Description

We explore the story of the first Mothman sightings, as written by a small-town journalist in 1966.

Also, every year, hundreds of people celebrate Bridge Day by parachuting from the 876-foot-tall New River Gorge bridge. But not just anyone can do it. 

And, the Columbus Washboard Company used to make washboards for laundry. Now, people use them to make music.

You’ll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia.
