On this West Virginia Morning, Mothman, the Flatwoods Monster, Civil War ghosts — for those who enjoy getting a bit spooked, West Virginia is one of the best places to find a Halloween-themed adventure. This weekend’s episode of Inside Appalachia features stories about spooky legends and ghost tales.
We sent one reporter — a self-proclaimed scaredy cat — to a Halloween-themed event “light” on the scares, but heavy on the spooky creatures. Brittany Patterson reports from the West Virginia State Wildlife Center in north-central West Virginia.
Also on today’s show, singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin delivers this week’s Mountain Stage Song Of the Week. “Shotgun Down the Avalanche,” is one of several songs from her album Steady On.
