Capturing the eerie, yet beautiful essence of Appalachia. The areas' mythos tells a story of occult warfare between the Algonquin tribes and the Iroquoian tribes. This occult war involved curses, summonings, rituals, and sacrifice. To this day, the modern mountain’s inhabitants believe that they share the land with its long-standing curses, superstition, and cryptids. These beliefs are not unwarranted as real cases of missing persons and tragic events are common occurrences in Appalachia.
