Teaser | The Raven Mocker: Appalachian Legend of the Soul-Stealing Witch

Send us a text

In the Appalachian shadows, some names are never spoken aloud.

Feared even among witches, the Raven Mocker is said to appear at the edge of death—stealing the soul as the final breath escapes.

This is more than folklore. It’s a warning.

Next week, we explore one of the most terrifying figures in Cherokee legend—and the silence it leaves behind.
