Neuware - How myths and lore reflect a time of terror During and after the days of slavery in the United States, one way in which slaveowners, overseers, and other whites sought to control the black population was to encourage and exploit a fear of the supernatural. By planting rumors of evil spirits, haunted places, body-snatchers, and ''night doctors'' - even by masquerading as ghosts themselves - they discouraged the unauthorized movement of blacks, particularly at night, by making them afraid of meeting otherworldly beings. Blacks out after dark also risked encounters with ''patterollers'' (mounted surveillance patrols) or, following the Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan.
