Or, and hear me out, that’s all bullshit carried over from a time when people still burned witches.
Just saying, it makes no sense for all the scary shit to be isolated in the most easily accessible mountain range in the U.S. yet you never hear people treat the Rocky’s with the same mysticism.
I’m just saying there’s a different vibe to the fears people have of the region, and by saying the Rocky mountains don’t have the same vibe you kinda proved my point.
Ah, the traditionally (and mildly classist and racist) assumption that people out west are somehow mentally superior and more educated, while the people in Appalachia are poor dumb hicks.
Superstition is superstition - you can try to paint this as a class thing but ultimately ghosts aren’t fucking real. Seems like one part of the country gets that, the other doesn’t.
There’s a difference between scary and creepy.
Your mountains? That’s scary. It’s frightening in the moment, but at the end of the day, ok, you made it down the mountain.
These mountains? They’re creepy. When you come down the mountain, something comes down with you.

No, I’m saying people who live in the Rocky mountains aren’t as superstitious as those who live in the Appalachian mountains.
