Most of what i saw had a lot more to do with the natives, and the Civil War.

More dark history would be that I'm a stones throw away from jekyll Island. 

I'm in old Timucua territory. 

All kinds of wild tales going on there, and all that went down at jekyll Island.

Demons are the fallen angels. The 1/3 of angels that fell with lucifer.

The book of Enoch: The Lord speaking:
"And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon 9 the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; 10 they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. [As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless 12 hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them."

Iif anyone really wanted a detailed answer, the book "Daemonologie" by King James is an interesting read, and gives a good lay out of it all (I was actually surprised about it)

It breaks all if this down. Even talk about things like fairies, vampires, werewolves etc. 

I highly suggest the read.

It seems those cold northern borders created far-reaching connections via dialect and behaviour!!

(Note: No Scots or Geordies were hurt in this situation.)

Being in the medical profession and living in Florida, has exposed me to a huge number of dialects. I find it interesting how people from all areas always manage to develop a unique sound to the way that they speak.

Wiki tongues or transitional tribal speak?

There once was a movement afoot to have Appalachian English designated as "Queen Anne's English" and have it associated with the English spoken around the time of the first English colonies in America, but I personally think that everything changes over time, and the Appalachian dialects have also gone their own way in the intervening years between colonization and now.
