A WIERD SIGHT
Our townsman Mr.R.C. Meadows received a letter Friday from his sister who lives 
in Macon Co. in which she gives an account of a thrilling experience she had on 
last Tuesday night sitting in her room just before retiring.  She was startled 
to see blood streaming down apparently from the ceiling, it continued to fall 
down until there were 17 pudles in one room, 7 in another while streams of 
blood could be seen all over the hall.  Her husband was badly frightened and 
hurredly called in some neighbors living near by.  They went over immediately 
but when they reached the house the flow of blood suddenly ceased.  Large 
numbers of white and colored people called at the house the next day and 
declare that they never saw or heard of such a strange sight.  The blood was 
still on the floor although efforts have been made to get it up.  Mrs. Daniel 
is an old lady of undoubted veracity and says in her letter that she knows 
people who have not seen her house will doubt the truth of her statement but 
she is confident it was something supernatural and sent as a warning of 
impending evil.  Her brother Mr. Meadows concurs in this belief and is much 
worried over the strange phenomian.



Additional Comments:
R.C. Meadows served 3 terms as Sheriff of Schley Co., from 1873 to 1879.
