5 Appalachian Sounds The Old Folks Taught Me Never To Ignore (Old Mountain Lore)

📖 My 30-year ranger field guide is here: https://othocombs.site/ 5 Appalachian Sounds The Old Folks Taught Me Never To Ignore (Old Mountain Lore) The old people I grew up around in these mountains taught me five sounds you were supposed to get up out of your chair for. A whip-poor-will calling too close to the house. A screech owl from the porch tree. A dog howling at night — but only if you paid attention to which way it was facing. Ticking inside the walls of an old building. And the fifth one, which the old folks couldn’t even agree on, and which I’ve heard three times in a place it had no business being. Science caught up with four of them, at least partway. The fifth, nobody has explained to my satisfaction, and I’ve been looking for thirty years. I’ll tell you what I can explain. Then I’ll tell you what I can’t.
