FOLKLORE A BIG PART OF APPALACHIAN CULTURE

FOLKLORE A BIG PART OF APPALACHIAN CULTURE
‘Mountain Haints’ Series Runs Through October
By: JENNIFER McDANIELS
Appalachian Journalist
 
(As Published In The Tri-City News)
(This is the introductory story of a series of ‘Mountain Haint’ stories that will be shared through the month of October in The Tri-City News.)
 
October winds blow leaves across Appalachian pathways that bring visitors wrapped in tightly knitted scarves and carrying with them a tale or two, and front porches throughout the mountains become the place where spooky stories are told. We might not see as much front-porch gathering in modern Appalachia as we used to, but the tradition of handing down stories that were told to us by our grandparents and great-grandparents still continues. There are even a few porches to this day filled with family and friends, hanging on every word as the storyteller recants a “Once Upon A Time” in the mysterious hollows of Harlan County, Kentucky.

The Manzo Shepherd Case
“Murder and Mayhem in Bloody Harlan”
Story by  Tony Felosi

The story of Manzo Shepherd and the events that spawned one of the most infamous trials in Harlan County history started on Black Mountain. At 4,145ft it is the tallest peak in Kentucky and one evening in late April 1942, was the location of a brutal murder.

Within one month of the murder of Joe Christian, a taxi cab driver, Shepherd  would be shot in a crowded courtroom of 300 people and his accomplices, Sherman Clouse and Howard Hensley, would both eventually get life sentences to avoid the death penalty.

Shepherd was killed By Jack Heaton nephew of the murder victim who within 9 months would be set free. Here is a short article describing the events in the courtroom when Shepherd was shot.
