Haunted Morrison Place and the Phantom Race Tale
A Philadelphia Herold reprint tells of three phantom riders at the Morrison plantation in Harnait county North Carolina. The haunted scene centers on a long lane to the mansion where ghostly riders chase through magnolia and cedar shadows ending in tragedy at an ancient oak. The Morrison heir Carroll Morrison cruelly mistreated slaves, and a rival lover attempted rescue leading to a fatal pursuit and a lawsuit that drove tenants away, sealing the house as haunted for years. The tale blends real cruelty with supernatural legend, preserving the place as a eerie memory of a vanished era.
