As it turns out, the Martindales—the family most promi- nent among the names on the quilt top— had ties to Gerrit Smith and his abolitionist activities. William Martindale was among a group of neighbors who worked closely with Gerrit Smith earlier in the nineteenth century (Friedman 1982, 97). Smith was a member of the Secret Six, a group that funded John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry (Oates 1970, 238). According to Donna Burdick, after John Brown’s arrest, members of the Martindale family hid weapons in the Martindale black- smith shop in Peterboro, in case they needed to defend Gerrit Smith against arrest for his role in the raid. Gerrit Smith had been dead for about fifteen years by the time the quilt was made, but his imprint on the commu- nity of Peterboro has been enduring.

    Haunting Experiences Diane Goldstein, Sylvia Grider, Jeannie Banks Thomas Published by Utah State University Press Goldstein, Diane & Grider, Sylvia & Thomas, Banks. Haunting Experiences: Ghosts in Contemporary Folklore. Logan: Utah State University Press, 2007. Project MUSE., https://muse.jhu.edu/. For additional information about this book https://muse.jhu.edu/book/9397 No institutional affiliation (2 Feb 2019 09:46 GMT) Introduction Old Spirits in New Bottles Bottle Trees and Cell Phones Bright wind chimes composed of enticing, candy-colored, pastel bits of glass are for sale at the Winchester Mystery House gift shop (fi gure 1). Some of the glass is formed into colorful bottles reminiscent of those in the southern supernatural tradition of bottle trees, a custom depicted in movies such as Ray (2004), a biopic about African American musician Ray Charles, or Because of Winn-Dixie (2005), a children’s fi lm about a beloved dog. The famous southern writer Eudora Welty photographed them. A contemporary southern author, Dennis Covington, describes them: “If you happen to have evil spirits, you put bottles on the branches of a [bare] tree in your yard. The more colorful the glass, the better, I suppose. The evil spirits get trapped in the bottles and won’t do you any harm. This is what Southerners in the country do with evil spirits” (1995, xv). Bottle trees are a product of southern African American cul- ture. Jim Martin says that glassblowing and bottle making existed as early as the ninth century in Africa. The practice of hanging objects from trees to ward off evil spirits is also African, and the bottle tree itself is Kongo-derived.

Brunvand used his collection of legends, The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends & Their Meanings (1981) to make two points: first, that legends and folklore do not occur exclusively in so-called primitive or traditional so- cieties, and second, that one could learn much about ur- ban and modern culture by studying such tales.

    Adolescent Legend Trips as Teenage Cultural Response: A Study of Lore in Context Patricia M. Meley One warm evening in June 1989, Jason, a fifteen-year-old boy who lived next door, called through my open window, "Can I come in and smoke a cigarette?" I welcomed him in, and as he sprawled his six-foot frame across the couch, he began to earnestly relate an account of a "trip" he had taken. To hear him tell it, it was a journey that took him far in emotion if not in distance: We went, you know, because Duane told us about it. There's this trailer where this guy shot his wife--shot her dead, y' know--she's gone-dead. And we stopped at this trailer and sat there and stared at it and we were all scared shitless. 'Cause it's just this narrow dirt road; trees surround it. And we sat there and this blue light goes on in this abandoned trailer where this man killed his wife. And if we didn't get out of there like nothing--I mean, we were gone. And then this car, it's a one-way road, there's no way to get out on it, this car just turned out of nowhere. There's a cliff--you fall off, you die--turned out of nowhere, just nowhere. I will never go back. I was so scared, I didn't sleep. About two weeks later, while he was sitting outside waiting for a friend, Jason's seventeen-year-old brother, Paul, told me a brief, but equally strange tale: There's a crazy man back there.
