Featherston Place’s Glimmering Cameo | Campfire Tales

Southern Gothic ·

2025/10/20

In the heart of Holly Springs, Mississippi, an iron fence guards one of the town’s oldest homes — a stately white mansion built in 1837, known as Featherston Place. Its grand columns and sweeping porch have survived war, sickness, and time itself… but some say not everything inside ever moved on.

In October of 1849, Edgar Allan Poe was found delirious and dying in the streets of Baltimore — wearing another man’s clothes and unable to explain how he’d gotten there. Days later, his rival published a venomous obituary… and with it, Poe’s final poem, Annabel Lee — a haunting tale of forbidden love and loss “in a kingdom by the sea.”Over a century later, Charleston, South Carolina, would claim to know exactly who she was.

2025/10/06

In the winter of 1933, a revival took hold deep in the hills of Martin County, Kentucky. What began as a week of prayer and fasting soon slipped past the line between faith and fanaticism. Each night, hymns echoed through the holler—voices crying out in tongues, neighbors whispering that something wasn’t right.

2025/09/25

On April 4, 1841, President William Henry Harrison became the first U.S. president to die in office—just thirty-one days after his inauguration. For generations, the story was told the same way: an aging man caught in the cold, refusing a coat, delivering the longest inaugural address in history, and paying for it with his life. Pneumonia, they said, brought on by his pride.But the truth may be far more unsettling. Modern researchers argue Harrison’s death wasn’t a cautionary tale of hubris, but
