About this Event

About the Book:

Encounters with Wolfman and Goatman. An Air National Guard captain who tragically lost his life in pursuit of a peculiar UFO. The Goblin Incident of 1955. Hauntings at Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Spanning these and other out-of-this-world topics, Paranormal Kentucky is an investigation into more than twenty cases—some famous, some more obscure—of the supernatural across the Commonwealth. Incidents featuring iconic cryptids like Bigfoot and Mothman, which are rumored to lurk elsewhere in Appalachia and the continental US, are also explored. Coauthors Marie Mitchell and Mason Smith approach each case with nuance and offer in-depth details from multiple perspectives, providing rational explanations alongside the "true believer" claims and mysteries that remain. In addition to field investigations and witness interviews, the duo shares stories of their own experiences with "high strangeness." Mitchell and Smith offer wry but sympathetic accounts, placing Kentucky history and folklore at the forefront of their work. Paranormal Kentucky reminds us that perhaps not everything is as it seems—and that fact can often be found in fiction.

About the Authors:

Marie Mitchell and Mason Smith enjoy tracking cryptids, searching for Little Green Men, and chasing ghosts around the Commonwealth. However, these former journalists and retired Eastern Kentucky University professors have never been haunted by spirits themselves. They’ve never seen Bigfoot, nor have they ever been abducted by aliens—that they’re aware of. But they are fascinated by accounts from people who believe they have experienced such phenomena. What the couple found through their travels and research was too entertaining to keep to themselves, so they invite you to join them on this journey into Kentucky’s paranormal activity.
