Appalachian Murder, Mystery And Legend

Appalachian Murder, Mystery And Legend

Host: Larry Bentley

Learn about the true Appalachian, mysteries, legends, murder & history as well as those stories outside Appalachia as viewed by a true Appalachian. I’m Larry Bentley and I was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of southwest Virginia. I want to take you on a fantastic journey through the Appalachian mountains and beyond. We’re going to explore everything from murder, native folklore and legend to true stories of hardship as seen through the watery eyes of an old Appalachian. Come join me. I guarantee it’s not going to be anything like you think it is.
