Forget Arkham and Dogpatch, Yoknapatawpha County and Hooterville, forget what guidebooks might allege, because the weirdest town to be found in the Western Hemisphere is Redgunk, Mississippi. For over twenty years, author William Eakin has been spinning tales of this a backwater place, where strange encounters are more than local gossip and the kudzu hides all manner of creatures and adventures. Redgunk is a small town where visitors can pay a few cents to see real-life mummy behind the Corner Liquor Store and Gas for just 50 cents, or hear good ol' boys and girls talking about alien abductions and the sighting of mermaids and monsters.
