@@kentuckymelody7204 Me either
.
My granny Haley told me once when I was youngen about seeing a witch when she was about 12 years old. She said the witch was standing next to a stream and there was a small tree that had fallen across the stream and that this witch turned herself into a black cat and crossed over the to the other side of the stream and then changed back into her self again and walked into the woods whistling. My granny grew up in wolf county in eastern Kentucky.
@@ezekielmoorejr3145 that’s where we’re located and this was inspired by stories my dad told me growing up
My last name is Hailey. We are from Calloway county now generations later in Southern IL
@@Prettypoison1968 We called my granny Haley, because that was her first name, but before her maiden name was Haley Brewer
I lived there for a while. Now living in Mt sterling. The type of people there just ain't the kind I want around me. The real ones are sadly jail birds. And the rest are worse than anything in folklore
@@dr.moscato293 I personally haven't been back there in years and my grandparents moved up to Michigan in the 40's
This all happened on Clack Mountain in Rowan County Kentucky...
Really? I grew up just down the road from Clack Mtn (just on the other side of Debbie Hill) but never heard any of this til now. But I do remember my great grandma Sexton telling me about an aunt she had that had been a witch.
@@kellyshomemadekitcheni grew up in Morgan county, we always heard about the clack mountain devil worshipers lol
@@vanessalewis1023 wow, I never did til watching this video. What part of Morgan County did you grow up in? I’m from Ditney Ridge myself and am related to several Lewis’. Probably to you too!
I'm from Rowan county KY. I've always heard about devil worship, especially on Clack Mountain.
@@kellyshomemadekitchen oh wow!! My best friend in school lived on Ditney! I grew up and live on Gordon Ford, over right beside the river
Wow this was spooky it really creeped me out !!!😮
I love this story
There is a saying that the greater the light the darker the shadow...If this doesn't sum up Kentucky I don't know what will. Great story. Great presentation. I hope to see more of this. You have a new subscriber. Well done.
My great grandmother was an Appalachian Root Witch. Everyone in the family seemed afraid of her. I surprisingly seem to have inherited her granny magic and I know why they were afraid.
You are so lucky
haha
“Is it possible to learn this power?” -Some guy in Star Wars probably
My thrice great-granny was one too. Would like to have some of her knowledge. Mix of herbalism and more to help others. Her sons were scared of her. I don't know exactly what they saw. Lost to history.
@@hellenback1445 do you know a reliable root worker here in North Carolina. I am at the foothills of North Carolina
The sad thing is that Anna's family probably shunned her already because she was lame. People were cruel back then to anyone different. Ignorance is an evil thing.
Agreed!

Sadly, people are still cruel .
Witches are everywhere. They don't sell their soul....well, desperate people may think they have to, but you either got the gift or you don't. I've read all the books and practiced my craft all my life. I believe I was born a witch. I did rituals to honor pagan gods and goddesses. My pantheon was Egyptian. I was a solitary practitioner, and it got very lonely. Tried out a couple of covens, and ran smack into egos. Everyone wants to be the high priest or priestess. We are only human. LOL. Living pagan was my way of life for years, and magick was all around. I am from S.E. Kentucky, but never knew another witch until I got to the bluegrass area. Blessed be y'all
There's definitely good and bad witches and some of us are just born with the gifts it just depends on how you use it. I definitely stay away from organized groups tho churches, cults & covens are not for me & I don't trust em.

@@mariamalicek7794 you're welcome. It is nice to have a forum to talk about our beliefs and opinions.
Blessed Be from eastern Ohio!
i really enjoyed this suspenseful story, thanks for sharing dude
Enjoyed this 😊
Male witch here I'm from hazard Kentucky I'm a good witch harm none but take no harm .
Are familiar with the Bible's discouragement of using those powers? It's forbidden. I'm a sensitive intuitive but don't summon spirits.
you identify as a male witch? lol
Jesus Christ is beyond powerful and submit to him before its too late!
The bible as we know it was given to us by the Catholic Church. An organization who's killed more people than the Mafia. Not exactly the most trustworthy organization
The Bible isn't exactly reliable
I believe people were more frightened at things that wasn’t understood back then. We take for granted that most of us carry a computer around with us everywhere we go nowadays with our smartphones
I can't understand why anyone would trade their eternal soul, for all eternity, for a few powers for 40, 50 or 60 years. That's akin to selling a one hundred million dollar mansion for a penny. And this falls far short of the value of one's own soul!
