《True Reddit Posts》Appalachia ( Land Of Spirits)
Advertisement
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I grew up in the heart of Appalachia, at the head of a holler, surrounded by my mom's extended family. The land has been passed down in the family for 7 generations and has seen quite a few deaths in its time (as most family would rather spend their last few moments on earth at "home"). This is normal for most Appalachian "clans", but what is not normal is that the women in my family can see and connect with those that have passed on. These people never really leave.
I know it sounds crazy, but I vividly remember my great grandmother, who died three weeks after I was born. She used to take naps with me and comfort me. I can tell you her favorite color, what she was thinking when she died (in my house)(yes, I asked her), and secrets she had with my mother.
There was another spirit that lived in my house. A young girl that was in my bathroom once. I screamed when I saw her and my mom came running from the laundry room, she saw her too. After my mom threw the bleach she was carrying at her the girl disappeared. We think this could have been my great-great aunt's sister that died in my driveway, but no one knows for sure. We didn't see her again after this. My cousin's five-year-old daughter keeps asking about the little girl that lives in the drive way.
That's not the only thing weird about my home, I can also tell you when someone dies. When my great uncle passed, I knew it when I was at my home (5 houses away) eating lunch. I could feel it. This happens everytime someone passes away. I feel it before I'm told about it.
What I'm looking for is any kind of information on Appalachia and sprits. I swear. there is something in the mountains or the land, it can't just be me that's noticed it.

Necromancer
I'm writing day by day without plan nor any idea of where the story is going and I'll be making no effort of editing or proofreading until I'm done with the story if ever. Be warned. Blue sky, blue water, blue moon, green pasture, this is the world of Blue. Long ago, the known world was divided into six kingdoms each embodying its own element. War and violence were everywhere, and the people suffered until one day the death lord had enough. Breaking a long-standing alliance with the Life lord, they killed him and resurrected him as a pawn. Before long, all but the fire lord were puppets under their rule, but the people rejoiced as war was all but finished... … but it was not to be. The death lord grew old. By the time of their final victory, they were already at death door with the armies of the fallen lord still disputing their heritage. Desperate to take things under control before his final demise, a ritual was conceived, one to transform the dying lord into an undying lich. The ritual worked but not without an unforeseen consequence: only the living can control the dead. As one, his former minions rose to overthrow them and before long the powerful elemental lords ruled again as the wight kings. Now immortal, their rules and their war became more cruel than ever and the people despaired, all the blame falling on the one they had once claimed their savior. The wight king's war lasted for six hundred year, but eventually even them were consumed by its violence and peace came. Generations have passed, new kingdoms have raised out of the ashes of the old ones, however the fear of the dead and those who rules over them still haunt the heart of the people. In a world that fears and reject them, death mages must works behind the scene to appease the spirits and heal the scars of the world.
