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.
