There’s something about the Indigo Girls. On the scene since the late ‘80s, they’ve racked up quite an impressive lists of record sales and music awards. NPR would argue they’re one of the best fold duos on time, but they’re a lot more than that, too.

Of the many fascinating aspects of Appalachia, the people are perhaps the most interesting. A strange marriage of diversities and commonalities, every hill and holler (get it?) has its own special people and places. Appalachia is represented in tonnes of films, even if just incidentally.

Looking for a fun way to kick off the pumpkin-spice-latte-and-ghosts-and-stuff season? The Hills Have Eyes is always a good choice for movie night. But if you’re looking to get out of the house and go somewhere that’s just naturally creepy, The Ridges is where it’s at. And this year on 23 September, you can find a very unique and supernaturally-inclined arts fair there – The Hill Has Eyes Paranormal Psychic Fair.