Watching this from Brisbane Australia, the history of eastern Kentucky is so fascinating. The land, the woods, the witches, that is wild and sinister. Great presentation, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love witch stories, they are a rare find. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
My Great Aunt was a witch. We lived at Dewey Lake in Floyd county Ky. As a child, I was never allowed to be alone with her
@@robynthompson7 I wonder why you were never allowed to be alone with her. Were they afraid you might be taught the craft? She wasn't going to put you in a cauldron and cook you!
My aunt started teaching me the craft in 1973. I was 6, and it was only because she noticed that I had clairvoyance and precognition, and I had an unusual habit of finding cash in random places out in public. Dollars, not coins. Takes one to know one.😂 I am so glad to have had her guidance and support. So many families tell their kids that witchcraft is evil. This is completely untrue. The first spell that I did was one that healed a dying fruit tree (with my 8 and 10 year old siblings).😊
I’m from Floyd county. Who is your aunt. Would love to know more
@matthewhicks1725 her name was Minnie Alice Spradlin. We lived up Stratton Branch. I was never allowed to be around her alone and my parents would never let me accept gifts from her. She had a wide variety of witch craft books and I heard all kinds of stories about the things she did. As a child I was scared to death of her but as an adult I find it very interesting.
Also from Floyd county
How interesting! I moved to Eastern Ky from Northern Virginia in 2021 and I must admit there is something supernatural about Eastern KY at night... hmmmm... anyways you just got a new subscriber :)
Thanks and welcome!
Great story but the music was too loud... Other than that this was a perfect story! Good job!
Used to hang people for being a witch but now witches are every where. Great story I enjoyed listening
Kentucky is very haunted lots of civil War grounds and caves
Excellent story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video is amazing!! The artwork is spectacular!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
That's why I tell my kids these are a set of mountains you don't want to enter at night. From booneville ky live in wallingford ky
You're right down the road from me
Never assume that people in other Faiths are Evil 🦇💙🖤
Witchcraft is inherently evil
@@HolyFamilyHermit
And what, precisely, do you actually know of US?
Nothing.
Tell me that healing using herbal remedies is "evil."
Tell me that soothing a colicky baby by rubbing its tummy is "evil."
We are Nature. We heal others, and know the keys to a lot of things.
Please, do not judge Us based on your ignorance.
Judge US, if you must (though Luke Ch6, Vs37 instructs not to), based upon Facts and Truths.
Blessèd Be
@@HolyFamilyHermitNo. That would depend upon the intention. There’s been a lot of those who claim to be Christians that are evil. From around 1095-present times there’s been many in several different categories of evil. From r*pe, murder and pillaging, to m*lestion of children, to cheating on their spouses, to being on the “Down-Low” if you catch my drift…Not all of us witches are evil. Not all Christians are evil. Are they? Oh yeah there was that one multi-millionaire “Man of God” who wouldn’t open his church to the Katrina victims…what was his name? Oh yes, Osteen, Joel. Fine example. There’s nothing evil about me, but you’ll think I am regardless of what I tell you because that’s what you’ve been told and taught to believe. Oh.. and before you assume I “Don’t know the Bible” I started going to church when I was 5. I’m 57 now. The only one in my family. I spent the better part of 35 years in the church and I’ve met some lovely people along the way, who actually walked their talk, but then I’ve known more who are the most judgmental, hateful, hypocritical, two-faced people on the planet who would rather condemn another person simply because they’re NOT a Christian. “Christians MUST help other Christians FIRST.” See, you’ll judge and condemn another belief because it’s not part of your system, when there are those of us who understand you have your path and journey and we have ours. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” What are your intentions? To continue to hate, condemn, misunderstand, FEAR another or open your mind to the fact evil exists regardless of faith and belief, while understanding that many of us “witches” don’t practice with evil intentions? We certainly don’t steal souls, but some people sure are quick to sell them. 😉
@laurel exactly 🤍🪽
@@HolyFamilyHermitit is simply as you speak it to be for you and your family….
Meaning spell work
WORDS spoken into existence; just as You did via your words above…
We know better and we are here with the love of GOD.
Nothing like old KY!
