The displaced Gullah community under the runway lights.

Harris Neck is a site in Townsend, Georgia. The displaced Gullah community under the runway lights. Its accounts name only a collective — the harris neck dead. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Harris Neck is the taken — the '42 condemnation that's the airfield, the Gullah community that was the destroyed. The 100 families were the freed — the post-Civil War that's the landowning, the 'thriving' that's the record. The '79 was the return — the POER camp that's the protest, the 15 days that's the jail.
The county was the corrupt — the '48 transfer that's the breach, the '62 refuge that's the federal. The 'verbal assurances' are the disputed — the promise that's the return, the 'never' that's the reality. Harris Neck is the fight — the Land Trust that's the ongoing, the elders who remember.
The file keeps Harris Neck: the '42 seizure, the Gullah community, the '79 protest, and the refuge.
Harris Neck is the archive's Georgia file — the stolen land.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Harris Neck is the archive's Georgia file — the displaced community.
A refuge keeps its runway — the file's suggestion being that Harris Neck's hold is the seizure: the '42 condemnation, the '48 betrayal, and the elders who still want it back.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] named ghost legend: The displaced community is reportedly remembered. The accounts name only a collective — the Harris Neck dead. Harris Neck's file is thin on proof and long on persistence — the standard profile of American place-lore. The account has a collector's pedigree — written down as legend, which is the most honest status it can hold. The account appears in 'Harris Neck'. The name gives the haunting a face, and the sightings give the name a job.

· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported figures on the old runways. The reports at Harris Neck are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. Witness accounts, no evidence file: the claim is anecdotal and stays that way. The apparition is the file's anchor — every other report orbits it. The reports keep the address on the map.

HISTORY — 1 documented facts
· The WWII displacement of the community is documented. A documented history gives the file real substance; this entry is part of that spine. The fact is historically verified — the part of the file that doesn't need hedging. 'Harris Neck' documents the entry. The record keeps it — history, not lore. The claim holds its place in the ledger.
