Susan Williams and Allison Crews met 26 years ago on a fox hunt in Bolton, Mississippi. They were fast friends, and Susan became one of the “Swamp Witches.”
They’re a group of women who gather annually to hunt duck and foxes. It’s typically six witches, three canoes, and two dogs at a time, and over the years they’ve supported one another through thick and thin.
Alison Crews
Susan and Allison came to StoryCorps to share some of their memories, reflect on the beauty of the Delta, and their long lasting friendship.
