The Chain Lady Confessions of the Witch of Yazoo

Buried beneath chains in Yazoo City's Glenwood Cemetery lies a grave that has terrified and fascinated generations. Local legend tells of a witch whose curse doomed the city to burn - and eerily, it did. In Confessions of the Witch of Yazoo, JM Alexander digs beneath the myth to reveal the woman, the story, and the power of fear that shaped an entire town's identity.

Blending historical research, folklore, and atmospheric storytelling, this book explores who the "Witch of Yazoo" might have really been, why she became the target of such a tale, and how her legend continues to haunt the Delta today. Readers are taken on a journey through 19th-century Yazoo City, uncovering the intersection of superstition, community memory, and Southern Gothic tradition. Was she truly a witch, or simply a misunderstood woman whose story was twisted by time?

Part ghost story, part history, part confession - this book brings the legend to life like never before and invites you to decide for yourself whether Yazoo City is cursed... or just cursed with a good story.
