In the Shadows of These Mountains: Echoes in the Hollows By Michael Webb Some stories are told. Others are inherited—passed down through blood, land, and whispers in the dark. In this gripping collection of Appalachian true tales, Michael Webb takes you deep into the shadowed hollows of West Virginia, where the mountains remember what most try to forget.

Perfect for fans of true hauntings, Appalachian folklore, and small-town secrets that cut deep, this book isn’t just about ghosts. It’s about the places that shape us—and the spirits we can’t leave behind.
