I actually am from VA... well I do have a story.. My Mama was taking the cap off a radiator in the car to put water in... she thought it was getting a little hot but apparently it was way hotter than anyone knew cuz it blew and scalded her arm and hand . It was a really awful burn and we took her to the hospital... well they treated her and after so long we brought her home.. That pain medicine wore off and the amount of pain she was in was devastating..it got so bad she could do nothing but scream and cry..no medicine helped nothing!!! My uncle said he knew a Man that can take the fire out of her burn...he went and got the Man cuz nothing else helped.. That Man came and he told us we can stay in the room or not just stay quiet...he held her hand and was saying stuff noone could understand but as soon as he finished she stopped crying and said she could not even feel it anymore.. .. he said he was the 7th son of the seventh son!!! As I'm typing this you just said something about the Man that can do that.. OMG I am in shock!!!!

[@JaredKingTV]

Oh that was wild how I said that as you were typing!! Yep a lot of the old timers was amazing at doing that!! Also thank you so much for sharing that amazing memory and for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@robsim4692]

Yeah, that man had oxycontin or Dilaudid and was a fan of Iron Maiden! The bigger question is who takes the radiator cap off a running vehicle without using a towel or rag? Only someone who has no business doing so Unless the whole goal was to be burned to justify a visit from the witch doctor feel good without being judged by family members! Was the Witch doctor's name Rat tailed Jimmy and he drove a 65 Chevy with primered flames and Got a cozy little job selling the Mexican mob Packages of candy cane. He sells sugar to the sweet, which is why he's called Dr. Feelgood, oh yeah!

Wonderful stories, I had an old black man rub a seed wart on my finger it stayed sore and painful. I had it for years, after he rubbed it n whisper some words i waited a few weeks thinking it's not gonna work. And one day it was just poof gone. I know it's not a big thing, but that wart drove me crazy, and hurt.

[@dreamweaver662]

[@AmericanWireman]

I had an abusive stepfather, and My grandma on my father's side used to tell me she was "granny good witch" and she would always protect me, she even did a little protection spell, I didn't take it very seriously but as a grown man I've dodged death so many times, and gotten out of so many sketchy situations, like I had a guardian angel with me

I'm of Irish descent & we have a lot of stories, a lot on the same order as you mountain folk. I could listen to you tell these stories forever. You have the right way about you & the right voice for it. Thank you. I really enjoy your story telling. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JaredKingTV]

Howdy Vicky! Thank you so so much for watching, enjoying and the kind words. Well what's interesting about that is some of the EARLIEST settlers in Appalachia were Irish! 😃 I myself have Irish blood from my ancestors. Neat huh! God bless and have a good'n 🙏💙

[@terrymartin184]

My Daddys Mom was from Ireland, red hair, green eyes, and my Daddy was only boy Had 3 sisters...Dad was an infant and doctor told my Grandmother he wasn't going to live. Well, Annie and a black lady got together, took goats milk, herbs and roots my Grandmother had and in summation brewed up milk with the additives of roots and herbs then fed it to daddy in a bottle and he lived. Word has it my Grandmother was tagged as a witch. She was dying with cancer and she put a curse on my Grandfather who was Cherokee and Irish, the curse was called the Rollers...basically he would never be able to live anywhere long and never be happy....he died like that...state to state, city to city. NOW, I don't know if she was actually a witch or just used mountain remedies and the power of suggestion. Several family members confessed she was a witch but not sure if white witch or black witch. Here's why, Daddy brought her back a ring from overseas and after I was born, she had her adult kids together and put the ring in a box and it was to be given to me when I was 16....one of the daughters had the ring. My Daddy got killed when I was 16 and after the service Mom asked about the ring. That caused a stir...Elizabeth had the ring, Viola wanted it for her daughter. So, Elizabeth got it and warned they weren't supposed to open it. Well, Viola opened it, the ring was there, she picked it up and it crumbled...a 14k gold and ruby. Elizabeth stated she was expecting worse bc her mama put a curse on it in case anybody opened it but me! So, you figure it out. My Daddys parents were share croppers.

