and accounts from those who have felt the presence of something unseen along the escarpment.

The 13,000-square-mile National Radio Quiet Zone surrounding Green Bank has prevented most wireless signals for decades due to the Green Bank Telescope’s sensitivity. The silence has made the region a hotspot for unusual sky sightings, unexplained lights, and reports of missing time. This episode uses available FAA logs, astronomer interviews, and reported encounters that cluster around Pocahontas County.

For more than a century West Virginians have described encounters with ghost-white creatures ranging from wolf-like beasts to upright humanoids. These “White Things” appear in multiple counties including Boone, Kanawha, and Randolph. This episode analyzes clusters of reports, recorded descriptions, local newspaper archives, and oral histories tracing the legend to pre-Civil War sightings.
