These Hills Have Lies

In the shadow of the Appalachian Mountains, stories don’t fade—they settle. These Hills Have Lies is a cinematic true crime podcast that digs into the buried history of small-town America, where violence, rumor, and memory intertwine. Each season uncovers real cases shaped not just by what happened, but by what people chose to believe—stories passed down like heirlooms, warped by fear, silence, and time. From unsolved murders and wrongful convictions to generational trauma and whispered legends, this series explores how communities respond when truth becomes inconvenient. Why do certain places seem to repeat the same tragedies? How does a lie take hold—and why does it refuse to die? Blending immersive storytelling, historical research, and haunting sound design, These Hills Have Lies isn’t just about crime. It’s about the aftermath. The echoes. The people forced to live in the shadow of what came before. Because in these hills, the truth
