We were in Lowndesville this afternoon and stopped off at Ridge Church. This is supposedly one of the most haunted places in this state. I can say it is way out in the woods and I would not want to hang out there after dark. Lol. Anybody got any other places in mind in SC that are haunted? Personal experience?

Oh, I'm hauling ass too if something weird happened but I have to admit I find the paranormal interesting.
 
I have always been fascinated with the story of Eliza Huger buried at the Old Stone Church Cemetery. I have photos of her grave stored away on a memory card somewhere.

copied from the link I am attaching.

. a single tomb surround by a stone wall. The inscription "Brothers Sorrow" is barely legible now.

"The woman was from Abbeville. She ran away from home to New Orleans. Her brothers went to find her and bring her back home," he said. "When they found her, she was in the flesh trade. They found her servicing a customer and shot them both dead on sight."

The brothers returned with the body, but her family would not accept it, so she was buried in the Old Stone Church cemetery.

"They buried her and put a marble plaque on her," he said. "Since then, the marble plate has been struck by lightning a couple of times and the force of blows has come to her name so that her name is essentially obliterated. The great difficulty of getting anything to grow inside the area except for thistles or weeds was ongoing for years…. Someone has been tending the area, and now there are flowers there, but they are just barely hanging on."

There are at least four or five legends surrounding the woman, her grave and the coins thrown on top of the marble slab. Some say the stones, trinkets and money are intended to keep her inside the tomb.

Stumphouse Tunnel is supposedly haunted.. I took this photo while I was there Just make sure you have a flashlight if you ever go.. a lot of people didn't go all the way in because they didn't have flash lights.

It's not SC but TBAR has talked me into staying at this place when I go visit Gettysburg later this summer. Supposedly there are a lot of ghosts here. Cashtown Inn about 10 miles west of Gettsyburg.

Curious as to where you heard this. I grew up in Lowndesville and don't recall anyone ever saying the Ridge Church was haunted.
 
GarnetGhost.......my beach house is next door to the Gray Man's house. Although the tales run rampant about his appearances before storms, when one starts brewing I always get out on the beach walkway to check him out. Still waiting on that gentleman to show up.
 
Alice's grave at All Saints Church in Pawley's Island . Heard about it all my life. Visited it once .... In the daytime . Lol Supposedly , you walk around it backwards 13 times and she appears . I know at least 50 people that say they've seen her . I have seen a ghost. The Monteleon Hotel in New Orleans. I walked in my room and this elderly lady was sitting behind a desk . I jumped backwards 5 feet thinking I had walked in the wrong room. Then I saw my stuff on the bed. I went back to confront her and there was no one . Later , my wife had bought a book , Ghosts of New Orleans . She and everybody else made fun of me until they read that book where it described the exact same woman I saw to the T . Hundreds of guests at that hotel have reported seeing her over the years .
 
There is a place in Greenwood, SC called "The Rock House." Very creepy place to visit at dark. I went there and I never have been so scared in my life and will not go back.

There are rumors that Satanic worshipers go there on Halloween night and sacrifice goats and virgin women, but it's just rumors. But the history behind the house and what I experienced when I went there, I have chills just typing this out.

Rock House

Umm ... maybe not the goats, but don't you think someone might miss the virgin women who are being sacrificed?
 
That's why I said it's just rumors, because we'd all know about it if it was true. I sort of believe the goats, because when I was there, I've seen bones and goat horns in the woods in the back of the house. There's a stone table with Satanic symbols, but who knows really. Never saw it happen so I can't speak too much truth to it.

Clempson supplies the goats, but they don't have any virgins up there. I'm guessing the goats aren't virgins either.
 
