My grandmother in NC in the 80’s told me when I described my sleep paralysis episodes that I had a hag on my chest. I can now connect her experience and wisdom to this culture. Thanks for doing this work and producing this content.
Whats even more eye opening is that when he said usually saying a bible verse works and gets the hag off you. Truthhhh!!! The fact that Ive had this happen to me as a child, and I started calling God instead of my mom, and Hag left. This is no coincidence that when we start to pray or call God that the Hag leaves, which to me is more than proof enough that our ancestors knew what they were talking about in the spirit and physical. Our spirituality is real and it works 💛💛💛 thanking the ancestors Ase Ooo
She mentioned that the Geechee are an indigenous American people and I agree. The Ogeechee river is named for them. The Gula/Guale Indians on the Seacoast.
They are right about the Hag! I say the lords' prayer in my head and it goes away!! My Great-Great Grandmother was a slave on Hilton Head and my father and those lines are from Orangeburg and were Geechie.
I hope that these beautiful people were paid for their time, and not just given video exposure. When other cultures come to us to ask us "questions" about our heritage, there needs to be an understanding that we will not do anything for "free" anymore. Our stories, our spiritual heritage, and our culture is valuable and they know it. They must now start to compensate us for anything that we say or do. As far as educating people from now on people need to educate themselves. Unless we are heavily compensated for the information and knowledge that we give, then people need to go on Google, they need to go to the library, they need to go to microfiche, because at this point as a people we need to be done giving things out just to prove. We are the culture, they want to have access to us, make them earn it, and earn it well.
My mother was GeeChee He mother had a Caribbean accent.I was told in the 1500s the people of Barbados were brought to the Carolinas and Georgia from Barbados to do farm work.The GeeChee became runaway slaves and mixed in with the Seminoles.During the war both the GeeChee and Seminole fought against the whites during I think Andrew Jackson era.After losing the GeeChee and Seminole fled to the Bahamas and Mexico.Thats why the creole similar to Bahamas creole.
I’m a St James, St. John Island Charleston South Carolina descendant who works with Belizians and Jamaicans everyday for 30 yrs. Gullah Geechee is broken English sweetheart. You’re speaking English just like them. You’re also speaking Creole. Not French Louisiana creole but South American Suriname, Guyanese, and Belizian creole. All are classified as their own languages.
I went through paralysis in my sleep you cant move i was afraid to tell my mother what was happening to me but come to find out theres others that were going through the same thing my mom would say a hag is riding you its true .
Y'all, my mom has told me I look like a haint when I wake up in the morning (bed head or don't have on lipstick when I see her) for 47 yrs. And her carport ceiling, doors, and window shutters are Haint Blue. We're white and all live in ATL. Guess superstition travels every direction.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! i’m half Geechee half louisiana creole. on my geechee side my grandma will be quick to let anyone know she’s from “turtle island” America. She’s not african.

Hi, Gullah and Geechee is 2 different people⚠️⚠️ Gullah is Africans from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 Geechee is Americans North 🇺🇸 ONLY! I wish these people (Gullah’s) 🛑 trying to make us be one people. Geechee’s are not slaves from Africa!

I’m sorry but you obviously don’t know what you are talking about. Gullah is and has been classified as its own Creole language. That’s like saying Jamaican Patois or Haitian Creole is a dialect of English or French, which it is not. Please pick up a book and educate yourself.
@@Gullahbae-xm6ms the "language or dialect" argument comes down to person beliefs and ideas. And there are linguist who will tell you that it's a dialect of English

It was described to me as a "Witches Ride".
It Was Witch Riding you that's what i was told too
You had a Haint on you.
There’s a lot of us who are Geechee and don’t know it

Still can’t decide whether I enjoyed Savannah or Charleston better.
Just say you enjoyed both LOL! We're sister cities.
@@ahngele28I was about to say that lol. We’re literally one in the same. 🫶🏽🫶🏽
The two are more alike than any other two cities (my opinion).
They are right about the Hag! I say the lords' prayer in my head and it goes away!! My Great-Great Grandmother was a slave on Hilton Head and my father and those lines are from Orangeburg and were Geechie.
Thank you Geechee or Geechie only!
I was filled with joy and had a tear at the last scene
I remember my grandma talking about hags and haints
Girl, mine too!
Mine as well. On both sides of my family.

Alot of Old black folks believe in "roots" which is curses or a spell that can be put on you.
I’m white, and my great grandmother was a staunch believer.

Ha-sounds just like my own grandmother. I’m also white and from North Georgia.
And The worrst Race relations in the country
Black Americans do not owe you anything. They have the right to maintain their original culture.
Doc needs to go back to school. We aboriginal and indigenous to this land. We were here before Columbus. Stop it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your proof? What tribes do the Geechee descend from?! Why don’t they engage in indigenous practices nor speak an indigenous language?
@@Gullahbae-xm6ms these people claim indigeneity yet have no creation stories,no particular mannerisms/words attributed to native Americans, and no songs/cultural figures
I agree they definitely have Caribbean accent
