Ep 27 – The Witch, the Grave, the Fire, and the Chain: The Witch of Yazoo


Listen Later

Why did Yazoo City, Mississippi burn down in 1904? Locals say it was because of a witch's curse — and with good reason! According to legend, a sheriff chased the witch into quicksand, where she told him she would burn Yazoo City in twenty years. When she was buried, they placed a chain link fence around her grave to prevent her from completing the curse. But after the fire, the chains were broken. More about the witch, the grave, the fire, and the chain in this Mississippi folklore!

But first, Zoey talks about an island in Beaufort, South Carolina where humans are forbidden to go. Why? You won't guess correctly on the first try. Or the second, or third, or fourth. Maybe the 100th, but then you'd be like, "Whaaat?"
