Isaiah of Memphis: Slave Who Left His Master Beneath From the Oak Tree and Was Never Seen Again
In 1849, Isaiah Turner, a quiet field hand in Memphis, followed his master Henry Caldwell home from church.

Isaiah disappeared into the woods, though travelers later claimed a tall shadow stood at the tree line, watching them pass in silence.
