7 THINGS THAT SCARE SOUTHERNERS

It’s spooky season, and we aren’t afraid to admit it: There are things that
frighten Southerners in real and unique ways.


As you anticipate Halloween in just a few weeks, let’s consider what really
gives Southerners the creeps. These are things that strike fear into our
bones—whether real or imagined.

UNSWEET TEA

If you’ve ever been stranded anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line (or at a
potluck where, strangely, sugar has run out), you learn real quickly how a glass
of iced tea can put you on edge. Let’s be honest: Unsweet tea is just unnatural.

We expect sweet tea, and we’re not afraid to put someone in their place for not
having it available. It might make us a little bit scary ourselves.

UNFRIENDLY NEIGHBORS

Scary movies often have neighbors who are quite creepy; don’t go wandering into
someone else’s house, because you never know what horror may live there. (Think
“Fright Night” or “Rosemary’s Baby.”)

But, in the South? The scariest neighbors are the ones who don’t want to talk to
you. They’re unfriendly for a possible variety of reasons. Are they shy? Do they
just not understand the concept of Southern hospitality?

(Note: The same idea applies to unfriendly people in the checkout line or the
person who doesn’t wave to you when you let them in traffic.)

We adore college football. (Vasha Hunt)


A DAY WITHOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Have you ever woke up on Saturday morning and realized that your favorite
college football team has an off weekend? Or has the college football season
ended and you suddenly realized that you have no games to watch for at least six
months?

We don’t know what to do with ourselves when there’s no college to watch (do
laundry? go to the movies? watch other games?), and that strikes fear into our
hearts.

SNAKES

This is a real fear in the South; I can’t count the number of posts I see
everyday on social media of photographs of snakes and people asking, “What is
this snake?” or “Is it poisonous?”

Most of us who grew up in the South are used to snakes. My Texas grandmother
once found one coiled up under her feet by the gas pedal in her car, then came
home after errands to find one waiting for her on her doorstep – but that
doesn’t mean we still aren’t scared of them.

LEGENDARY SOUTHERN MONSTERS

The South is a place of folklore and legends, and the region has its share of
scary monsters rumored to live in certain states or in the trail behind your
house.

From the Rougarou (a werewolf-like creature that prowls the swamps of Louisiana)
to the Bell Witch (a ghost that haunted the John Bell family of northern
Tennessee); from the Mothman (a strange bird-man blamed for deaths in West
Virginia) to the many sightings of Big Foot and other Sasquatch-like
creatures…the South is a hotbed of monsters that will keep you up at night.

13 ALABAMA GHOSTS AND JEFFREY

If you went to elementary school in Alabama, there’s a good chance you had a few
sleepless nights after your teacher read from the iconic book by famed
folklorist Kathryn Tucker Windham.

Windham based the stories on her family’s experiences in their Selma home with a
friendly spirit she named Jeffrey. Yes, Jeffrey was friendly – but that doesn’t
mean he didn’t scare plenty of children.

(The author went on to write seven additional books about ghosts in other
Southern states.)

A HOT AND HUMID FALL

Nothing strikes fear into a Southerner like the promise of a cool fall day that
transforms into just another hot, humid experience.

Autumn in the South – and Halloween in particular – can be a confusing time.
Will you be able to dress in a short-skirted costume? Will your child need to
wear a coat over her princess costume? Will the chocolate you’re handing out to
trick-or-treaters melt in the heat?

We have no idea, and that scares us.

THINGS WE USED TO DO IN FALL


Haley Laurence
October 02 | 2024

(AL.com file)

Fall's a special time in the South. The leaves turn a brilliant hue, football is
everywhere and the air turns crisp -- well, sometimes, at least.

But our autumn traditions have changed a bit over the last decade or two. As I
prepare my 4-year-old for an October filled with fall activities, I can't help
but think about how different it is from when I was young. So, let's take a trip
back down memory lane and remember our favorite fall activities from way back
when.

WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE LATEST VIDEOS, STORIES AND RECIPES.



