Heavy footsteps beside a tent. A pale humanoid crossing a wooded road. Yellow eyes beyond a flashlight beam. A driver’s fragmented memories of a possible abduction.

Join Lon Strickler on Phantoms & Monsters Radio for UNEXPLAINED APPALACHIA, a collection of 12 witness accounts and report summaries from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and northern Georgia.

Tonight’s presentation includes an unsettling night in Michaux State Forest, hikers reportedly followed through the Virginia woods, an alleged Bigfoot encounter near McAfee Knob, a canine-like creature in eastern Tennessee, heavy movement in the treetops near Jack’s River Falls, unexplained lights, and a reported 2007 abduction in southwestern Virginia.

These accounts are presented as reported experiences, with witness observations distinguished from proposed explanations. Their inclusion does not establish paranormal activity or confirm the identities of the figures described.

Which encounter stood out to you? Share your thoughts, or your own Appalachian experience, in the comments.
