Welcome to the nearly 2 hour spooky season Appalachian Trail extravaganza! After some brief talk of Haley's experience with the recent Hurricane Ian, we dive straight into the magical land that is Appalachia. Part-time co-host Corey returns with some local lore, Jillian covers the tragedy as usual, and Haley talks about cryptids, specifically Mothman, for spooky season.
