Appalachia Outpost

Appalachia Outpost Ghost tours of Burnsville and beyond are available from May through October. Reservations required.

Remnants of the haunted, historic general store under the shadow of Mount Mitchell, destroyed during the thousand year flood that swept through the southern Appalachian Mountains during hurricane Helene. We specialize in gourmet provisions for Parkway picnics, gear for day hikes and exploration under the shadow of Mount Mitchell, locally made artwork and gifts, and all things paranormal, including haunted items and a cryptid museum.

One of the most gorgeous views in our region, visible when there’s a break in the rain….

This isn’t a regular post for us, but we felt compelled to let you know why PBS is so very important in our area. Thank you, Chad!

Congratulations on surviving an entire year with Charlotte. Fans, if you find yourself in Savannah, be sure to check out the Savannah Paranormal Museum. 💀🤍🩶🖤

Slowly, but surely Black Mountain Campground and trails around Mount Mitchell are opening back up after Hurricane Helene. There’s still a lot of debris, log jams, undercut banks, trail closures, and construction along Forest Service roadways so be sure to check before planning a hike in the area.

The flood sent giant boulders tumbling down the mountain, scoured the riverbed down to bedrock, and unearthed beautiful stones like the ones in this video. While it’s fine to look, please don’t stack rocks.

Also, remember to LEAVE NO TRACE by carrying out trash and p**p. There are no working restrooms in the area so go while you’re in town! Our ecosystem is damaged and fragile, so help us keep it clean. We appreciate tourists, but we don’t want your trash. If you pack it in or p**p it out, take it with you when you leave. Thanks!

💀🤍🩶🖤 The Howdy Doody doll, a surviver of the Hurricane Helene flood that destroyed Micaville, North Carolina now haunts the Savannah Paranormal Museum, and is featured in the New York Times! We are so proud that this extraordinary museum keeps several notoriously diabolical items from our collection on display.
