Brown\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKentucky is known primarily for horse racing, bourbon and fried chicken, but the \"Dark and Bloody Ground\" has a mysterious side as well. Kentuckians talk about their own \"Hillbilly Beast,\" believed to have frightened campers at Mammoth Cave National Park. The gnarled and twisted Witches' Tree is a favorite on Louisville ghost tours. Kentucky's UFO incidents--like Thomas Mantell's mysterious plane crash, the Hopkinsville alien attack and the Paintsville train-UFO crash--are as puzzling and frightening now as they were when they happened. Folklore writer Alan Brown chronicles these strange stories and others that are very much a part of the unique culture of Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Brown teaches English at the University of West Alabama in Livingston, Alabama. A transplanted Yankee from Alton, Illinois, Alan has written primarily about southern ghost lore, a passion that his taken him to haunted places throughout the entire Deep South, as well as parts of the Midwest and the Southwest. As a rule, his wife, Marilyn, accompanies him on these trips and occasionally serves as his \"ghost magnet\" when they spend the night at haunted hotels and bed-and-breakfasts. Some of her encounters with the spirit world have been incorporated in a number of Alan's books. In 2018, Alan decided to explore another abiding interest of his--mysteries and legends--in books like \u003ci\u003eEerie Alabama\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Unexplained South\u003c\/i\u003e.
