Mysterious Kentucky Vol. 2: The Dark and Bloody Ground

For thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers in America, the land now known as Kentucky was considered "cursed" by the Native Americans. The Cherokee Indians warned the white men who purchased the land in 1775 not to try and settle there; that a "dark cloud" hung over Kain-tuck-ee, and that it was a fit dwelling-place for only ghosts and monsters. The white men chuckled at such notions, of course, but many of them didn't laugh for long. Almost immediately the troubles began. People started seeing and experiencing things. Strange things. Unexplainable things. Odd lights, and other objects, flitted about the skies, and the heavily-forested mountains and valleys echoed with the blood-curdling screams of giant, hair-covered inhumanoids which apparently lived therein. Now, after nearly 250 years of habitation, many Kentuckians aren't laughing at all, for they have come to understand the nature of the Cherokee's grim warning firsthand.