(Joe Songer)


WENT TRICK-OR-TREATING

So yes, kids today technically still go trick-or-treating, but not in the way we
used to -- when our parents let us go and run across the neighborhoods alone,
knocking on strangers' doors. (Or at least a supervised stroll through a large
subdivision.) Now trick-or-treating has mainly turned into a neighborhood party,
trunk or treat or a trip to a family member's home. My town even has a
drive-thru trick-or-treat this year, which is convenient but seems to miss the
point of kids liking to show off their costumes.


ACTUALLY WORE FALL CLOTHING.

Remember when it was fall and didn't have 100-percent humidity? It's happened
before, we're sure.

(AL.com)


ROLLED YARDS

Remember when you'd drive through a neighborhood and all you'd see is a sea of
white in the trees? Rolling yards was fun. We'd plan our attack and try to be
quiet, but we always had that one friend who could never stop laughing. Kids
still do this, especially in small-towns, but it's never as fun anymore because
of Ring doorbells -- it's far too easy to get caught.


WENT ALL OUT ON DECORATIONS.

Yeah, sure, plenty of people still decorate their front yards for Halloween. (I
am a huge fan of the giant skeletons.) But way back in the day, people went all
out on the spooky decorations sure to frighten a kid or two. People got really
creative. Now, it's just a few inflatables and that's it.

Shutterstock


PARTICIPATED IN A CAKE WALK.

Oh, gosh, y'all remember cake walks? Cake walks were the best. A background for
the uninitiated: it's kind of like musical chairs but you walk around numbered,
taped-off squares on the ground and whoever ends up at the winning number wins a
cake.


WENT ON HAYRIDES.

OK, so this is one tradition that has somewhat stayed intact, but it's still a
lot harder to find hayrides then it used to be. If you can find 'em, they're
usually a part of a pumpkin patch ride.

Mark Almond


WENT TO A HAUNTED HOUSE -- AT SCHOOL.

It's pretty rare to find a school that hosts a haunted house now, but remember
when you'd go to a fall festival at school and there'd be a haunted house set up
in a classroom? My school always had a haunted house in elementary that would
never get the OK today.


BOBBED FOR APPLES

OK, there was a time when we'd go to autumn carnivals and see at least one area
devoted to apple bobbing. You can never really find them now, because, you know,
germs. (And because Mom would always be so mad when you came back with a wet
head.)

5 REASONS TO FISH IN RIDGELAND, MISSISSIPPI: A MUST-VISIT GETAWAY FOR FISHING
FANS


Ashley Locke
September 30 | 2024


Ridgeland, Mississippi, is breathtaking!

(Visit Ridgeland)

If you're a fishing enthusiast or you’re planning a trip with one, Ridgeland,
Mississippi should be on your radar. Situated near the Barnett Reservoir, or
"The Rez" as locals call it, this area offers some of the best crappie and bass
fishing in the Southeast. But it’s not just about casting a line— Ridgeland is
the perfect destination for a full-blown getaway. Whether you're into outdoor
adventure, local food or shopping, Ridgeland delivers a mix of small-town charm
and big-time fun.


Ready to plan your next fishing trip? Here’s why Ridgeland should be your go-to
spot.




1. THE BARNETT RESERVOIR: A CRAPPIE FISHERMAN’S DREAM

Let’s get straight to the point — the Ross Barnett Reservoir is the crown jewel
for crappie fishing in Mississippi. With 33,000 acres of fertile water and 105
miles of shoreline, this lake is a natural fish hatchery. Healthy populations of
bass, crappie, catfish, sunfish, white bass, striped bass and hybrid stripers
thrive here, but it’s the crappie that often steals the show.

What makes crappie fishing at The Rez even more exciting? It’s one of the few
lakes in the state with no size limit for crappie, and anglers are allowed a
30-fish creel. This unique regulation keeps the lake well-stocked and ensures
that you’ll be reeling in fish all day. The reservoir is a year-round fishery,
with November being an especially great time to fish.

