Hello guests and fellow ghost hunters,
Halloween is less than a month away which means it is almost time for our big yearly ghost hunt. The Halloween hunts are always special because we go to places further away than usual. The last two years we went to Poinsett Bridge in Cleveland, SC. This year we want to go some place new, also possibly in SC since I live there now. If any of our members want to join us for a large ghost hunt, this would be the night to do it. This thread is for discussion of the location we will go to for Halloween. Suggestions are welcome.
Some places I found with potential:
SC
-
Beaufort - The Chapel of Ease - This notorious church is located on St. Helena and now stands deserted. When workers tried to seal up the crypt behind the church, they would find a surprise awaiting them the following morning. The bricks used to seal off the crypt somehow got neatly put in a little pile. All of their work seemed to be in vain for this happened numerous times. Other people have reported strange sensations when walking through the church's graveyard.
Blacksburg - Cherokee Falls Bridge - Booger Jim lives under the bridge. He died on the bridge in 1979 when he was hung over the side of the bridge with jumper cables by his crazy wife Becca at around 9:00 P.M. If you call his name 3 times, he will answer, but you can't make it out because his throat was crushed from the hanging! Some people have even reported seeing him with a large burn on his throat from the cables.
Blenheim?- Binghams light? - It is said back in the early 1800's a man's two children became missing in a snow storm. The man went in search of his children and never returned and neither did his children. It is said if you drive into the woods by a dirt road you will see his lantern glowing in the distance. It is also said if you scream to the light that you have his children the light will turn red. There are no reports of anyone getting close to the light but if you wait long enough maybe the light will come to you.- December Update: Bingham's lights appear close to the old cemetery, which is actually split into two sections, one on each of two hilltops. If you drive down the road between the graveyards towards the woods you will see the lights. It works best if you get out and walk in that direction.
Brattonsville - Battlefield - If you walk through it you can feel people and hear them. Reports of hearing metal banging, and seeing a light in the blacksmith shop. Nobody lives around there, and it is DEFINATLEY haunted.
Catfish - Riverbend road - N.C. HWY 16.- There is an old Indian burial ground If you go down the road about 3 miles and turn off in the field you will find an old dirt road with a chain blocking the drive. People say they see lights down there and that weird things happen to their vehicles when the lights come near.
Charleston - St. Philips Graveyard - The ghost of Sue Howard who's baby died still haunts the place, and is said to frequently attack women who are pregnant or have had miscarriages. There is also proof of her existence by a photograph taken by a photographer in the 80's doing a piece on Charleston's graveyards.
Darlington County - Montross - this is a very old cemetery not used anymore. According to legend, the cemetery was moved from the original location. Hauntings include feelings of dread or nausea. A large stone at the front of the cemetery shows the names and date of death of the people buried there. Beware of sunken graves. It also seems about ten to fifteen degrees cooler at the entrance than normal. Go with a fairly large group, because it is very easy to get lost. Take hwy 34 out of Darlington towards Dillon, go thro Mechanicsville and pass old Georgetown road. Start down the hill and watch for a dirt road on the right. It is not marked. Make sure you have a driver with good judgment because of the severe drop on the left side on the road up. You can make it in just about any car. Apparitions have been known to show up on camera. <
Gaffney - Blast Cemetery - During clear nights, about at midnight, you can hear gunshots and cannons going off. You can't see it but you can hear it, look back out in a few minutes and there will be people fighting and screaming. If you talk, jump, or run there will be people with red eyes, bloody teeth, and voice that says, "you are a killer, you must die." There have been many sightings of this encounter, many have been severely injured, some, however have disappeared. Do not stop near this place, there will be severe consequences!
Moonville - Civil War Graveyard - If you are driving down Lawrence Road as you get into Moonville, you will see a path in the woods to your right that leads to a Civil War graveyard. If you walk through the graveyard at night, you can hear screams, drums playing, loud breathing, and other strange noises.
Spartanburg - Hell's Gates - Hells Gate is an older cemetery located in the heart of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Strange things like having a cell phone give a busy signal, when it was later confirmed that the line that was called was NOT busy. As well, we have seen many odd and unexplained lights within the woods of the graveyard. Trying to take pictures and the flash wouldn't work. Apparitions of children and a whitish mist.
Woodruff - Seven Devils Bridge - This is a haunted bridge which many account, cannot be crossed on the stroke of midnight. Those who have tried to do so have broken down, screaming and crying uncontrollably. The bridge is near the price house and it is passable only by foot.
