Curse of the Evil Witch of Yazoo City
In 1904, there was a fire that devastated Yazoo City, Mississippi. It is said that a hideous old woman who died in 1884 came back from the grave and caused the blaze. Her grave, surrounded by chain links, is located in Glenwood Cemetery. The city and its river were named after the Yazoo Indians, a tribe local to the region. There are those that aver that Yazoo means “death” in the long forgotten language. Could it be that Yazoo is Death City and its river is Death River, and could the witch have played a role in the fire?
