    The White-Caps of Sevierville

    We’re in Appalachia this Spooky Saturday -specifically Sevierville, Tennessee, home of Dolly Parton and one of East Tennessee’s darkest true stories: the White Caps. In the 1890s, this masked vigilante group terrorized Sevier County in the name of “morality,” using threats, beatings, and intimidation. What started as moral policing quickly escalated into murder, trials, and a public hanging. This is the true story of how it all unraveled.
