The mysteries of the Appalachian forest
I have been reading a lot about the Appalachian mountains recently. They are a mountain range in eastern to northeastern North America. It ranges from the Island of Newfoundland to Central Alabama. So they are huge and by the words of folklore, hold many mysteries.
You have a lot of videos on the internet telling you what not to do when you are out at night in the forest. Or even if you have a house near the forest. You must not whistle, you must not run, you must not call your name or the names of your companions, and many more rules. All of those things attract stuff above your comprehension.
It is known that once the Appalachians and The Scottish highlands were one mountain range. That explains why both of them hold immense mystical powers.
Have you ever experienced anything weird walking in the Appalachian forest? Do you have more tips on what not to do when you are there?
