And that’s not all: other tombs remain
Two other graves, those of John Dotson and Daniel Hueston, still exist not far from the trail, discreetly hidden in a thicket. Here again, the families refused to have them moved, preferring to preserve the memory of the place where they lived.
A haunted city… upon landing?
Savannah is a city like no other. Ranked among the most mysterious cities in the United States, it immediately evokes the ghosts of Salem or New Orleans. Here, everything tells a story: tombstones covered in Spanish moss, echoes of the Civil War, victims of yellow fever, and even the painful tales of slavery.
For some visitors, the thrill begins before they even set foot on land. Legends say that pilots and crews are well-versed in these tombs and their mysteries. Some even speak of curious sensations during takeoff or landing…
A memory that remains on track
Today, the Dotsons are considered “ an integral part of the airport’s history .” Their story is a tribute to the past that resists progress. It reminds us that beneath every asphalt, there is a memory. And that sometimes, all you have to do is look up… or down.
