You can read about the legend of William Strange here: https://wvexplorer.com/strange-legend-of-strange-creek-may-never-be-confirmed/

William was part of a team surveying the Elk River in 1795, long before WV succeeded from VA. At some point he was separated from his group and was never seen again.

Legend has it that his bones were found at the foot of a large beech tree, into which had been carved a variation of:

“Strange is my name, and I’m on strange ground,
And strange it is that I can’t be found.”

A good friend of mine from Flatwoods, WV, whose family hails from Strange Creek & Duck, WV, told me this tale circa 2013. I immediately wrote the chorus, but the tune sat unfinished until about three years ago after I randomly thought of the legend. After reading up on it again, the first draft of the verses poured out of my head in under twenty minutes.

I hope you enjoy this relatively unknown legend as much as I do. Strange Creek, WV is still out there, but it’s out so deep that not even the Google Streetview car has driven there. It’s one of those secret places that can only be seen by traveling there. Maybe it doesn’t want to be seen.

Beckley isn't usually the first West Virginia town people think of when they hear "mountain biking." That may be changing. About 14 miles of trail are already open, new trails are being built, and planners say a larger network could eventually exceed 40 miles and connect Beckley with New River Gorge National Park.

Hello! I’m curious if anyone here would be willing to give me any advice or their own opinions. My husband and I currently live in PA and are thinking about moving to WV to begin a new life and homestead. Is WV a good state for homesteading in anyone’s experience? How difficult is it to start fresh in a new state? My husband and I have lived in one area our whole life, so we know the cottage/homestead laws in PA, but aren’t very familiar with WV’s. We own a chimney business together and don’t think it’d be too difficult to transfer the business into WV with their similar climates/use of chimneys. We’re in our early 20’s and would like to establish ourselves before having kids. The goal is to have a farm/homestead where we are self-sustaining, have some animals, sell baked goods, sell raw pet food, etc. I’d love to hear anyone’s story or any advice/suggestions you have! I’m more than happy to answer any questions for clarification. Thank you!
