Hugging Molly lived in Abbeville, Ala. In fact, there is a restaurant now named after her. Although her name was used to keep children off the streets at night and to get them to honor their bedtimes.."or else.." another version of the story says that her baby died at childbirth and she never got over it. THe hugging gesture she made when she was seen was not a threat but a mournful searching for her child.
