The Flatwoods Monster // The Raven Mocker
In Chapter 1, Amber delves into the legend of The Flatwoods Monster, a mythical entity from West Virginia folklore reportedly sighted in the town of Flatwoods, Braxton County, United States, on September 12, 1952, following the appearance of a brilliant light in the night sky.
In the subsequent segment, Austin shares the tale of The Raven Mocker, also referred to as Kâ'lanû Ahkyeli'skï, an ominous spirit revered as the most feared among Cherokee witches. According to Cherokee spiritual beliefs, this malevolent entity preys upon the sick and dying, stealing their hearts.
Chapter 2: March 17th 9am CST
The Bell Witch // Brown Mountain Lights
In Chapter 2, Amber provides insight into The Bell Witch, also recognized as the Bell Witch Haunting, a well-known tale in Southern United States folklore. This legend centers on the 19th-century Bell family of northwest Robertson County, Tennessee, who resided along the Red River in the vicinity of what is now Adams.
Meanwhile, Austin delves into the enigmatic phenomenon of The Brown Mountain Lights in the subsequent portion. These mysterious ghostly lights have been observed near Brown Mountain in North Carolina. The earliest documented accounts of these peculiar lights date back to around 1910, aligning with the widespread introduction of electric lighting in the region..
Chapter 3: March 31st 9am CST
Grafton Monster // The Cherokee Death Cat
In the first segment, Amber will recount the tale of The Grafton Monster, a cryptid relatively unknown in the Mountain State for many years. It was initially sighted by journalist Robert Cockrell (1946-2022) late in the evening on June 16, 1964, beside Route 119 along the Tygart Valley River near Grafton. Two days later, in the Grafton Sentinel newspaper, Cockrell described the creature as standing between seven and nine feet tall, possessing "seal-like" skin, and appearing headless while emitting a whistling sound. According to Cockrell, it swiftly scurried away and was never sighted again (to the best of anyone's knowledge).
Meanwhile, Austin will delve into the origin and variations of The Cherokee Death Cat. According to Cherokee legends, the monster is believed to be the cat-like manifestation of a female spectator who was cursed by tribal elders. This curse was imposed as punishment for her act of concealing herself beneath the skin of a wild cat to secretly observe a sacred ceremony.
Chapter 4: April 14th 9am CST
Bigfoot // The Sheepsquatch
It’s shaping up to be quite the showdown in this chapter.
In this final chapter, Amber will delve into the legend of Bigfoot, also commonly referred to as Sasquatch. This mythical creature is described as a large and hairy humanoid purportedly inhabiting forests in North America, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Bigfoot holds a prominent place in both American and Canadian folklore and has achieved enduring iconic status in popular culture.
For the concluding segment of Chapter 4, Austin will shed more light on the Sheepsquatch. Roaming the Appalachian mountains, the Sheepsquatch is a cryptid that has captivated numerous hunters, including Calvin van Lowe, who dedicated his life to tracking it down. While evidence suggests the creature existed prior to the Great War, awareness of its existence was not widespread.
