Interesting People: Three women of Morgan County, Tennessee
'Old Biddy S': 1880's to 1950's? Biddy was not a term of endearment in Tennessee. "S", SUPPOSEDLY sold herself to ole' Scratch at Sunrise, milked ropes (stole milk from neighboring cows, not an uncommon theme in folklore), she was said to be able to walk through fire without harm, and on her 'deathbed' she screamed "I can see the fires of Hell around my bed". No white light tunnels, hmmm?
"G.D.", said she had visions of "Our Lord" and could hear him, audibly. Aware of the 'old signs'. Surrounded by Quails during the day, and just before familial deaths, screech owls. Foretold deaths, weather 'good' and 'bad', offered a membership in the 'Eastern Star'.
Unknown: 1970's, woman who lived on a hill within an apple orchard. Collector of many guns and knives and would show them proudly to 'apple-pickers'. Apples do not grow well in 'this' certain locale, but they did there? An extremely dark 'shadow' hung over the place and uneasiness was the only emotion felt. There were supposed 'burials' in the yard.
We won't clue you in about our affiliations. There were many here at one time: true faith healers, seers/sign watchers, granny-women (healers/midwives), 'charmers', witches...et cetera.
