Igbo Landing on St. Simons Island is considered a haunted site due to the historical mass suicide of Igbo enslaved Africans in 1803, who chose death over slavery by drowning in Dunbar Creek. Oral traditions among the Gullah-Geechee people claim the spirits of the flying Africans remain, leading to reports of unseen chanting, spiritual echoes, and an overall haunting presence in the marsh. Fishermen often avoid the area, fearing disturbance of the spirits. In 1803, a group of Igbo captives revolted against their enslavers on a ship in Dunbar Creek. Rather than endure slavery, the captives marched into the water, singing in their native tongue, and drowned themselves. Local Gullah-Geechee oral traditions recall the Igbo "flying home" across the water, symbolizing their ultimate act of freedom. The site is believed to be haunted by the spirits of the Igbo people, who chose death over bondage. Stories describe the echoing of their chants, the sounds of chains, and a profound sense of spiritual energy lingering in the area. Due to the strong spiritual atmosphere, many local fishermen avoid fishing in Dunbar Creek to prevent disturbing the spirits of the Igbo.
