In a recent episode of the Jeff Morrow podcast, host Jeff Morrow interviewed Mary Joyce, an experienced journalist and editor of skyships over cashiers.com. The topic of their discussion was the Cherokee Little People, a fascinating subject that I recently stumbled upon while browsing YouTube. Mary shared her intriguing discovery of the Cherokee Little People after moving to the mountains of North Carolina. She had heard about these little legends and, after meeting an elderly man with a great reputation, she learned that they were indeed real. This man, a World War II hero, pastor, and construction worker, told her about the little square cut tunnels with arch tops that he and his colleagues had found during construction projects at Western Carolina University. These tunnels, measuring 2.5 feet wide and 3.5 to 4 feet tall, were found throughout the campus, and skeletons were discovered within them. Mary interviewed several construction workers from the early days of building Western Carolina University, capturing their stories and experiences in her book. According to Mary, the Cherokee Little People were about three feet tall, with some reaching three and a half feet. The tunnels were slightly taller and wider than the people themselves. Interestingly, a high school English teacher identified a small skull as not belonging to a child, but rather to a fully formed adult with wisdom teeth and knitted skull sutures. Mary also mentioned that there were historical records within the Cherokee Indians that talked about the little people, although she didn't go into detail about these records. After publishing her book, Cherokee Little People Were Real, Mary received even more stories from the local Cherokee community. One such story came from a shy Cherokee woman who described a little man she saw in her family's trailer as looking like Mowgli from The Jungle Book. Another tale involved an uncle who showed his niece little footprints on his porch after dusting flower across it. The Cherokee people believe that the little people were on Earth before they arrived, and that they came from the Great Lakes region. The Cherokee initially called them the moon people because they were active at night. Mary's captivating interview with Jeff Morrow sheds light on the existence of the Cherokee Little People and their connection to the Cherokee community.
