Halloween is quickly approaching.  Our main focus of this episode is some of the creatures (monsters) that have become part of our state's folklore.  We will not only talk about these creatures but also share where they were spotted in case you would like to visit the area yourself.  Also included is the number 1 haunted location in our state to visit along with a list of other spooky places in our great state.  We hope you enjoy this lighthearted episode as much as we did.<a href="https://www.paypal.me/westvirginiatalk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Support the
