Buried Alive

Standby For A Closer Look

I spoke to the Edisto Art Guild last night. Great group. On the way down I photographed the site of a legendary tale. I want to look into this tale more closely. Info comes from the Edisto Beach website: “Back in the mid-1800s, Julia Legare was visiting family on the island when she became ill and slipped into a coma. Her family anxiously awaited the day she would wake up, but that day never came. The family physician declared the young girl dead. Fifteen years later, another death in the family required the mausoleum to be opened. It was then that the family realized what a tragic error they had made. Julia’s remains, which had so long ago been entombed, were crumpled at the foot of the mausoleum’s door. She had been buried alive.”
