Oh, there's no end to the tales whispered in those shadowy peaks of the Appalachians! Some folks swear by the spectral sightings of the legendary Gray Man, warning of upcoming storms, or the chilling cries of the phantom hitchhiker of Roaring Fork Motor Trail.
Sure makes for some hair-raising camping stories, huh? But remember, these are all folklore, no concrete evidence to support them. Still, they add a dash of thrill to the already breathtaking vista of the Appalachian Mountains!
Based on Cherokee and Appalachian myths, the cryptic narrative about supernatural events hangs in breathless silence over the Appalachian Mountains. Between the ghost stories of yesteryear and the mysteries of 'The Brown Mountain Lights'-unexplained lights of any kind has no source yet determined, the Brown Mountains in Morganton have seen hundreds or thousands of hikes.
Similar ghost stories about the specter calling himself 'The Gray Man', who is said to appear during storms brought on tumult, yet always escape there spirit safely and give themselves be given back life-even in his own time some witnesses tell--are still heard. If you dig even deeper, there's the eerie legend of' The Phantom of Roaring Fork Motor Trail'. An otherworldly hitchhiker who vanishes if ever he is joined for a ride.
But despite such moving stories, the fact remains that these tales and this uncertain evidence form mainly part of folklore, tales told around flickering bonfires. I, for one, only feel that these weird legends provoke a sense of curiosity and wonderment with the already awesome Appalachian mountains, bringing amazement and reflection to life.
Thus while sceptics remain regarding these historical records, the mystic potential of Appalachia beckons Buddhists and Pagans alike to venture into the fold for themselves.

Forget everything paranormal romance taught you about playing it safe. The vampires here don't sparkle and the werewolves don't apologize for their nature, here the demons are surprisingly good at negotiation.
Freaky After Dark is a collection of steamy paranormal stories where supernatural creatures get to be exactly what they are; powerful, possessive, and irresistibly magnetic.
These aren't just about pretty faces with fangs. Every creature has their own nature, their own needs, their own way of loving that's deliciously different from anything human.
From vampires whose bites promise pleasure to werewolves who claim their mates under the full moon and demons who seduce with words as much as touch, Nagas who wrap around you, Dragons whose warmth becomes addictive. And yes, a few beings with creative anatomy.
There's an actual story here with conflict, emotion and characters who probably want more than just a quick hook-up. But when desire takes over, these creatures don't hold back, they are intense, devoted, and they know exactly how to make you forget your own name.
Expect claiming marks, protective possession, fated mates, size differences, primal need, reverse harem and pleasures that borders on overwhelming, and supernatural stamina that doesn't quit.
️Not for you if: you prefer things slow and gentle, or if the idea of non-human lovers doesn't appeal.
Perfect for you if: you've always wondered what it would be like to be wanted by something powerful, to be claimed by someone who'll never let go, to find out if monsters really are better in bed.

Petra Winslow was the universally acknowledged ice queen of our research institute, and she claimed she could hear what animals were saying.
When our convoy was passing through Greyridge bear territory, she suddenly called for us to stop and pointed at a bear by the roadside.
"It says it's starving. Let's get out and feed it. I can hear its thoughts. Trust me, it won't hurt us."
In my last life, I had refused without hesitation. "That's a Greyridge bear, not some housecat. It'll tear through you like you're made of paper."
The team backed down.
Later, when news broke that the bear had died, Petra publicly blamed me for it. "I told everyone that the bear was starving, and he stopped us. He's the one who killed it."
The internet tore me apart, and Petra's followers stabbed me to death.
When I opened my eyes again, there it was on the other side of the windshield, a skeletal Greyridge bear standing by the road.
Petra's eyes glistened with tears. "The poor thing. If we don't feed it now, it'll starve to death."
The others turned to me. "Come on, Petra said it's hungry, so it's hungry."
"Don't chicken out on us."
I pulled the car over, reached for my seatbelt, and clicked it tight.
"Sure. I'm all for it. Go right ahead."
