The Haunting
Mechanicsville is a reportedly haunted cemetery in Florence, South Carolina. Reports tied to the site usually focus on disembodied voices, screams, or footsteps and doors, lights, or objects moving on their own.
Reported account from HauntTracker: Montrose graveyard - The old Montrose church mysteriously burned down during the 1800's and was then rebuilt and renamed Mount Hope Church. That burned down or was moved a lot later (no evidence of the church stands now). The graveyard was in such disrepair that they put a collective marker outside of it.
Then, during the 50's or 60's there was supposedly a huge black man that took children up there to murder them. Witnesses report hearing them screaming and crying and see a huge black shape, a pair of red eyes, & a little boy wearing a gray "ante-bellum" outfit standing behind one of the only tombstones left there (Joseph is the name on the stone). The area has become a place for people to trash and vandalize, and a place for late night drinking. Very sad really.
If visiting, treat it as an active public or historic place and follow posted rules.
