In a recent video from The 'X' Zone Broadcast Network, host Larry Lawson interviews author Mark Muncy about his latest book, "Eerie Appalachia." Muncy is known for his work in the realm of paranormal history, focusing on legendary beasts and folklore from different areas.
During the interview, Muncy discusses his start in the paranormal field, which began with a haunted attraction based on Florida folklore and legends. It was through this attraction that Muncy received an email about a small person, or "little person" as he refers to it, who was stealing fruit from a farm in the Lake Wales area. The police were called, and the small person was arrested and kept in an orange crate due to the lack of handcuffs that would fit him. This story, which Muncy initially dismissed as unverifiable, became the starting point for his research and writing career after he found a group of people who remembered the incident.
Muncy also talks about his personal experience with a creature he saw on his family's farm in Kentucky, which he describes as having the head of a man, the body of a big cat or cow, and a glowing head. This experience sparked his interest in the folklore and history behind such legends, and he now focuses on tying these stories to their historical roots.
One interesting location that Muncy mentions is Black Tower, located between Vero Beach, Ryan, and Tampa on State Road 60. The tower, built by millionaire Andrew Bach, is known for its height and the strange occurrences that have been reported in the area.
Overall, the video is an interesting look into the world of paranormal history and the research that goes into uncovering the stories behind these legends. As a curator for Squatchable, I encourage our readers to check out the video and learn more about Mark Muncy's work.
