A young man is dead after a fiery car crash on a lonely Tennessee backroad.

The official story says it was an accident—but the evidence tells a different tale. His family swears he wasn’t alone. Witnesses contradict each other. And in the shadows of the Smoky Mountains, whispers of old folklore stir once more.

In this edition, you’ll sift through conflicting testimonies, hidden motives, and chilling legends to uncover the truth. Was it reckless driving, a family feud, or something not entirely human lurking in the dark?

Every lie hides a clue. Every story has holes. And the truth may be more dangerous than the legend.
