Don't be afraid.

Lock the doors.

Turn out the lights and climb into bed.

It's time for hillbilly.

Dead time.

Stories.

Living in Kentucky, I've been blessed to have heard so many great local stories involving the paranormal, UFOs, cryptids, or at the very least stories that were basically unexplainable.

Some are very well known, such as the horrific suffering that went on in

Waverly Hill Sanatorium while it was a fully functional tuberculosis hospital. The tales of

haunting since its closing are known worldwide. Of course the same can be said of Bobby Mackey's

music world, dubbed the world's most haunted nightclub.

There are other stories that are well-renowned, such as the Populik Monster, a half-man,

half-goat creature that lures you to an active train track, sometimes resulting in death.

The goat man will be the subject of its own episode very soon. Kentucky, like most

other states, has hundreds of lesser-known legends, one of which is the legend of Gilbert

Spencer.

Thank you. Oh, yeah. The Even though the Civil War was 150 years ago, there are still old-timers in Kentucky who have stories to tell from that time.

Most of these have been passed on through parents and grandparents.

The story of Gilbert Spencer is one of the most popular in the mountains of eastern Kentucky.

During the Civil War, many men from the area left to fight, some for the north, some for

the south. Many boys that were 17 years of age were also called upon to fight, some for the North, some for the South.
