Episode 03:The Ghost Who Played the Fiddle
Anne Chesky Smith is the executive director of the Western North Carolina Historical Association (WNCHA). The Western North Carolina Historical Association “celebrates the stories” that “define and shape” the mountains of western North Carolina. “Folklore and storytelling are a huge part of the local culture here and a way to pass down stories from generations,” said Chesky Smith. “It’s important to do so, from oral stories, community presentations, and even podcasts.”
Today, Anne shares a Father’s Day story about reconciliation and string music.
This episode is recommended for fans of ghost stories, haunted house stories, bed and breakfasts, Asheville, Appalachia, folklore, western North Carolina, Percey Shelley, forgiveness, and bluegrass music
