- Night_Doctors abstract "Night Doctors, also known as night riders, night witches, Ku Klux doctors, and student doctors are bogeymen of African American folklore who emerged from the realities of grave robbing, medical experimentation, and intimidation rumors spread by Southern whites to prevent workers from leaving for the North.African American folklore spoke about white doctors that would steal, kill, dissect and run different experiments, which were referred to as “Night Doctors”. These tales are difficult to verify, but what has been said is that white slave owners told African Americans about the tortures performed by “Night Doctors” to prevent freed slaves from moving to the North. In order to further emphasize the rumors, white owners would dress in white sheets to represent kidnappers. They wandered the African American communities to make them believe that they would be abducted, taken to medical facilities and killed. To many African Americans these "night doctors" weren't just fictions used as scare tactics, they were real life.A poem was created from the fears of the African Americans that applied more realism to the Night Doctor myths:""THE DISSECTING HALLYuh see dat house? Dat great brick house?Way yonder down de street?Dey used to take dead folks een darWrapped een a long white sheet.An' sometimes we'en a nigger' d stop,A-wondering who was dead,Dem stujent men would take a clubAn' bat 'im on de head.An' drag dat poor dead nigger chileRight een dat 'sectin hallTo vestigate 'is liver-lights-His gizzardan' 'is gall.Tek off dat nigger's han's an' feet-His eyes, his head, an' all,An' w'en dem stujent finishDey was nothin' left at all.""".
