No, it isn't... I am friends with someone whose family owns property there. It was their local "haunt" for years... Sadly, the story I recorded in Roadside Revenants turns out to have been more rural legend than fact... There's a house down there, but the one withy the red room story was razed just a few years ago. It isn't the house up on the hill...

i have been to the church multiple times and witness paranormal events such as car doors shutting, i also know people who have been to the red room before it was burnt down. They tell me freaky story's about it.

Well, I don't want to go back, ever! My boyfriend at the tiime took me there and just as we got to the red room house, the car stalled out. Not to mention that you had to turn around and go back through the road to get out! Every time we went it would start to snow in this one spot, about middle ways. I still had to drive through the road before you turn into point rd. I have to go by this church on the street. It is all boarded up, and I get a creepy feeling, even during the day. I think it must have been used for devil worshippers long time ago.Something bad had to have happened there, but noone would ever say for sure.

A small house os the last one on the left, and that one was still there just a couple pf years ago... Driveway blocked by a chain, and beat up old truck sitting there... Was the redroom hoiuse beside this small, one story house? The girl who lives down there insisted to me that the old house was on the right, and was razed a bit ago...

Some friends and I were considering checking out the church and cemetery. Has anyone contacted the owners of the property before about going there that can private their contact info to me or has it been fine for people to be on the property unannounced in the past?

You won't get inside, well, without getting arrested... It is sealed, with gridlock doors. I know the owners' niece, but she can't get you in... Oif you do, by some miracle, get them to allow you inide, tell us what you find...

Sorry I thought I responded to this earlier. Is that the church itself or has the whole cemetery been sealed off now?

