The beautifully crafted Abbeville Opera House in the Upstate has been the home for many shows and performances since its opening in 1908. But according to many witnesses, some its ghosts seem to stick around for one final performance. Also, in a world full of true crime content, we all seem to know at least a little bit of trivia when it comes to serial killers. One of these killers seems to fly under the radar for the most part, but Junior Pierce was nothing short of a monster. And later, we’ve got a double-dose of haunted theaters in this episode. The Dock Street theater in Charleston has also had its fair share of tragedy since its opening and plenty of ghosts to go along with it.

Since October of 1937, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart has puzzled the world and birthed many conspiracy theories. Since then, researchers and adventures have tried to locate the remnants of her missing plane in an effort to solve the mystery surrounding her disappearance only to come up short. That is, until recently when a man from South Carolina believes that he has discovered her missing plane. Also, the historical churches located around the state bring in many residents and tourists to admire their beauty and appreciate the architecture from long ago. But what some visitors may not have hoped for is a ghostly encounter to go along with it. And later, A Goose Creek woman and her daughter go for a drive on a normal afternoon like any other. That is, until they spot a UFO hovering above them.

For those of you who know me personally, you know I love theme parks. And if you’re a fan of this show already, you know I love all things spooky as well. We’re looking into the abandoned theme park in Fort Mill whose eerie remnants can still be seen to this day. Then, a story that's been spinning for decades in South Carolina involves the ghost of a hound that chases people, cars, or anything it encounters on a five-mile section of Old Buncombe Road as it runs through parts of Union County in South Carolina. And later: in 1983, Steven King gave us a chilling tale about a haunted car with his classic book Christine. To most, the concept of a possessed vehicle seems farfetched and fitting for a horror novel. But for one native in Cherokee County, it seems that truth is stranger than fiction.

What started out as a spring break trip to Myrtle Beach turned into a missing person investigation of teenage girl from Rochester, NY. It would be over a decade before the family of Brittanee Drexel would finally get some answers. A crime solved and a killer sentenced, all because he finally confessed. Then, by day, Poinsett Bridge — one of the oldest bridges in the whole state of South Carolina — offers a quiet, remote setting amidst the mountains of northern Greenville County for relaxing and exploring. But by night, the bridge becomes the site of seemingly unexplainable paranormal activity. And later, we’ve had our fair share of cryptids and urban legends in this state, such as the Hound of Goshen and The Lizard Man. But can we now add Bigfoot to that list?

In a classic case of forbidden love, Alice Flagg, a Pawleys Island plantation princess, fell in love with a lumber man by the name of John Braddock. At the hand of of her brother Allard, Alice’s fairly tale romance would never come to be, as she would die of what most would call a broken heart. But to this day, you can still visit her grave where some have witnessed strange happenings. Could the longing for her lost love still be seen from beyond the grave? Plus, Civil War ghost stories are popular among those who consider themselves history buffs and paranormal enthusiasts. But what is it about Fort Fremont that makes it so spooky if it was never home to any battles? Also, The 1837 Bed and Breakfast has been a prime example of Charlestons beautiful architecture and top-notch lodging for those looking to get away. But don’t be surprised if you end up having an extra roommate during your stay.
