The woman's name was Amelia and the incident supposedly happened on August 13. We had great fun growing up re-enacting the story with some of my older cousins playing the Amelia part and of course scaring the daylights out of any unsuspecting guest! The outer brick walls of Brick House still stand as does the Live Oak in which the jilted lover killed himself. There was a place on the wall that we were told was the "bloody handprint" and as gullible kids we believed it for years! An alternative version is that the person who killed Amelia was a local Indian who fell in love with her but could never have her because of the then cultural taboos, so he denied anyone else from ever having her as well! The story is recorded in TALES OF EDISTO, a great book on most of the ghost stories of the island.

My maternal grandmother Mary Laroache Bailey was born on wadmalaw but grew up on Tom Seabrook plantation.

It was an awesome experience and we will definitely do it again. Joey is an exceptional guide and person and you will truly benefit from this excursion.
