A legend long whispered in Memphis.

At Brinkley Female College, the ghost of a young woman named Lizzie was said to appear to students — and to tell them where a jar had been buried on the grounds.

The jar was found.

Its whereabouts today are unknown.

And still on the subject of the songs in South of Midnight, it's really great that they actually accompany the story and the actions. I don't remember seeing that in other games.

Et la version française est excellente !

South of Midnight completed! 😀

A great game with a beautiful story and endearing characters. All wrapped up in a wonderful atmosphere and superb music. The icing on the cake is the songs, some of which really moved me ❤️

The further I get in this game... ❤️

I'm trying not to rush through it so I can enjoy it for as long as possible.

(I've finished chapter 9)

Currently playing South of Midnight 🧵 🪡 🪄

Its originality reminds me of games like Psychonauts and American McGee's Alice. I'm totally charmed by the atmosphere, the music, the songs... ❤️

Fatwood, fat-lighter, is wood often from the longleaf pine. It is resin permeated heart-pine that is now rot-resistant, & quite flammable. My paternal Grandmother whispers to me of its uses from beyond the Veil. I Hear / See you Granny. #FolkWitch #SouthernFolklore #WitchSky

Okefenokee swamper, Tom Chesser, stated he unearthed 13 giant skeletons contained in a burial mound in the 1920s. SE Native Americans had tales of a giant race who lived in the swamp. What happened to the skeletons Tom found is unknown! (1/3) #SwampSunday #Okefenokee #SouthernFolklore

There is an old wives' tale that that if a "snapper" bites you, it won't let go till it hears thunder. I don't know about you, but this monster? I wouldn't want to test that tale to find out! #FolkloreThursday #SouthernFolklore

Born as an enslaved person, Georgia's Harriet Powers is one of the most famous African American folk quilters. Only two of her quilts remain: her Bible Quilt, and Pictorial Quilt. A tangible way of storytelling and sharing folklore! #SouthernFolklore
