THE MYSTERIOUS NIGHT WALKERS.

The Moon-Eyed People are a legendary group said to have roamed Appalachia long before settlers arrived. Described as short, pale, and wide-eyed, they are said to emerge only at night, disappearing with the dawn.

Local tales speak of their strange glowing eyes and their secretive ways, with some believing they are an ancient tribe or spirits watching over the mountains.

Whether myth or reality, the Moon-Eyed People add an eerie layer to Appalachian folklore — creatures of shadow and moonlight that remain forever elusive.

When the moon hangs low and the night grows still, watch for the pale eyes of the Moon-Eyed People.
