The Crossroads Legend: Robert Johnson, Midnight, & Southern Folklore | Tales from Cranewitch Hollow

Описание: In this episode of Tales from Cranewitch Hollow, we walk down a dirt road at midnight — where lantern light trembles, cotton fields whisper, and the veil between worlds wears thin. This is the story of The Crossroads: a legendary meeting place of fate, folklore, and forbidden bargains.

Rooted in Southern tradition and immortalized through blues mythology, the crossroads has long been said to be where desperate souls go to trade something precious for power, talent, or truth. But the old stories tell us it’s more than a deal with the Devil.

It’s a liminal space.
A threshold.
A moment of becoming.

In this chapter, we explore the deeper folklore behind the crossroads — its spiritual meaning, its role in American blues legend, and why these in-between places still call to seekers, artists, and wanderers.

Light a candle. Listen for footsteps in the fog.

This is Southern Gothic storytelling, where myth walks beside memory.

📚 Tales from Cranewitch Hollow blends folklore, haunted history, and witch-academic storytelling from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and beyond.