Yea, nobody should plan on trying to get into the church. As has already been said, it's shuttered up with heavy locks on the doors, so the only way to get in would be to cause some serious damage to the building. I know most unprofessional, thrill-seeking kids who would be unlikely to end up here, so I'm probably not speaking to my target audience, but, please, everyone remember to have some respect when you do paranormal investigations. Anyone remember Piney Grove church in Concord that was a nice place to investigate until, presumably, teenagers and unprofessional "ghost hunters" vandalized it to the point that it had to be torn down. This church and cemetery at Point Road are in very good condition for their age, and my hope is to see them stay that way (no, I'm in no way affiliated with the owner of the property; I actually wish I was, because I'd love to go inside. I'm just saying this as kind of a "public service", but, again, everyone here seems professional, and I doubt the people who really NEED to read this will ever come across this site).
Anyway, yes, I'm familiar with this church and the area (I'm from Rowan County, about 10-15 minutes drive from this church), and have been investigating there since about 2006 or so, both with thrill-seeking friends and more professional individuals, alike. As someone who enjoys learning the history of places I investigate (especially places I find as particularly fascinating as this church and the whole "Point Road" area), I've tried to find out more about it, but haven't been able to come up with very much. About the only things I have been able to learn so far are, the name of the church is Cherry Hill Lutheran, and it has been adopted by the Mocksville Historical Society (although, in all the years I've been going there, I've never seen it "fixed up" any, but I credit it's relatively good condition to at least being maintained by either the owners or this historical society). I've heard the rumors about "Red Room" as well, but, like you guys, I have heard all sorts of conflicting reports. I've actually heard 3 stories (2 of which you guys have also heard): 1) it's been burned and there's nothing left of it, 2) it's the house where the road dead-ends, but I've also heard 3) that it's the old, 2-story white house near the beginning of the road (it looks to have been built sometime around the same time as the church if I had to guess, but it's obviously been kept up very well and is still being lived in, as there are usually lights on when you pass at night). As far as the first "theory" of Red Room, as I said, I've been ghost hunting the church since 2006 or so, and even then, I was hearing the "Red Room has been burned" rumor, so if anyone has any information that it has been burned since then, it's probably inaccurate (I haven't seen any houses "disappear" down Point Road; at least not any that would've been a spooky-looking house near the road that I would've noticed). So the best I can figure, it was either burned before 2006-07, or it was never burned at all, and is, in fact, still there and probably one of the houses in question. Further, I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but there is also a Pet Cemetery down Point Road. Some friends and I ended up in there one night, but nothing particularly interesting happened, and it's not a place I would consider "haunted", nor is it somewhere I'd really waste my time investigating (unless you just wanted to). Some other friends and I also found an old, abandoned barn out in the woods off Point Road one night. Again, nothing really to note about that, besides a funny story that goes along with it: Several months after we found the barn, another group of my friends who were teenagers at the time went "investigating", looking for Red Room (if you haven't already figured out, it's a big controversy around here about the exact location of Red Room). When they got back to the local hangout, one of my friends excitedly ran up to me, telling me they'd definitely found Red Room. Of course, I started asking questions about where it was, and immediately started to realize the similarities between this "Red Room" and the barn I'd been to previously. Finally, I asked a few key questions like "Did it have a floor?", "Was it almost completely open on one side?", and "Were there trees growing up through it?", and I was able to figure out that he'd only been to the same barn I'd been to, which completely disappointed him lol.
Anyway, as far as evidence gathered at the church go, I've never been able to capture much/any GREAT evidence there, but after looking at a couple other investigations done there online, I've found some strange similarities between my experiences there and that of other investigations. For example, crunching in the woods and howling (I always discounted this, thinking it was some sort of wild animals, which it very well *could* be, but it does seem to happen almost every time I go there). On a related note, for those not familiar with the area, we DO have coyotes in the rural parts of Rowan/Davie counties (and others around here, I'm sure), and they do have creepy/strange howls at times (sometimes, they can be mistaken for children screaming). I've also actually heard one report of a bear sighting many years ago off Point Road, but I can't confirm that. Obviously, bears show up around here every once in a while, but they're EXTREMELY rare in this area. Also, I've seen other investigators report seeing orbs at this church with their naked eyes (one group reported seeing blue orbs, and another reported seeing green orbs, I think). I had a similar experience to this one night, but it was a small red orb (almost exactly like a laser-pointer) that would fly around the side of the church and underneath it. I discounted this to someone, somewhere playing a trick on us with a laser pointer, but, as anyone who's been there knows, there aren't any houses immediately near the church, but that doesn't mean someone couldn't have been hiding in the woods somewhere. If you can't already tell, I try to go into these investigations with a skeptical mindset, but I always hope to find real, solid evidence that I can't debunk. I've also encountered cold spots and possible footsteps in the grounds between the back of the church and the cemetery. On one particular night, I went with a couple of guys who had heard a story about a little girl who had supposedly fallen out of the steeple/bell-tower of the church (which doesn't sound particularly convincing to me, but it is what it is), so, on that night, we were paying particular attention to the steeple, and, at one point, caught a pair of eyes watching us from it. It may have just been a reflection from the street light on a bell (or whatever's inside the steeple at this point), but I wasn't able to investigate further because one of the other guys got freaked out and insisted we leave immediately. On investigations I've been on since, I haven't been able to see the eyes, so I can't conclusively debunk them, although, like I said, I don't particularly buy the story of the girl falling from the steeple, nor do I really believe we saw a ghost watching us that night, but you never know.
I guess I should add that I am a true believer in ghosts and the paranormal (even though I do have a skeptical mindset when I'm investigating; I feel it helps me to be more objective), and I do genuinely "feel" that Cherry Hill Lutheran and probably other places along the Point Road area are haunted, although I've never been able to gather any evidence there that I feel is 100% "concrete".

Last night, after I posted that NOVEL of a post, I realized I'd forgotten one of my possible best pieces of evidence I'd gathered at that church. The same night we saw the "eyes" in the steeple, when we reviewed our evidence (which wasn't much, because that night we only had a couple of digital cameras and an old VHS camcorder from the 90's), we did get an EVP that was captured about halfway between the church and the cemetery. Keep in mind, on the night in question, it was myself (male), and 2 other men on this "investigation", if you can call it that, given our lack of equipment and considering one of the guys with us was a chickens**t lol. But, we'd captured what seemed to clearly be the voice of a little girl, and the best any of us could figure, it was saying "What. The. F**k." (there was like a half-beat pause between each word). Now, IDK if we all just "misheard" what it was saying or what, but it obviously doesn't fit with a little girl of the probable time period in question to be saying something like that, so, just like everything else, take it as you will. I wanted to get a copy of the tape from that night, but my friend who brought the camcorder never made me one. This night was sometime around Halloween 2009, so it's been a while, and I wish I was able to review the tape again.

My friends and I have been have been to the house a couple times. Our last visit was around March of 2012. We walked aroun the perimeter of house for a moment checking the place out. The front door was bored up but after walking around to the back porch we discovered a wooden door with a glass window that was unlocked... We then entered the house and looked around the main floor. We saw remnence of the last family that lived there, trash, old appliances, etc. we then found a set of stairs that took us to the atic. At the far end of the atic sat a wooden chair. We also found old photos of the house on the floor.