My great grandma's sister. She was diowned from the family when my grandma was a young girl. Mackey and Esther and Gunter last names are old around Kentucky
Harlan county KY born and raised i experienced a lot of strange things as a kid. I use to have a cat walk on my back while i was going to sleep, we didn't have a cat.
Oh my that is spooky. Thanks for sharing!
My great grandma was from Rowan county and her name was Anna! I dont think she sold her soul to a witch though, lol
I'm in the next country over!!! I've heard crazy stories about Rowan Co.
Awesome video Thank you❤❤

Glad you like them!
Thank you for this video.
Cool channel bro!
Thanks for the sub
When I lived in Eastern Kentucky a few years ago, I met a man who was scared to death of witches and said he saw one make a table walk across the room. He refused to talk about them further
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always intriguing to hear personal stories!
Surely these witches aren't the same as the mountain witches who helped people for free.
I believe there’s good and bad out there so this isn’t a good group of witches in the story.
I’m from HARLAN COUNTY KENTUCKY but moved to Columbus Indiana in august of 94 have not been back since my daddy’s service in 2017
That’s cool! Harlan County to Columbus is quite the move. Hope you’re enjoying life up there!
I don't even have to watch this I lived in Pikeville about 15 years ago I think I dated one
Haha!
Friendly neighborhood warlock, here, but I live just north of Virginia
This. Is. Good ❤❤❤
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
I found out my grandmother was a witch she hide it and went to a holy church with my grand father and her kids. That’s why I’m so drawn to the path .
Wow. She like a healer or mountain witch?
Music is overwhelming.
Sorry. I’m going to do a remake on several of my older videos to improve the audio.
Good story
Ya I'm interested in this story but like someone else stated the music is overwhelming... I can't really focus on the words... if you could do the video with the music really really soft that would work and I would love to watch. Thank you

Music is way too loud
Sorry. I’m going to do a remake on several of my older videos to improve the audio.
Anna's health probably just took a turn for the better, and her family and town were too superstitious to see it. So they shunned her, which is probably what made her sick with sadness.
Thanks for sharing and watching!
good comment section for laughs. egos flying.
Are there good books you could recommend concerning The Witches of Eastern Kentucky?
I’m not aware of any I can personally recommend but I’m going to attend the Battletown Witch Festival this weekend and I may find something then and will let you know!
So the witches were vanquished. I don't think so.😇. So why are they still so afraid?😼
Its true, im in WV and seen a witch turn to a cat....believe it or not
Wow! Thanks for sharing that story!
(Thank, you)
Thank you for watching!
Theo!! Is that you???
Please lower the background music😖it is so loud that I voild hardly hear the story😞
Got it! I’ll dial down the tunes so you can catch all the juicy bits of the story. We'll do a remake of this story without the music soon! Thanks for watching!
I played in the woods by myself at night as a young child. Creatures and nature are my friends🎉❤
Well I can’t say I didn’t do the same really. I feel fairly safe in the woods at night too as long as I don’t let my mind wander toward some of these tales. Lol. Thanks for sharing!
This is where Hillary got her start
Don't insult us like that😅
@SandySellards 🤣
One day a boy named Billy Harley was struck down by some teens on motorcycles. His father Ed Harley sought vengeance from witch from Eastern Kentucky named Haggis. She summoned a demon that hunted the teens down one by one. Ed would see these deaths in visions, and with each death the demon slowly absorbed Ed Harleys soul. He ended it by killing himself, and the demon along with it. Ed was buried under the old tree, and would become the next interration of the demon for when it is summoned again.
Hey that’s good. Thanks for sharing!
Goodness gracious pumpkinhead!!!!!!
ONE JUST MOVED TO PRATER CREEK IN FLOYD COUNTY, FACT
WHY ARE YOU YELLING!?
Scarier: dogman in Knott & Letcher Counties.
Evil is EVERYWHERE. Be true to our Lord Our Adonai. Be true to His son Yeshua/Jesus. The Holy Spirit is with us.
Y’all ruined the movie by making the music louder than the narrator
Sorry. I’m going to do a remake on several of my older videos to improve the audio.
Turn off the music
I’m rereleasing this story tomorrow with no music, added photos and a better narrator. I hope you’ll come back and watch it.
What's the matter?
Did I just commit secular heresy .
It’s all about exploring different perspectives! Don't worry too much-questioning is just part of the journey.
Eh the tail of the western tennessee witch is better
Tale. Witches don't have tails...
