Lanterns&Lore

05/18/2026

After filming our first episode last year, we stepped back and asked ourselves where we wanted this journey to lead. We listened. We took notes. We explored the direction that felt true to the stories we want to tell…. And now it’s time to go bigger. Every place has a story. Some are written in history. Some live in legend. Some refuse to stay buried. This season we’re following forgotten history, legends, mysteries, strange encounters, folklore, unexplained events, and stories hidden beneath the surface. The trailer is here. Legends live where the lanterns glow.

Welcome to the debut episode of Lanterns & Lore — the immersive storytelling podcast where forgotten history meets chilling folklore, and every tale is told on-location where it really happened.

📍 Filmed in Erwin, Tennessee, this episode takes you to The Devil’s Looking Glass — a towering cliff face where echoes don’t always come back the same, and mist rolls in without warning.

🕯️ In Episode 1, we uncover:

🌫️ The Witch of the Nolichucky — said to whisper from the river’s edge, luring the lost into a trance with the words: “Don’t be afraid… I won’t hurt you.”
💔 The Lovers' Leap — a tragic legend of heartbreak and loss, still heard in the wind on quiet nights.
👁️ A brief mention of the Shadow Rider, a silent, dark figure some claim appears before misfortune strikes… But is he a warning, or part of something more?
✨ Locals say: “If you hear your name whispered back… it’s already too late.”

This isn’t just folklore — it’s the soul of Erwin, Jonesborough, Elizabethton, and the hills that hold their secrets.
