The Woodcarver

The Talking Appalachian Podcast

What did you think of this episode?

The sisters remembered her "witchy" looking dolls, but they were forever haunted by that one day when the woodcarver's knife nearly took their mother's life.
In this episode, I retell a chilling story told to me by my great-grandmother and her sisters...one that has given me nightmares. But it's also a story about mental illness, and family, and how we reconsider stories passed down through time from 21st century perspectives. Later in the episode, I'm joined by my cousin, Dr. Angela Washington, as we examine this horror story once passed among the grandchildren, and consider what really might have happened and why.
