The Incident Report: Case No.5 "The Haints of Cuthbert, Georgia" w/ Ashonta (Instrumental: Name Your Fear by @shuka4beats) What would you do if you saw something that you couldn't explain? Content points: Frequently considered just a Southern superstition, blue porch ceilings have actually been a long-standing tradition in many parts of the country for centuries. Giving your own outdoor space a hint of blue is the perfect way to play into history, and it just might keep wasps, evil spirits and nightfall away, too. Once upon a time in the deep South, many people painted their porch ceilings a specific shade of Haint Blue, a soft blue-green, to ward off evil spirits called "haints." It's especially common in the historic homes around Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina. Although ghosts and goblins might not be front-of-mind for modern homeowners, many continue the tradition of blue porch ceilings to keep ties to their home's Southern roots.
