From mountaintops to sand dunes, the Carolinas' backroads and byroads hold legends and lore behind every hill and around every curve. Dig in to a new volume of cryptids, hauntings, and weird phenomena from among the endless surprises and strange phenomena awaiting you in North and South Carolina.
Tthe creators of the award-winning podcast Arcane Carolinas bring you a second collection of tales spanning these two storied states. Rich in history and creative consideration, each legend shines in the twin spotlights of historical research and enthusiastic appreciation.
I’m a huge fan of this podcast and the series of books about various stories from episodes is a brilliant tie-in and fun to add to the published oral histories and folklore available. Highly recommend.
I love the approach of both this book & the connected podcast - look into local legends & folklore, do actual primary source research to try and verify, and discuss what they find. Getting it into written form, instead of just as a podcast, makes that research much more accessible.
