Season 4 of Appalachian Mysteria will be a little different than our previous seasons.

We're asking you, the listeners, to suggest cases that you think are important to the

region. We'll be selecting stories that we think are a good fit, and crediting those

who bring our attention to them, each story will be at least one full episode in length.

What makes for a good story? Lots of things, some of which you hopefully already appreciate

on the show, twists and turns, aspects of the unexplained, and the less it's been reported

on, the more interesting it is, of course. If you've got an Appalachian mystery, send

it our way. We've set up an email address just for you at Mysteria Suggestions at gmail.com.

That email address again is Mysteria Suggestions at gmail.com. Help us make season 4 awesome.

home to a lot of retired FBI agents because it's not that far from DC, but it still has a very

green, very rural kind of feeling. You'll go through developed areas and then you'll go through,
