Watching for the blooms on the Dogwoods isn't just about the view, it's a foretoken! Once those white petals fall, the 'Little Winters' are over and the garden is safe. #FolkloreThursday #SouthernFolklore
They say the Devil once built a mansion in the middle of old New Orleans.
And some say he never left.

Illustration showing the southern folkloric tradition of a "Foundation Egg".
In Coastal Georgia, we don't just build on sand — we build on faith. 🥚⚓️ Old lore says burying a "foundation egg" under your threshold ensures the kitchen fire never goes out and the pantry stays full. A little secret for a house that stays blessed. #WyrdWednesday #CoastalGeorgia #SouthernFolklore
“Martha… where’s my ring?”
A stolen ring.
A voice in the dark.
A question that won’t go away.

A ghostly woman wearing a light headwrap stands before an old Southern plantation house at twilight. Her skin appears pale and statue-like. She wears a tan shirt that reads “Paranormal Field Guide: Chloe the Killer – Myrtles Plantation, St. Francisville, Louisiana.” The house glows faintly behind her. The Monster & Myth logo appears in the corner.
The Myrtles Plantation whispers her name.
Chloe the Killer — servant, victim, ghost.
Some legends fade. Hers lingers.

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 !

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 ❤️

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... ❤️

A bearded man sits barefoot on the porch of a rustic cabin at golden hour, playing an acoustic guitar. He wears a reddish Cryptozoology Field Guide T-shirt featuring the White Thang cryptid. A brown dog rests beside him. A mason jar of iced tea sits nearby. A red ribbon graphic is in the upper corner, and a Monster & Myth logo is in the lower corner.
Alabama’s weirdest legend gets a shirt worthy of the porch — the White Thang, tall and silent since the 1930s.
Wear the myth, stir the story.

A ghostly woman stands in a dimly lit hallway, draped in a translucent white veil that obscures her face. She wears a pale T-shirt reading “Paranormal Field Guide: The Lady in White – The Queen Mary, Long Beach, California.” Her figure glows faintly blue in the darkness. The Monster & Myth logo appears in the lower corner.
Across every country, every age, she appears the same —
veiled in white, grieving, silent.
The Lady in White — forever searching.

Birds have a prominent role within #southofmidnight be it the #rougarou of chapter 7 or the owls that appear in every chapter. Birds in the south represent freedom to the fullest extent. Oftentimes guiding lost and/or trapped souls towards a better and freer life.
#compulsiongames #southernfolklore
After finishing #southofmidnight I have to say that this game is a beautiful telling of #southernfolklore The use of #mythology to share the troubled #history of those seeking freedom and a new life within the southern United States is just what we need in these uncertain times.

My personal photo: 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.

While reading #FaustianFriday posts I'm so feeling the song "Me and the Devil". The original was by Robert Johnson 1938. Most people are familiar with Soap & Skin's version (which is INCREDIBLE). The are other versions as well! Johnson recording 1938. [1 of 3]

Famed African American Blues legend, Robert Johnson is believed have sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for talent. "You sprinkled hot foot powder, all around your daddy's door... there's a hellhound on my trail" #FaustianFriday #Blues #Hoodoo #SouthernFolklore

Photo taken in 1999 showing where the large burial mound beside the Chesser Family home on Chesser Island of the Okefenokee Swamp once stood. Photo by Tara D. Fields.
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
