Episode 60: The Boo Hag
Manage episode 403528662 series 3473822
In honor of Black history Month Felicia takes us to the low country to learn about a legend that comes from a community that is a part of her heritage.
The Gullah Geechee people have a rich history and culture that is still found in the low country today. These people are descendants of enslaved people who were brought to work the unique landscape of the area. The conditions of their enslavement allowed for them to keep some of their culture and language from their countries in Africa and lead to the culture and language that is still in the area today.
And from that culture comes the legend of a witch, vampire, evil spirit, creature that likes to draw the life force out of their victims, and will sometimes even ride them like a horse for the night. The legend of the boo hag has even lead to a unique custom in some communities to ward off the evil spirits.
