Strange Fruit #216: That Ghost Was Not A 'Mistress': If you're intrigued by the supernatural, or just like scary stories, a ghost tour can be a fun way to see a city and learn about its history. But ghost stories tend to be about people who experienced violence while they were alive, or had unfinished business that caused them to come back as a spirit. And we all know what group of people were historically subjected to violence in the American south. And that's how black trauma ends up repackaged as entertainment on southern ghost tours. Tiya Miles was visiting the Sorrel-Weed House in Savannah, Georgia, when guides presented the tale of Molly, who supposedly haunts the historic home. Molly was described as a "slave girl" who was the "mistress" of the home's patriarch, and was killed by his wife when she discovered their relationship. Not only is this a very real and very ugly historical phenomenon presented as entertainment, but the terminology implicates Molly in her own fate, wrongl by Strange Fruit

MW Harriet Tubman: Reach For The Stars To Change The World: Today’s episode is unlike most because you’ve almost 100% heard of our featured witch. But the Missing part of Missing Witches comes in many forms. In American history, Harriet Tubman’s story is oft told, a hero of civil rights, a literal trailblazer, railroad conductor, freedom fighter whose face was set to appear on the american twenty dollar bill, making her the only woman and the only black person to hold such a distinction. Monuments, schools, museums and libraries, even a U.S. military ship bear her name. So for sure I’d heard of Harriet Tubman. What I had not heard was that she was a Witch. The Missing part, for me, in Harriet’s story, is the Witch part. So we’ll be hitting some key biographical points, but today, we’ll mostly go looking for the Witch part we’ve been Missing. by Missing Witches
