The Woods I Knew is an immersive podcast about the strange pull of wild places, and the people who answer it. Each season takes a different path into the wilderness, using storytelling, memory, documentary, historical voices, and atmospheric sound to explore what draws us beyond the familiar. Season One is a serialized audio drama reconstructing a childhood haunted by the unexplained in the remote Appalachian woods. Season Two turns outward, pairing intimate first-person accounts with artfully reconstructed voices from the past: wanderers, keepers, mystics, and others who found something in the wilderness they could not quite leave behind. Somewhere between oral history, meditation, and the uncanny, The Woods I Knew asks what happens when a landscape stops feeling like scenery and starts to feel like a presence. more

In the heart of Appalachia, monsters don't just haunt the woods — they walk Main Street. When small-town constable Chandler Blood bonds with a demon in his head, he gains visions of trouble before it strikes. Unfortunately, trouble arrives in the form of his long-missing best friend, John Moone — now a monster hunter for a secretive corporate agency. Together, they stumble into a web of supernatural threats and small-town secrets that could tear their community apart. From redneck vampires and fire demons to eccentric forest wizards and a corrupt sheriff hungry for power , The Blood & Moone Files blends Appalachian small town setting, buddy-comedy banter, and creeping mystery into a serialized audio drama. This indie series delivers equal parts humor, horror, and heart — where loyalty is tested, magic is dangerous, and the monsters aren't always the ones in the woods. 🎧 New episodes coming soon.

In a cabin at the edge of the Appalachian foothills, Luna sits at a roughhewn kitchen table, a mason jar of black salt in one hand. She sprinkles a line across the windowsill, a warding gesture older than the kerosene lamp that flickers beside a faded hex sign on the cabinet. Each episode of Backwoods and Black Salt is a self-contained story pulled from the dirt roads and hollows where folk magic meets raw survival. These are tales of crossroads bargains, milk-sick houses, and the things that rattle the horseshoe above the door. Luna speaks in a hush, as if the walls themselves might listen. The unifying thread is place — a specific, rooted dread that comes from knowing the land remembers what you forgot. No wraparound arc, no recurring characters; just a collection of whispered chronicles from a world where black salt is both remedy and boundary. Open the jar and listen, but mind the line.#AppalachianHorror #FolkMagic #BlackSalt #HexSign #SmallTownHorror #BackwoodsTerror #CabinHorror #RuralDread #CryptidEncounters #MountainFolklore #WardingStories #SlowBurnHorror #FolkHorror #AnthologyPodcast #LunaNarrates #Horror #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorrorKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo more

Deep in the Appalachian hollers, where fog clings to rhododendron thickets and black creeks run cold beneath mossy bridges, Luna gathers around a kerosene lamp and tells the stories that hollow out the land itself. 'Hollow Country' is an anthology of self-contained tales rooted in the geography of the American South — abandoned mining camps, half-sunken graveyards, crossroads that only appear during eclipses, and families who've been keeping secrets since before the railroad came through. Each episode stands alone, but every story shares a quiet, inevitable dread: the sense that the mountains are older than memory, and not everything buried stays buried. From a woman who finds her own name carved on a tree in a hollow she's never visited, to a game warden who uncovers a poacher's camp where the kills were never animals, these are slow-burn horror stories told close to the mic, with no jump scares and no easy exits. Luna's voice is the only sound you'll hear — that, and maybe the creak of a floorboard overhead, or the trickle of water where no water should be. The hollow is listening. The question is whether you are.#AppalachianHorror #SouthernGothic #HollowCountry #FolkHorror #SlowBurnHorror #AnthologyPodcast #KerosenLampStories #MountainDread #RhododendronThicket #BlackCreekHorror #FexingoHorror #Horror #HorrorPodcast #StorytellingHorror #NarratedHorror #LunaHorror #SmallTownHorror #AmericanGothicKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo more

In the folds of an Appalachian holler, where mist clings to the ridgelines and the dark spreads like a slow flood, Luna sits on a cabin porch and listens. These are the stories told by the mountain itself — whispered through leaves, carried on night winds, spoken in the creak of old floorboards. Each episode of 'Holler Tales' is a self-contained folk horror story rooted in the hollows and hills of Appalachia: a bride who follows a lantern light into the woods and never returns; a well that speaks in the voice of a drowned child; a music box found in a collapsed root cellar that plays a song no one has taught it. The unifying thread is the land — ancient, watchful, and patient. Luna's voice is the only constant, a quiet presence at the edge of the firelight. These are not tales of monsters with names, but of the slow rot that takes hold when you stay too long in a place that has forgotten the sun. Listen if you dare to hear what the holler has to say.#AppalachianHorror #FolkHorror #HollerTales #MountainStories #CabinPorch #LunaNarrates #SlowBurnHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SouthernGothic #WoodsHorror #FireflyDread #RidgeLineTerror #OldTimeStories #MistAndDark #Horror #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorror #StorytellingHorrorKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo more
