Most of the Appalachians is now located within the eastern part of the United States as runoff. Imagine how long it took for huge mountains to erode down and wash outwards into the ocean that distance.
And the Appalachians are still young compared to a few other mountain areas around the world.

How old is the Australian Great Dividing Range (which has been worn down quite low)
Ed. It’s not on the top ten. The Australian old ranges include the Pilbara

This sound like the opening of some eldritch horror novel.

There’s a Cypher System RPG called Old Gods of Appalachia that’s pretty neat too.

Also thematically related is The Twisted Ones by T Kingfisher, which itself is a reinterpretation of The White Ones by Arthur Machen (written in the late 1890s). Appalachia has been creeping people out for a long time!

To expand on this, being older than bones is why you can’t find animal fossils in the Appalachian mountains.
