The Haunted Souls of Igbo Landing

They say the Ebo tribe still haunts the landing and you can hear the chains and their chants “The Sea brought me and the Sea will bring me home.” 

ST. SIMONS ISLAND

At Ebo’s Landing, during St. Simons Island’s plantation era, where slaves were once brought ashore along Dunbar Creek, the leader of the Nigerian Igbos tribe led his people into the waters of the creek rather than submit to slavery, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the slaves singing their song of freedom; “Orimiri Omambala bu anyi bia. Orimiri Omambala ka anyi ga ejina.”
