Legend of the Montmorenci pitcher and its chilling curse
A short tale set near Aiken South Carolina recounts how a lunch-hour pitcher, placed on a stone post at Montmorenci, survived a fatal lightning strike. Locals claim a strange repugnance guards the pitcher and deter any hand from lifting it. A boastful man who tries fails, leaving the object untouched for years as a village fearsome superstition. The piece also mentions influenza remedies and an observation on newspaper liner columns.
