A common form of folk tales in eastern Perquimans, a county located near the coast in northeastern North Carolina, is that of \"tokens of death.\" They are tales and statements of belief concerning both natural and supernatural phenomena which were considered to have been omens, or tokens, of various deaths. These tales are intimately related to the history of Perquimans County and to the course of its economic and cultural development.
