Heavy footsteps beside a tent. A pale humanoid crossing a wooded road. Yellow eyes beyond a flashlight beam. A driver’s fragmented memories of a possible abduction.

Join Lon Strickler on Phantoms & Monsters Radio for UNEXPLAINED APPALACHIA, a collection of 12 witness accounts and report summaries from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and northern Georgia.

Tonight’s presentation includes an unsettling night in Michaux State Forest, hikers reportedly followed through the Virginia woods, an alleged Bigfoot encounter near McAfee Knob, a canine-like creature in eastern Tennessee, heavy movement in the treetops near Jack’s River Falls, unexplained lights, and a reported 2007 abduction in southwestern Virginia.

These accounts are presented as reported experiences, with witness observations distinguished from proposed explanations. Their inclusion does not establish paranormal activity or confirm the identities of the figures described.

A towering figure in Bankhead National Forest. Orange eyes outside a farmhouse near Guntersville. A silent winged humanoid above the University of Alabama. And voices calling “Come inside” from a dark drainage tunnel in Mobile.

Tonight on Phantoms & Monster Radio, UNEXPLAINED ALABAMA brings together eight unsettling accounts of unusual creatures, mysterious lights, and encounters that witnesses say changed the way they see the world.

In this presentation:

• Two encounters on the same stretch of road near Auburn: a massive, maned canine and a silent three-light object.

• A fisherman’s frightening encounter with a dark-haired figure in Bankhead National Forest.

• A pale, long-limbed humanoid watching from behind a tree in north-central Alabama.

• Recurring disturbances and a wolf-like visitor at a farmhouse near Guntersville.

• A huge, leathery winged animal reported near Big Creek Lake outside Mobile.

• A student’s sighting of a silent winged humanoid over Tuscaloosa.

• A reported reptilian visitor at an isolated farm; the location is unspecified in the supplied account.

• A 1989 Mobile drainage-tunnel encounter involving strange voices, glowing eyes, and an unusually dressed family.

These are witness narratives presented for discussion, not independently verified events. Creature identifications and proposed connections reflect the interpretations described in the accounts.