With grass beds, stumps, lily pads, and deep waters filled with timber, there’s
plenty of cover to lure the crappie in. There’s no shortage of hot spots here,
no matter if you're fishing from a boat or the shore.


2. THIS LAKE HAS IT ALL.

While crappie may be the star of the show, bass fishing at the Ross Barnett
Reservoir is second to none. In 1966, salesman Ray Scott had a dream while on a
fishing trip to the reservoir — a dream that eventually turned into the B.A.S.
S. Tournament fishing.

Thanks to the abundance of gizzard and threadfin shad, there’s always plenty of
baitfish to keep the bass fat and happy. The lake’s ecosystem is teeming with
large and healthy bass due to its year-round growing season. Targeting
largemouth? Striped bass? The variety is endless, and so is the thrill.

With shallow waters perfect for springtime spawning and deeper sections for
summer fishing, the lake has it all. You can fish with confidence even on windy
days, thanks to the protection offered by the river system. And with no pole
limit, you can double down on your strategy.

3. A PERFECT GETAWAY FOR FAMILIES

You can’t expect every member of your family to be equally excited about
fishing, but Ridgeland has an array of activities both on and off of the
water—the perfect balance of outdoor adventure and city comforts. After spending
a morning reeling in fish, there’s no shortage of activities to keep everyone
entertained.

For those looking to unwind, The Renaissance at Colony Park offers boutique
shopping, upscale and casual bites, and an onsite spa, Aqua the Day Spa, where
you can relax with a massage or facial. Whether it’s browsing through local
shops or treating yourself to a bit of pampering, Ridgeland has plenty to offer
when you want to slow down and enjoy the day.

READ MORE: Why you want to go shopping in Ridgeland

If your crew is looking for off-water activities, Ridgeland is well known for
its network of bike trails that takes you from the Natchez Trace, around town,
and to the Barnett Reservoir. Your family can bike to the water's edge and meet
you for lunch at Cock of the Walk.


4. STAY IN RIDGELAND: COMFORTABLE LODGING WITH EASY LAKE ACCESS

Ridgeland offers a variety of lodging options that make it easy to turn your
fishing trip into a full weekend adventure. If you choose the Embassy Suites by
Hilton or the modern amenities at SpringHill Suites by Marriott, you’ll find
yourself just a short drive from the reservoir, giving you quick access to some
of the best fishing in the state. But the convenience doesn’t stop there — these
accommodations are perfectly located near Ridgeland’s vibrant local dining scene
and entertainment options, allowing you to savor a delicious meal or unwind with
some live music after a day on the water.

Ridgeland's central location truly lets you enjoy the best of both
worlds—spending your days casting a line and exploring the great outdoors, while
your evenings can be spent relaxing in town, enjoying all the hospitality and
charm this Mississippi gem has to offer. Whether you're there to fish, eat or
simply take in the local culture, Ridgeland is the perfect hub for your next
outdoor adventure.


5. MORE THAN JUST FISHING: OUTDOOR FUN FOR EVERYONE

Even if fishing is the main event for your trip, there’s plenty more outdoor fun
to be had in Ridgeland. Take a break from the lake and explore the Natchez Trace
Parkway, a scenic drive that’s perfect for a leisurely day trip or a more active
biking adventure. If hiking is more your style, the Ridgeland Multi-Use Trail
offers a beautiful route through the forest, giving you a chance to immerse
yourself in nature and stretch your legs.

Looking for something a little more laid-back? Challenge your friends to a round
of disc golf at Old Trace Park. With stunning views of the reservoir and a
relaxing atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors while keeping
things low-key. If you’re traveling with kids, they’ll love the playground at
Freedom Ridge Park, where they can burn off some energy while you kick back and
take in the fresh air.

For those who want to enjoy the outdoors without breaking a sweat, head over to
Renaissance at Colony Park for some al fresco dining. It’s a great spot to grab
a bite and soak in the atmosphere, with options ranging from casual cafes to
more upscale eateries. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing meal or
people-watching on a sunny afternoon, it’s a perfect way to round out your day
in Ridgeland.

