Description

Think the Tri-Cities are quiet today? Think again. Beneath the calm lies a past steeped in the bizarre, the macabre, and the downright unbelievable.

Bizarre Tri-Cities cracks open the forgotten files of Southwestern Virginia and Northeastern Tennessee—nine counties’ worth of strange happenings, unsolved mysteries, legendary eccentrics, and twisted tales you won’t find in your average history book.

Inside these pages, you’ll discover:

• A mystic who tried to rebuild Solomon’s Temple—without a single nail
• A deadly, vanishing plague that swept through the hills
• The mild-mannered locksmith who set his sights on reshaping the automotive world
• The executed man who died once… and lived again to strike it rich
• And the industrialist found dead at Mardi Gras, in a scandal no one wanted to explain

From ghost stories and murder confessions to meteorites and legendary hoaxes, Bizarre Tri-Cities is your backstage pass to a region whose past is anything but predictable.

Curious yet? You should be. History doesn’t just live here… it haunts.