[@jturtle5318]

One of a witch's most disturbing powers for many people is their refusal to gossip about the neighbors.

[@JaredKingTV]

Hey thank you so so much for watching! Yep.. VERY true! God bless and have a good'n

[@nubonewales7689]

So true. Thanks for mentioning that. My Nana for e.g. Never gossiped. No witch but healing powers and second sight.

[@MrAbelone]

Raised in N MS but we all had people like this around. Like my great uncle was the 7th son, I had to drink water from his boot one time for strep throat. It worked. If you got burned he could read a Bible verse and slap the burn out of you with it. And we other friends/family that all had things like this we went to them for. Watched my grandpa Devine for a well. He walked around a couple hours in the morning, laid some sticks around certain places. Did it again little later and picked a spot on a hillside. We drew water from there until they passed away. They never even entertained it was something evil. They gave all praise to the Good Lord for those gifts.

[@JaredKingTV]

Amen to that brother! Thank you so much for watching and sharing that amazing family history. Yeah it's unreal how folks thinks it's from evil even when us ole healers use a Bible verse. Thanks again brother. God bless and have a good'n

[@sasha219]

I grew up in the foothills of the Appalachians. My mother is Native American and my father is of German/Scottish decent. My maternal grandmother had the gift of "dreamin" as she called it. She knew when someone in the family was pregnant and when there would be a coming tragedy. So if she started talking about having dreams of fish or fishing all the females would go take a test if it were possible they were pregnant. Lol...my gma was right 100% of the time. Her husband's (my gpa) mother was a healer and he somewhat was too. He was best known to be able to see plainly in the dark. He would never use flashlights or drive at night because the light would hurt his eyes. Nights during the new moon was his favorite time to go for a walk in the woods behind his house. During the summer I would go with him on these walks. In the beginning I had to hold a strap from his overalls to even walk. I told him that I was going to have to start bringing a light with us. He looked at me but i could tell his thoughts were a million miles away. He didn't say a word and started gathering wood for a fire. He lit the fire and told me to sit with my back to him but facing the fire. I did so. I could hear the click of him opening his pocket knife. He told me to close my eyes and say aloud "Night to day" 3 times. He took his finger and smeared something on both my eyelids and said something in his native tongue. He placed his hand over my still closed eyes and blew smoke in my face 3 times. Long story short 3 nights from that night on, and to this day, I can still see perfectly at night. Though it does hurt to drive at night...lol

[@JaredKingTV]

Hi Sasha*! Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoyed it. Wow that's amazing, I've heard stories about dreamer's and ones that could see in the dark but only met like 2 of each in my whole life. There rare! But, man what an amazing memory. Thank you so much for sharing that with me! They both seem like they were amazing folk's. It definitely would've been an honor to have known them. Thanks again. God bless and have a good'n!

[@katrinasmith6280]

Would continue to be ticketed. And I was. I was in my teens 18 or 19 judge musta had some seeing abilities cause he thought it was a joke and said miss might be they invent a self driving care and none of us will need lights till then cut em. Now look! They have but I wont never afford one.

[@theemeraldfox7779]

I can attest to that luv,I'm Choctaw and Irish,I've had the ability to see perfectly in the dark,I walk my wooded property at night all the time,never needed any kind of light.

Half my family is from Kentucky the other West Virginia. I really love these stories, it's like listening to an uncle tell how my kin lived. I appreciate this content completely, makes me feel closer to my roots. God bless ya for this. Witches are usually depicted as evil. They are just people with ancient knowledge that know how to use it. We are forgetting valuable knowledge that we should never forget because it could save our lives.

[@JaredKingTV]

Yep they absolutely are! Thank you so so much for watching, enjoying and the kind words. God bless and have a good'n!

