Tennessee Folklore

In Tennessee, the hills hum with old songs and older secrets. Deep in the Smokies and along winding riverbanks, stories of ghostly fiddlers, witches in the holler, and creatures half-seen through the mist still stir the imagination. Rooted in Appalachian myth and Southern superstition, Tennessee’s folklore is a haunting melody of wonder, warning, and the wild unknown—passed from front porch to fireside through generations.
