OK - spooky.....
In Coweta County Ga, a woman named Mahelia(sp?) was a known psychic. She told everything in rhyme. The movie "Murder in Coweta County" was about her.
An elderly man I knew told me that when he was younger, he had a bird dog that he truly prized. She disappeared one day and he spent several days searching for her. He finally went to see Mahelia. She told him exactly where the dog was. She told him to ask the man, but to go around back to the barn, that the dog was tied up behind the building. He did, and found the dog I don't remember the rhyme, but that's how she told it.
She became famous because of the murder in the county she lived in. A man whose last name was Turner disappeared and even the sheriff there went to talk to her to find out what happened. She told him where to find the body. It had been burned and the remains scattered.
If you ever get a chance to rent the movie, it happened exactly the way she said and involved "high society" people of that time period. (Early 20th century) It's name is "Murder in Coweta County" starring Johnny Cash's wife as Mahelia.
There's also a hugh house in Carrollton, Ga that's on one of the main streets. Thru the years, it's been a private residence, a "head shop", a clothing store, and most recently a restaurant. The owners have many times seen an elderly woman in 19th century clothing walking around and heard her overhead in the upstairs area. They said she was clearly visible and nodded to them. |