[@angie4jesusangie4jesus97]

They say there is good and bad in everything. Even witches. What does the Bible say about them??? There are some that worship the devil.

[@LavenderApogee]

The first thought that came to mind when you talked about the ''witch'' bringing milk to the girl and her granny was that she was doing them a kindness when no one else did. Love your story telling.

Yeah sometimes you really gotta watch. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!

[@pattibrodie7608]

I just wanted to thank you for this. I’m from West Virginia but I live in California now due to health reasons. I was feeling incredibly home sick and depressed this morning. Times are hard right now, my 15 year old dog died recently and I miss her terribly, not really able to pay all my bills this month, kids are busy with their own lives…you know just life happening, nothing really bad,my health is good, got plenty of food, plenty to be grateful for, just having a hard day ya know. And all of a sudden your video comes up, wasn’t watching anything about witches or back home recently…must have been sent by the hand of God to me, but just hearing your voice, ya know, the way we talk, our words, has made me feel so much better this morning! So Thank you, and I enjoyed the stories too!😊

[@JaredKingTV]

Well Patti I believe it was too. Definitely got you in my prayers that things eases up soon sister 🙏💙 Yeah these old mountains will make ya homesick that's for sure. So so glad this gave you a sense of home. God bless and have a good'n

[@lillidean8374]

Same wasn’t looking for anything particular and these stories came up. Firsts thing I’m thinking of was granny and her stories on her back porch. Being that she was from W Virginia she always told us not to leave the porch after dark by ourselves after dark there were boggies out past the property.

[@rebeccawood7350]

I’m glad to see you have an open mind towards the fact that maybe they mistook the intentions of the witches of Appalachia.💜

[@JaredKingTV]

Yessum, I feel folks misunderstood a whole lot of them back then. Not to mention I reckon folks have the right to believe or practice whatever they want to just like everyone else. Thank you so much for watching. Have a good'n 😁💙

[@ChristinaFromYoutube]

There were always 2 kinds of witches. My great grandmother can tell you about her mother who would do awful things and gloried in being evil. She was the absolute opposite of a healer. You'd feel like you were dying of the flu to spend any time alone with her.

[@ChristinaFromYoutube]

For example she had an unreasonable amount of children die. Even for the era. She was killing them to hoodoo with blood and bones. That's my Grannys word on what happened to them.

[@greyceeb7304]

Wonderful storytelling. I worked for a little woman years ago who was what we mountain people called a faith healer. She used passages from the Bible to cure and heal a number of things. She was an awesome lady and I miss her greatly but she passed on several years back now but I’ll always be thankful for getting to know her and spend so much time with her. Thanks for sharing such wonderful stories with us. Take care everyone 👋🏻

Hey greycee!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing that amazing memory. She definitely sounds like she was an amazing lady. It's definitely a blessing knowing good folks like that.

[@sherrymacdonald4884]

My grandmother once said I carried a family curse and that I would know what it was when I came of age. It's not a curse, it's a blessing: I'm a healer, for the most part. One thing I never tell anyone is that I can smell death on a person. Once I smell it, it usually happens with a few days. I can put my hand on a pregnant belly and tell what she's having. I think I got that one from my aunt. I wasn't raised in the education of herbs, though. I know that old man's beard is good for arthritis, but I can't find it anywhere. I discovered that I came from a long line of healers. I'm in southern WV. I used to be able to put my hands on an injury and take the pain into myself.

[@JaredKingTV]

Now that's some mountain history right there!! Thank you so much for sharing that Sherry. God bless you 🙏

So can you cure someone of maybe, modern meds can not🤔👍💞

@@keljaxx with certain herbs, yes. Mullein is good for the lungs. You can dry the leaves and brew a tea with them. You can actually use the the flowers in the tea, too. It clears inflammation and congestion from the lungs. Jewel weed can be steeped in coconut oil and used to kill poison ivy. If you don't wanna go through all that, just crush it and rub the juice on the rash.

