Here’s a scary tale of adultery, murder and ghosts. In 1871 Judge George Fish, one of Oglethorpe, Georgia's respectable citizens was fooling around with John Holsenback’s wife. John settled the issue by murdering Judge Fish with his own gun. This is where the story gets really, really weird.
The story teller is Violet Moore. Mrs. Moore was a renown local writer, columnist and author. She was honored by the Georgia State Legislature for her many stories about the Middle Georgia area. I don’t think I ever met a more gracious person. This story aired on Channel 2 Action News in 1978.
The Traveler series with Andy Johnston was an Emmy award winning program that showcased amazing people, unusual things, local legends, food finds, outdoor activities, folk art, and family fun. In 2022 the Walter J. Brown Media Archives at the University of Georgia founded The Original Georgia Traveler -- Andy Johnston Collection to preserve and maintain the stories.
