Ridge Church

South Carolina · USA · Cemetery

An abandoned church with four graveyards around it and what local account calls a mass grave, said to hold the victims of a fire.

Ridge Church at Lowndesville, South Carolina is abandoned. Around it are four separate graveyards and what local tradition describes as a mass grave, understood to hold the victims of a fire in the town years ago.

Another claim is that the building was used by Satanists for a period after it closed.

The second claim belongs to the satanic panic and has no support. The first deserves more care. Mass graves in the rural south are usually the result of an epidemic or a disaster that overwhelmed the ordinary means of burial, and a fire that killed enough people to need one would appear in the county record.

Orbs are reported over the graves, which is the least reliable evidence in this field.

Four burial grounds around a single small church is genuinely unusual and is the part worth investigating.
