Haunted Plantations Ghosts of Slavery and Legends of the Cotton Kingdoms

Geordie Buxton, "Haunted Plantations: Ghosts of Slavery and Legends of the Cotton Kingdoms "
English | ISBN: 0738525014 | 2007 | 128 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
These stories and more are wrenched from the gravest parts of America's past-real lives of people on plantations from Savannah and the coast of the Carolinas.

A shackled West African tribe drags themselves off a
slave ship while singing, drowning in a Georgia creek to avoid being sold. Mysterious letters from a long-ruined church near Mepkin Abbey solicit a man to join faith. A French teacher disappears from a school after marking final exams in blood. An Egyptian mummy triggers a heart attack in a city museum. Most of these stories deal with the hub of the East Coast slave trade, Charleston, South Carolina. All are richly illustrated with both historic and contemporary images. Dwelling in the affairs of plantation life is to tread the fires of emotionally raw history. Sifting through the folklore and legends, the old hushed embers of the south ignite once again in this collection. While these stories relate encounters with the supernatural, readers will find that what actually happened here doesn't
always need a ghost to be disquieting.
