Within Mississippi's bosom, sheltered by the meandering course of the Yazoo River, there exists a hamlet laden with an eerie narrative. Yazoo City, where antiquity dances with the mellifluous rhythm of southern charisma, harbors a haunting saga transmitted down the lineage. The witch's legend, an element of Yazoo lore, rose to prominence through Willie Morris' tome, "Good Old Boy," in 1971. Nevertheless, speculation abounds that the narrative and the sepulchre predate Morris' existence, and the broken fetters around the witch's grave have long been in that state. This isn't merely a tale; it is a chilling shadow that stretches over the city, a grim memento of an unforgotten epoch.