[@brendamcmillen9215]

Jared, I loved the stories you told, I believe in the mountain ways.. I had an aunt by marriage that could stop bleeding and actually removed a seed wart from my chin as a child.. I used to have severe nose bleeds, my mother always called my aunt to come and she would say a few words over me and read a verse from the Bible and my nose would stop bleeding, if she wasn’t available, my mother would have to take me to the small clinic in town and the Drs would pack my nose to stop it.. so, I am a believer.. thanks for sharing..

[@JaredKingTV]

Thank you so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah, that verse is "And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood I said unto thee , when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee When thou wast in thy blood, Live." Some folks don't believe anymore sadly but you're right it's very true! Thank you for sharing that story with me! Stay awesome and God bless!

[@keithlilly6242]

You believe in the power of the lord healing? Many places outside of Appalachian believe the same. Sucks there isn’t any actual proof of anything significant being cured by them or it might be more believable. All we have are stories and not many of those. Makes for great storytelling tho as this was a well told story.

[@aliciabrewer9444]

I had an aunt like that, as a child I was always so amazed by the things she could do. Whether it be saying a prayer over us when we needed it from getting hurt or reading a scripture from the Bible to run an evil spirit out of our house. She had the gift…🙂

The "verse on paper" Each week, a Bible verse was written on little strips of paper. To carry to memorize. I would not be surprised if connected.

My great grandmother was often called upon to rid people of "unwanted guests" in their homes. She was married to a hardshell baptist preacher. She was from West Virginia. The mountains feel like home to me even though I didn't live there. Our family farm in WV was sold a few years ago, but I always felt I belonged there.

I just found your channel and I love it. I'm from Tennessee but I'm not from the appalachia's. I'm from a place called Short Mountain. Scientist believe that they were at one time the foothills of the appalachia's but broke off. But many of your stories made me reminisce about my granny. If I didn't witness this myself I would have never believed it. She told my aunt that it was time to ween her son from the bottle. She said that the moon and the stars where lined up right. She told her not to give him a bottle that night. I will have you know that child never touched another bottle after that. He drank from a cup. She said she did that with all of us. She also had the ability to if a person was a good or bad. She would say something like "I like this person, I got a good feeling about them," or she would say, "I don't like this person, something about them don't feel right." And dang wouldn't she be spot on. I seem to have some of this ability myself. And trust me it has served me well.

[@JaredKingTV]

Howdy Tracy!! So glad you're enjoying my channel! Well even if it ain't Appalachian you're still mountain and from the ole ways!! And that's basically the same thing. She sounds like she was an amazing lady! Thank you so so much for watching. Have a good'n

People in my family keep camphor blocks in water in the fridge and then we take a little and put in on a clean rag. Helps with eye pain and also good for cuts and scrapes and helps stop bleeding. Good for muscle soreness as well. Also good to help open you up when you can't breath. If she's have any eye pain that might help. They use to sell it at the store but now days I get it off Amazon. I'll be praying for your momma. The greatest healer is God himself and prayer works miracles.

And JESUS said the we could do what HE did and greater. We have used the scripture about blood many times. And we too have healers as you call them. I knew two people in my life that could heal trash. Just by blowing in the sick one's mouth. They never would let anyone see them do it. And I was always told growing up that they never knew their fathers. Not sure what that has to do with anything but I was always told that.

Part Scottish here. My dads dad, my pappaw traced his lineage back to Scotland then visited twice tracing it as far as he could. Unfortunately, my dad got his documents and I’ve never seen them. He did bring back a copy of our crest and plaid. I’ve ALWAYS loved plaid! Even as a kid. Now I know why. 😂 Our last name is Livingston. I’d love to know if it’s a name that’s thought of as honorable or if it has any negative ties to it.

Me too Angel. I am a healer/energy worker. I don't like being called a witch either, for the same reason. Blessings to you.

