Appalachian Folklore: Appalachian Witchcraft

On this episode of Spirits & Ghost Stories, we return to Appalachia and explore more of the folklore surrounding witchcraft in Appalachia. The history of Appalachia itself is the history of the granny witchcraft tradition; although the name is relatively new, the customs go back a long time. A combination of folk magic, faith healing, and superstitions, granny magic was often the only source of aid for people in remote, isolated regions.  on this episode, we uncover what happened to a family that stumbled upon a witch in the Appalachian Mountains.
