Holler Nights

Not every story from these mountains is a case file.

Some of them never made the news. They made it into the stories people still tell — around fires, on porches, late at night. Passed down, changed a little each time, half-remembered and half-believed.

Holler Nights is a limited series from Bramble and Bone, stepping outside our usual true crime casework to explore the aliens, ghosts, cryptids, and old mountain folklore of Appalachia. These are campfire stories — some documented, some legend, all told in the spirit of the mountains they come from.

We cover four kinds of stories:

🛸 The Skies — the lights people have seen over these mountains for decades that nobody's ever been able to explain away

👻 The Restless — the ghosts that never quite left, still walking halls and bridges and back roads long after anyone remembers their names

🐾 The Woods — the things people swear they've seen moving between the trees

🌙 The Old Ways — the folk magic, the charms, and the mountain wisdom our grandparents swore by

I'm Silas Cade, and every episode, I'll bring you one more story from these hollers.
