## Resource

It only took us three years, but we finally got Lacey Williams on the show. Lacey is CWS founding member #001, an Appalachian folklorist, historian, cryptozoologist, speaker, author, and all-round powerhouse in the strange and unusual. In this Cult of Conspiracy edition, we talk about the darker side of Appalachian folklore, including Black Eyed Kids, the Hopkinsville Goblins, and of course, Mothman. It’s spooky, fascinating, a little scary, and exactly the kind of conversation we love having at Cryptid Women’s Society.