[@insignificant4264]

That title really is not really appropriate I agree but to be honest neither is yours. . They have always been spiritual or faith healers because they used God's word to heal . While energy work is also a very good thing spiritual healing / faith healing has been documented from the time Jesus walked the earth. It's not about energy it's about Faith.

You should feel right at home! Because most of these old mountain folk came from the UK and Germany. And they brought centuries of old world culture with them. A lot of the mountain folk in Boone and Asheville NC, are direct descendants of Scottish, Irish and German immigrants dating back to the late 17th century. Here in Boone North Carolina, we still have the Highland Games every year, where Scottish and Irish families who date back some 200 years compete in the old world tradition and events. And yes, if you know who to ask, you can still get a bit of homemade Scottish Whiskey 🥃 😂

My daddy’s family are mostly from bell county ( Ky) and Lee county( Va). I grew up hearing about how when daddy was younger he got real sick. Bedridden for almost a yr. Countless doctors, specialists and nobody could figure out what was wrong with him. A witch told my granny Pea Eyes that a hex had been put on him and told her what herbs and roots to gather and how to prepare and give to him. She did as she was told and he got better. So yrs later i guess the old witch would have spells , during which she wouldn’t keep her clothes on, wouldn’t know to fix herself food , so my granny would go up the mountain and take care of her until the spell passed. Everyone else was afraid of her. Now my mommy born and bred in the north never heard of such things. But one of her first times down home with daddy she met my granny and the witch. Told me pictures would raise up on the witches body like tattoos. Had she not seen for herself she would not have ever believed it.

@@JaredKingTV My imaginative soul is the kind that puts me into pictures I see, stories I read, and even the music I hear. So I can get lost in most anything when I do things, and hear things. But It is really hard to gather thoughts and pictures in my mind from words when I am not seeing them. Too often, we as people, can get lost in a shuffle of rushing and forget that words are descriptive, they are made to stir emotions with explanations, and imprint images in our minds like photo albums. So when someone can read to me and build the setting up in my mind the way I would if i were reading it myself, is a rarity. You have a great talent for it, keep it going! There are more minds out there than we can imagine that need a little bit of color in their vocab! Thanks again!

Thank you for the stories, that’s a real treasure. My great grandmother was a traditional German witch, and taught me a lot. When I was younger. My mother was a spiritualist to. I had a lot of Native American shaman friends. There were things that I could not explain and I am very skeptical. I have to see it to believe it, and I have to test it out and make sure these things aren’t just a trick of the mind sleight-of-hand suggestion And a few times I had absolutely no explanation for some things the way they happened things that should not have been possible so while I hold onto my Christian beliefs today, not really a believer in bells and curses I do believe in the possibility I have an open mind, and hearing those stories is great thanks again.

I have heard so many old tales that I thought were pretty much gone now with the younger generation but I'm glad you are sharing yours and that does keep it alive. I was one who loved to sit and listen to old folks lives, true "Haint" tales, my families personal involvements in the history of this country. My great grandpa was named Jasper and my 1st cousin was named after him. They tended to pass names down and many were named from people in the Bible. Like the way you tell those stories. I know a few witch stories.. one my great grandpa was involved in. I guess you'd say he was one of those "Good Witch Men." And I have two more ancestors that were believed by others and the family to be witches. My mom's dad use to talk about the 7th son and their ability to "Blow Out Fire." He fell from a barn loft and his neighbors daughter got down and said that verse in the Bible and the blood stopped coming from his nose. I was shown a verse in there folks can say but they must say it all in one breath out to stop the pain of burns. I just subscribed. Would love to hear more. Thank you

But all and all, I didn't even feel the heat from the fire! I figure from seeing the Indigenous people walk and kick and eat fire 🤔😉, I had NO problem! I could do it too, with the right mind-set!

I’m also thankful that I’m still living in the same holler on the same land that my family passed down five generations that I can trace back. I plan to keep passing this land down.

