Ironically, I recently read a fiction novel about ladies wanting to stay at a former Underground Railroad house turned Inn. They preferred to call runaway slaves or escaped slaves, "Freedom Seekers." Of course, slave owners were the ones who gave those escaping the truancy the names.
The fictional characters wanted to contact their ancestors' spirits, via seance or simply connecting by being there. In the story, there was a root cellar where people died due to a fire. Also a woman gave birth, in the house, killed the man trying to capture her to take her back to slave farm. She then killed herself.
Of course, the article says the cabins are former slave quarters. I would need to know more. The one or two room cabins mostly had dirt floors No electricity, no indoor plumbing. Some had fireplaces, for heat and cooking. Those slave quarters had to have some serious remodeling in order to be suitable for rentals.
Who, in today's modern society would rent a shack for their vacation!
I do want to read more of the comments.
