Ghostlanta :: Haint Blue

Every old house in the South has a blue porch ceiling because the Lowcountry Geechee believed spirits can't cross water. The color is called Haint Blue and the only store that mixes it by that name is a Sherwin Williams in Beaufort, SC.


Sometimes whole houses and blocks are Haint Blue because no one is shy to talk about spirits in the Coastal Empire. Atlanta may be haunted but we just ignore them.