I listen to your stories every night before I go to bed. They are so fascinating and soothing. They make me feel connected to my dad’s ancestors who were from Tennessee and Kentucky before they came to Michigan. These stories need to be shared and told from generation to generation. God bless you!!!

[@JaredKingTV]

Loooord bless your heart 💙🙏 thank you so so much for watching and enjoying. Yeah I absolutely agree. So many of the old ways, beliefs and traditions are sadly being forgotten to time more and more every day. Thank you so much for sharing that amazing family history with me. God bless and have a good'n 🙏

I absolutely love these stories. My family is from Lawrence county Kentucky and story telling is something we’ve always done. We go back to the 1800’s and our holler is still there to this very day. Reminds me of home. 💕

[@natashafaulkner666]

I'm from Southern Oklahoma I come from a long line of healers. Around here they call us witches. And it all depends on whether you want to be good or whether you want to be bad. I believe in a lot of things. But I believe everybody has an ability a gift. Some are more sensitive than others. Sometimes it can be a curse and a gift. I really enjoyed your story. It made me feel at home

[@JaredKingTV]

Absolutely!!! Well said and perfectly worded!!! 😀💙

[@justincollins1138]

Hi there deary. I greatly appreciate your stories, and the style that you share them in. If you haven't been told the cold milk is actually called witches cream and it will keep for many days. My great grandmother was a traditional witch and would prepare fresh milk that never had to be refrigerated it would just stay cold once she cast her spell. It was never meant to do any harm, just help.

[@JaredKingTV]

HIDEY 👋😃. Oh neat! Thank you so much for sharing that. I never knew that. Thank you so much for watching. Have a good'n!

[@NikiLivi5]

I’d love to know what those old timers thought it was. Any idea how she made it stay cold? Was it really milk? So interesting!

[@leslietoo]

Incredibly enjoyable. I am fascinated by the mountain culture you describe. I just finished reading Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck which is about the "Oakies" that came to California during the Depression. I think the old woman at the end was trying to help. I am fascinated. Thank you. Can't wait for the next story.

[@JaredKingTV]

Howdy Leslie! That is a mighty good book!! I read it a long time ago but still remember a good bit of it and I believe you're right. So glad you enjoyed this and here's a link to all my stories if you'd like to see more! God bless and have a good'n kzbin.info/aero/PL6s0NOeEGXUXLmgrAgt6nxlB1HwRhfmG5&si=MFrybEEt0ZhRpYDf

I could listen to you speak all day long.

[@JaredKingTV]

Hi Austin! Thank ya kindly for watchin and the kind words 🙏 Welcome to the channel and the family. Have a good'n

[@UnseelieRose]

I really enjoy listening to your videos on Appalachian folklore and I'm fascinated by the stories you've collected. Thank you for sharing them! Of course, it's always sad to hear about people assuming that magical practitioners are evil and frightening, (and you're right that most simply want to live in peace,) but unfortunately that's the way far too many people thought back then. However, these stories were still fun to listen to, and I took the sad bits in the spirit they were intended, much like I do Halloween witch decorations. I'm looking forward to listening to more of your videos about Appalachian folklore. Oh, and I'm fairly certain you were right about the milk, by the way. I think it's far more probable that it had a cooling spell on it and that it was the metals in the penny that caused that reaction. (After all, magical energy is still energy and copper is conductive.) I think that the witch was simply trying to help.

[@JaredKingTV]

Thank you so much for watching and so glad you enjoy these ole stories handed down. You're probably right about the penny and I definitely agree about how sad it was folks couldn't just live and let live back then even if they was just trying to help. I'm uploading another witch video soon where I actually speak about that a minute lol. Thanks again so much for watching. Stay awesome Rose!!

[@UnseelieRose]

@@JaredKingTV Thank you! I look forward to the new video! I love all of these Appalachian folktales, and can't wait to introduce my mother, who grew up in the Middle Valley region of Tennessee, to your channel. I play to do that the next time I spend an evening on her front porch with her. I know she'll love these stories as much as I do!
