Strange Tales of the American South

Stranger In The Church – Story Background

There are many old ghost stories in folklore about lost travelers running across haunted buildings while trying to make their way to their final destination. Of course, there were a lot more opportunities for this in the “old days” when folks didn’t have a GPS to guide their way! The idea of making the “ghost” a guilt-ridden, unwed mother wasn’t based on anybody in particular – just a way of adding a twist at the end.
