Mountain Monsters

Superstitions and legends are an integral part of Appalachian culture.

These myths and folktales have been handed down through generations and showcased in hit TV shows like The X-Files and Mountain Monsters.

The region's extensive history, which includes the amalgamation of European, African, and Native American cultures, has given rise to numerous urban legends, folktales, and ghost stories throughout the area.

Well, friends, there you have it.

I'm gonna plug our other podcast, Big Feats.

Uh, we, as of this recording, uh, that's not the airing order, but as of this recording, uh, in a few days here, we're going to record the last episode of Mountain Monsters.

Just one left.

That's all we gotta do.

In Kentucky, there have long been reports of massive black dogs measuring about four feet high at the shoulder and seven feet long, and one of these beasts allegedly prowled the area of Pike County through the 1930s and '40s, reportedly massacring cattle and sometimes even humans, as well as frightening locals.

In modern times, such reports drew the interest of paranormal and cryptid investigators for the TV show Mountain Monsters, who went to the area for an investigation.

The excursion would turn out to be pretty bizarre, if inconclusive.

The investigators spoke with farmers in the area who showed them torn apart carcasses of livestock and gave spooky accounts of something large and dark prowling through the wilderness.

This year's Big Feet's the only Mountain Monsters watch-along podcast.

I'm Robert Brockway, and it looks like both of my co-hosts are out with COVID today.

So if nobody minds, I'm just going to kind of goof around with my lunch a little bit.

They're sniping at each other on each other's Facebook pages.

There's no way what this podcast is going to turn into in three, four episodes.

I don't remember what it is until Mountain Monsters is over.

Because it's almost over, was my point when I originally brought this up.
