Tales & Folklore of Scott County
If you have an older family member who likes to tell old tales
every once and a while, folklore is probably a familiar part of your
life. The elders of our society have tried to keep the age-old stories
they learned from their parents and grandparents alive. This
article retells a number of old folklore stories included the belief in
witches, ghosts, premonitions, good and bad omens, and the
supernatural. This article was to have been included as a part of
FNB Chronicle, Spring 2004, Vol 15, No 3. The article was mistakenly
omitted by the Independent Herald, and is printed here in its
entirety.
