These 14 Stupendously Eerie Happenings In South Carolina Will Make You Think Twice
Weird, eerie, creepy, supernatural, uncanny. These are all words we use to describe phenomena that we can’t readily explain in scientific terms. Words that we use to help us understand something that we have heard or seen that doesn’t fit in the normal spin of the world. However, these happenings do fit in our world. They happen every, many times a day, all over the world and South Carolina is no exception. From the occurrence of raining alligators to seeing extinct flying creatures, we stand proud in all our weirdness!
and onto J. L. Smith's cotton farm in 1877 where they went about their merry way of doing what foot-long alligators do.
Aiken, SC, October, 1886. Rain mysteriously fell on ONLY two graves in the town cemetery from early that morning until late in the night. People came from all over to watch it happen.
On September, 4, 1886 in Charleston, SC, warm stones fell on the News & Courier. It is reported the stones ranged in size from pebbles to chicken eggs.
when you can wait for them to fall from the sky! That's exactly what happened in June of 1901 at Tiller's Ferry, SC. Hundreds of small catfish, trout, and perch fell with the rain and was seen swimming in the puddles left by the rain.
Well, in 1969, Chester, SC didn't have that problem. It seems the Borden company had faulty vents and every time they would clog it would throw puffs of creamer into the air. Can you imagine what it was like when it was raining or when the dew fell in the morning? Ewwwww.
Just outside of Lancaster, SC, off Hwy. 521, you will find what is thought to be the oldest crop circle in America, however, this is no ordinary crop circle. It is said that if anything is put inside the circle it will be removed to the outside of it by morning. It is 40 ft. in diameter and no life is known to grow in the circle. One local story says that a scout troop set up a tent inside the circle one night and went to sleep. The next morning when he awoke, him and his tent were outside of the circle, however, the tent was still set up with the stakes in the ground and all.
A guy by the name of Jody Pendarvis decided that he was going to make all welcome to South Carolina and he wasn't talking about just local people. He built the one and only UFO Welcome Center in his backyard in Bowman, SC.
It goes by many names, but it is the Lizard Man. It was first sighted in 1988. It scared the a poor local boy to death and has since been seen in other places as well as shredding cars with its nails.
then I suppose Bigfoot has everything else. It was August 1983 near Liberty, SC when this particular sighting occurred. The gentleman was on his way home when a car in front of him ran off the road. He got out to help them and they recounted that they just missed a large black creature and asked if he had seen it as well. He said no and went back to get a rope to pull the women back onto the road when he ran into it himself. He said that it was standing about 10 to 15 feet in front of him, was well over 6 ft tall, red eyes, and smelled like rotting meat. He then grunted at him and walked into the forest...
It seems that in 1994 at a soccer exercise in Clinton, SC, a large flying bird "as big as a plane" was seen flying very high in the sky. Four or five people saw it, but most shrugged it off in disbelief. Was it real?
A 26-year-old guy was arrested not long ago because it was reported that he came into his local Walmart supposedly brandishing a gun. When the police got there he was sitting on the floor between the registers and drunk.
On May 5, 2009, at around 9 p.m. a security officer was making his rounds at a warehouse when he saw a bright golden orb hovering not as high as a plane. He thought it might have been a flare but there was no movement. Then two more appeared. All of them stayed motionless in the air for about a minute before moving off towards the east with no signs of smoke, steam, or trail.
It was May 23, 2014. A HUGE towering hailstorm was spotted over South Carolina. Really out of the norm for us. NASA photos showed that the storm was towering at 50-55,000 feet (normal being 10-20,000). That day the storm dumped golf ball sized hail doing damage to roofs, cars, and scared many people.
14. A scene from Ghostbusters or a strange cloud we have never seen before?
I often wonder what is really out there? I wonder if Bigfoot exists and if Nessie is real. Is it is a possibility? Have these people seen things from that realm? The answers will never be clear unless we see it for ourselves. Have you seen something odd that you would like to share? Please, go ahead and share in the comments below!
