The Moon Eyed People
from Lunatic Soup · host Megan Miller and Reyna Edmonds
In this episode of Lunatic Soup, we unravel the strange legend of the Moon-Eyed People, pale nocturnal beings said to have lived in Appalachia before European settlers. Were they ancient Welsh or European descendants, fae, aliens, or something more cryptid in nature? Known for avoiding sunlight, moving by moonlight, and sometimes causing mischief—or danger—these figures blur the line between folklore and the unexplained. From indigenous stories to paranormal theories, we explore who (or what) the Moon-Eyed People might have been.
