The Boojum, Mothman, the Brown Mountain Lights, and the Moon-Eyed People - the stuff of Appalachian legend… or is it?

5.00Really lovely evening. Angus is a great storyteller! I could listen to him tell spooky stories all night! He peppered in great (cheesy) jokes along the way and was just a great dude to hang out with for the evening.

5.00Angus was amazing! This was such a fun way to get to see some great local spots around Asheville’s South Slope neighborhood and to get to learn about some of the folklore of the Southern Highlands. We really had a wonderful time!