Also, I used to live in a trailer back in Greenwood, SC where I grew up. There is an old 19th century plantation house, right across the road from the trailer I lived in. It's on hwy 178 south, intersecting scotch cross road and hwy 225. The history behind it, is that the owner of that plantation during the 1800s had slaves, and they were beaten, killed, and buried on the property where the trailer is located. When I lived there, my family witnessed so much paranormal activity. Our faucets would run and toilets would flush by themselves, at night, we'd see shadows of people walking by and no one would be there, and we'd hear screams and talking, but no one would said a word. It got to the point when my sister was walking and then we felt a breeze and she was picked up off the floor and thrown across the room. My dad was a brave soul and called out the spirits to "leave my family alone, hurt me instead." When he said that, he was thrown across the room, and he said, "That's it, we're moving out." My dad sold the trailer and property and we left. Each time I visit my folks, I go on 178 and see that trailer and it reminds me of what I went through.
 
Belief in the paranormal is obviously a very personal thing. If one has never witnessed anything in that realm, I would fully expect one to be a skeptic. But here's the thing, once you've seen something, particularly something that is undeniable, you look at things like those mentioned in this thread in a different light.
Have been to some of the places mentioned, and while I did not experience anything in particular while at any of these places specifically (other than a general feeling of creepiness, which can be explained), I have had experiences that include some at the house I grew up in, which led me to believe ghosts undeniably exist.

Any number of places in Charleston.
The Old Jailhouse in Charleston was rated by the show Ghost Hunters as the No. 1 haunted places in the U.S.
I find it hard to believe that it outranked those places you hear about in Connecticut.
 
I grew up in Gtown county, didn't know he had a specific house. Which one?

Google it. Several things come up on the first page, including photos and EVP recordings.
 
Ridge Church also has what is purported to be a mass grave containing either the people from the drowning at Harper's Ferry or the fire in the 20s.
 
My Mother and Dad grew up near Rivers Bridge State Park ("The Memorial Grounds") close to Ulmer and they told some some harrowing stories about that place. Mostly about horses, carriages and wells and all sorts of creepy sh*t. I don't know if I believe in ghosts or not and I am fine with that--for sure don't want to figure it out by seeing one.
 
Yep, me too. Grew up in Bennettsville so we made regular trips to Brownsville on the weekends. Buncha teenagers. Buncha beer.

I grew up in Greenwood and have been to the Rock House numerous times at night and did not ever find it to be scary. It's just an old abandoned house with graffiti all over it. Of course, this was in high school in the 70's and we were always full of false courage if you catch my drift.

Thanks - interesting reads. I was there many times as a youngster and never experienced any of the happenings described in the links. I'll have to ask my dad about this, his childhood home was less than a mile from the church.
 
Ryan, coming off the north causeway, it is approximately the 6th house on the left, next door to the house with the angel fish sign on the palmetto tree. In character, the house is colored gray. I had a banker tell me about an encounter with the grayman on the Pawleys Island pier a few years back. The banker says the old fellow came up to him while he was fishing, spoke for a minute or two, then, when his head was turned, vanished into thin air. The banker's grandson witnessed this too.
 
Here's my experience with ghosts: My dad died in 1964 and left a North Carolina farmhouse to my brother and me. We used to go up there on weekends to work on the yard and get away from Columbia. One night we were driving back to Columbia around midnight. We had just gotten off highway SC 145 and merged on to US 1 north of McBee. It had been raining that night but had stopped, although steam was still rising from the road. Suddenly, out of nowhere there was a woman in the middle of the road coming toward me walking two large dogs. She wasn't walking off to the side, but right in the middle of the road and appeared to have stepped out of the steam. I swerved to miss her, slammed on my brakes and stopped the car. I sat there for a moment with my heart in my mouth because I knew I had not been quick enough to have avoided hitting her or the dogs. I mean, one moment the road was empty and the next moment there she was only a few feet in front of me. I thought maybe I had nodded off for a minute and dreamed that I saw the woman, but my brother was yelling at me because he had seen her too. We went back to the spot and looked around but there was no woman and no dogs to be found. I have since heard that other people have seen this woman and her dogs on the road and that she disappeared just like she did for me. I am an attorney, my brother is a medical doctor. We are both crazy as can be, but we know what we saw. I will never doubt the paranormal.

Thanks! Gone past that a million times. I even worked at PI supplies on the north causeway during the summers in high school.
