The Disappearance of Polly Melton

from Appalachian Spooky Hour · host Sam Arthurs

In September of 1981, Polly Melton went on a hike with friends in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and simply disappeared. Did she get lost in the wilderness? Or did she simply seize the chance to leave her old life and walk away into a new one? Let's talk about i!Note: the first 4 minutes of the episode sound a bit strange, because the microphone volume was too loud. Stick with it, it repairs at just after the 4 minute mark. Also, you can hear the dog chowing down now and then. Sorry! I didn't realize she was being picked up!
