Produced by David Widger
"The Phantom of Bogue Holauba" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel written in the early 20th century, around the 1910s. The story delves into themes of haunting and the past's specters, both literal and metaphorical, as it explores the impact of a long-standing ghostly legend on a family in the Mississippi Delta. The narrative centers around Kenneth Gordon, who travels to a plantation to fulfill his duties as the executor of his cousin's will. Upon arriving, he experiences a chilling apparition near the mysterious Bogue Holauba, which is tied to a local legend of a ghost associated with the tragic fate of a Polish trader who lost his boat in the Mississippi River. As Gordon interacts with the Keene family, he learns of the history of the apparition and the dark secrets surrounding it, including the confession left by his cousin about a cruel prank that led to the trader's downfall. This revelation poses a moral dilemma for Gordon when he must decide whether to expose this confession and its implications or to protect the family's reputation. The story climaxes with Geraldine, a strong-willed character, taking decisive action to destroy the damaging document, thus attempting to free the family from the ghost's haunting legacy.
