by Salisbury University Students (1971 – 1972)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents during 1971 to 1972, former Salisbury University students Kim Ballard, Donna Collins, and Marsha Reynolds collected local legends. For this collection, all stories recorded occurred at St. Augustine's Church in Chesapeake City, Maryland. These stories tell of strange events that took place in the Church, specifically about a tomb missing a brick. Most interviews include personal descriptions of the interviewer and informant, and the story.