And for the perfect way to end your outdoor adventure, head back to Barnett
Reservoir for a relaxing evening by the water. No matter if you'd like a sunset
boat ride, a family picnic or simply stargazing under the Mississippi sky, the
reservoir offers the ideal backdrop for unwinding after a day full of
exploration.

PLAN YOUR RIDGELAND FISHING GETAWAY

Ridgeland is the perfect place to drop your line and stay a while. With a mix of
great fishing, local charm and plenty of activities, you can plan a trip that’s
as relaxing or as action-packed as you want it to be.

WHY SOUTHERNERS LOVE A DOUBLE NAME


Cheryl Wray
September 24 | 2024


Anna Catherine. Mary Louise. Bobbie Jean.

If you live in the South, these are probably your neighbors.

Or your grandmothers.

Or the new baby in the family.



There is something special about names in the South. They are truly unlike names
you find in New Jersey, or Maine, or -- God forbid -- the Yankee state of West
Virginia.

Social Security records reveal the most popular baby names in the nation, and in
2023 the top five for boys were Liam, Noah, Oliver, James and Elijah while the
most popular ones for girls were Olivia, Charlotte, Emma, Amelia and Sophia. And
while those are the most popular names nationwide, you'll find some more
distinct names in Southern states.

You find more Sadies and Scarletts in Alabama; more Masons and Levis in
Mississippi; more Paisleys and Carters in Kentucky.

I just wish that such records told even more of the real story - - that a bunch
of those Masons were Mason Lees, and pretty much all of those Paisleys are
Paisley Jos. Because, you see, we LOVE double names down here.

WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE LATEST VIDEOS, STORIES AND MORE.

- YouTubeTo hyphenate, or not to hyphenate, that is the question. Either way,
say the whole thing. #itsasouthernthing #sotrueyall.

Why do we love double names in the South? I think there are a few obvious
reasons:


WE LOVE TO HONOR OUR FAVORITE RELATIVES.

Many double names include a favorite grandparent's name or a mother's maiden
name as part of the package. Having Mary Claire named for her grandmother or
John Robert named for his great grandfather just feels right.


WE WANT A NAME PERFECT FOR FUSSING.

Let's face it--longer names just work better to fuss at our kids with ("Lilly
Anne, stop pulling that cat's tail!" "Henry Thomas, get in this house right
now!")

Stock photo Storyblocks


WE LOVE TO STRETCH THINGS OUT.

We live in a region where we take things slow, stretch out goodbyes, and turn a
one-syllable word into a three-syllable one.

We also live in a world where everything is shorter--Twitter messages, texting
with emojis, attention spans. And where faster is better--faster Wi-fi, quicker
service, drive-thru everything. It's nice to know that some things are worth
being drawn out.


WE'RE JUST FOLLOWING HISTORY'S LESSONS.

Not as many people will know this, but the tradition of double names in the
South has been around for awhile.


The tradition apparently evolved from the practice of European families in the
18th century to give their children multiple names to showcase their upper class
status. Members of royal families would often bestow seven or eight names on an
heir, so non-royals copied them. And when families from England, Scotland, and
Ireland moved to the Southern United States a century later, the tradition of
double names came with them.

READ NOW: Double names you'd only hear in the South


THAT TRADITION IS STILL GOING STRONG TODAY.

When my youngest daughter was born, my mother was determined to call her Sydney
Faith; she stuck with it as long as she could, or until we told her that despite
her efforts we were just gonna call her Scout. (That's a whole different story
to talk about later--ignoring a given name completely and going instead with a
nickname based off a favorite Southern novel.)

When I became a grandmother for the first time, my new granddaughter was
christened Ramsey Cate - -and was welcomed at our church alongside newborns Ruby
Sue and Ellie Kay.

The fact that younger generations are clinging to this old tradition gives me a
strange sense of pride.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," after all. But, I'd like to
add, "A Rose with a Margaret added to it is a little bit sweeter."
