Do Hatfield and McCoy Ghosts Haunt this Earth?



Do Hatfield and McCoy ghosts haunt this earth? Pat and Rebecca explore one of the most famous American feuds. While we can’t know exactly how it started, we do know both families suffered at the hands of the other. Do the restless spirits of those family members involved in the feud exist?



Questions Explored in this Episode



What are the major events that represent this feud? Who were the Hatfields? Who were the McCoys? Why did they dislike each other so much to lead them to constantly fight and hurt each other? What happened with the pig lawsuit, the Logan Wildcats, the land lawsuit and the Paw Paw incident? Who were the “Romeo and Joliet” of the Hatfield and McCoys and what happened to them? What happened to Devil Anse Hatfield and Randolph McCoy? Where do people report seeing spirits? What paranormal evidence has been found? Are the areas of the feud haunted?
