Fog can give our beautiful hills, mountains, rivers, and valleys a somewhat eerie look in Kentucky, regardless of season. Winter, summer, spring or fall, when the fog creeps in, the beauty becomes somewhat mystifying. Fog has been the center of a few movies in which things got a bit out of hand, so people can be slightly spooked when it envelopes them. Realistically, it does get pretty thick and hard to see through.

Here are 12 eerie photographs of fog rolling through Kentucky:
