"""Beyond the old plantation's creaky gates, a moonlit cemetery beckoned. So begins your typical Southern Gothic novel. Yet Wil Elrick, Alabama native author, researcher, storyteller and ""weirdologist"" loves to discover the history behind those strange stories, legends, and folk tales of his state.
