Located on the backroads of Kershaw County, you may stumble across the old Cool Springs Plantation. The plantation was built back in the mid 1800′s by the Boykin Family. The plantation was owned up until the 1970′s by the family. Somewhere along the line, a man by the name of Dixie Boykin somehow held ownership of the plantation. There was no exact reason given for his cause of death. Dixie was ‘fond’ of wine and, if you visit the plantation, always set out a glass of wine for the former farmer. Other things menitoned were seeing a man in early 1900′s attire as well as hearing music from the same era.

I persuade all of you to click here and order Tally Johnson’s book about Ghost Stories in the Pee Dee Region of South Carolina. This is where most of the stores on our site come from.

Will is VERY close to the completion of his book. He was hoping for the book to have a late November release, but due to circumstances, he was unable to accomplish this. In the following days, look for information about the book. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

 

We are looking for some towns to visit throughout South Carolina to feature on our site. If you have any recomendations, email us and tell us the name of your town, or any other town.

Thanks STSC

Site Photographer Mitchell Licht visited the BMW Plant in Spartanburg a few weeks ago and got a good photo.

Will Cobb will have two articles in two different papers tomorrow. They will both be about local legends of Cherokee County. The stories consist of the legendary Booger Jim, the Gaffney Strangler, Lee Roy Martin, the spooky Rock House Road, and the chilling tale of Limestone College. The article will be featured in the Blacksburg Times and the Cherokee Chronicle. It’s a great read so get one tomorrow!

Small Towns SC Book Release Announced:

Will Cobb’s book has been in the works for close to a year and a half now. He announced today that his book is set to come out for a November Release, and if not then, by early December. The book features numerous interviews, photos, and stories about South Carolina, and not to mention years of history and revolutionary war battles that led South Carolina to be where it is today. It includes 8 Counties across the Upcountry of South Carolina, including Greenwood, Abbeville, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Newberry, Laurens, Chester, and York.
