Rock Church

South Carolina · USA · Cemetery

The graveyard is very old and some of the headstones are simply rocks. Around a few of them the grass does not grow at all.

The graveyard at Rock Church near Greenwood, South Carolina is very old, and some of the graves are marked with nothing but a stone.

Around some of those markers the grass does not grow.

Singing is heard at night.

White mist has been seen circling the church on clear sunny days, with no fog and no damp to account for it.

Unmarked field stones are worth understanding. A rock instead of a carved headstone means a family who could not afford a stonecutter, and in a South Carolina churchyard of this age it frequently means a Black burial ground alongside or behind the white one. Those graves were rarely recorded.

Bare ground around a stone usually has a soil explanation, and the singing is the detail that people who go there remember.

It is a burial ground and the church is in use.
