The Night of the Haunted Graveyard Walk
A Tuscaloosa man and friend recount a moonlit walk beside Rose Hill and Crystal Spring that ends in a vision of a marching host of the dead. They fearfully witness a spectral reunion led by a graveyard captain, questioning whether what they saw was real or a dream amid a trembling conscience. An affidavit by A B Livingston attests to the tale.

Providence on His Side
Dialectal snippet shows an elderly speaker claiming providence aids him in a rough scene. The text notes survival and predicaments as a family falls ill and asserts luck in catching possums while weather shifts. No broader event or names present.
Belief in Luck and Unlucky Days Across History
The piece argues superstition shapes behavior with luck or misfortune. It cites Saul, Columbus, Plymouth Rock and Washington as examples of Friday events. It notes hotels avoid room numbers like 13, and some refuse to occupy 813 doors. It concludes that whether or not one believes, attitude and daily choices influence outcomes.
