Settle in for a juicy bushel of Peach State bafflement. Turn a metaphorical shovel of red Georgia clay to find a world teeming with inexplicable, head-scratching mystery. The legends here predate the state's founding by hundreds of years, when Native people settled in and began grappling with the land. Now treasure hunters ply Civil War sites for the Confederacy's lost treasure, spectral soldiers galloping nearby. Hairy beasts lope through dark woods, the night sky above bustling with disconcerting activity like the UFO once spotted by Jimmy Carter. In this Georgia, psychics help convict murderers. The super strict and thoroughly deceased former owner of Savannah's Telfair Museum punishes rule breakers, and a 10-foot 'squatch emits a pungent stench at Minnehaha Falls. Join folklorist Alan Brown on a jaunt through the most confounding elements of Georgia's long history.
