A chilling tale of Appalachian witchcraft and restless revenge… from the haunted hills of Bath County, Kentucky. Deep in the heart of haunted Kentucky, there’s a place where the trees lean like they’re listenin’, and the wind refuses to whisper right — a place known as Widow’s Ridge. In this Appalachian ghost story from Kentucky Melody, we unravel the tragic legend of Malina Cade, a misunderstood woman branded a mountain witch after the mysterious death of her cruel husband in 1879. Forced from her home by fear and superstition, Malina vanished into the woods… but her story didn’t end there. Locals say her spirit still roams that ridge — whispering warnings, turning paths unfamiliar, and haunting the steps of any man foolish enough to trespass after dark. From ghostly sightings and phantom tales to strange deaths and whispers in the trees, this is one of Kentucky’s most creepy and chilling narratives, woven from Appalachian folklore and dark folklore passed down through generations.
