#99 - Outlaw Bikers of Appalachia

In this episode, It’s Cryptic Out There rides into the shadowed highways of Appalachia to explore one of America’s most notorious outlaw biker clubs—the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club. Founded in the late 1950s, the Pagans carved their way into history with a strict, often brutal code that governs loyalty, secrecy, and brotherhood. But in the rugged, tight-knit communities of Appalachia, that code takes on a unique life of its own. We uncover how the club’s presence blends into the region’s culture of independence, resilience, and mistrust of outsiders—while also examining the myths, the crimes, and the rituals that keep the Pagan name feared and respected. From their biker “colors” to their rules about loyalty, retribution, and respect, this is an unflinching look at the world of an outlaw MC where the mountains hide more than just winding [email protected] Hotline: (615) 447-8258
