Ghosts and a Rent Free House in a Southern Tale
In a vivid reminiscence by Ridney Austin Witherbee, Mose and a narrator inhabit a haunted house across from Lilly’s place. They witness spectral figures and hear gossip about Miss Charlitt and Prince Cholly, while Mose fears spirits and the narrator questions the hauntings. The narrator ends renting the house free for a year and keeping it six years, with Mose continuing to sleep across the street.
