There’s an old Appalachian legend that Melungeons weren’t human at all—but genies. This myth didn’t come from magic. It came from fear, misunderstanding, and people who didn’t fit neat racial boxes. Melungeons were real families—Native, African, and European—who survived by staying hidden in the mountains. And when people don’t understand you long enough… they start calling you mythical. #Appalachia #AppalachianHistory #melungeon#HiddenHistory | The Melungeon Guy
