A couple went to the graveyard and on the right side the wind was not blowing, then you walk past a big old oak tree in the center of the graveyard, the wind nearly knocked the wife down. According to legend the dog belonged to a drifter that was wrongly accused of murder and hanged.

The ghost dog doesn''t appear to everybody, they have been out there all times of the day and even around midnight and have seen nothing."

Now a modern bridge crosses the river and when you stop on the bridge there is no sound of running water. This whole area is in a small community called Crowville. Once you cross over into Crowville you get the feeling like you aren''t supposed to be there."


Flag Lake /Molly's Rock

: "It''s out in the middle of nowhere. Its not really a lake, but one was supposed to be there. The construction workers must have been scared off because of these strange things. On the hill there is a cemetery where something is defiantly wrong. There is a long row of gravestones that all say the people committed suicide. (Twenty years ago) witnesses report they were out there with their girlfriends. They were in an older truck that didn''t have any problems. They said that the area around got as bright as the light of day and they suddenly had the feeling that something didn''t want them there. The driver wound the starter almost completely off that truck trying to get out of there and after the light went away the truck started right up. - March 2008 Update: This could be a place called Molly''s Rock, which is a part of the Sumter National Forest. The cemetery is in a posted area and can not be trespassed on. There is also rumor of a vanishing house."


West End Cemetery

: "The Bride Of West End - on certain nights you can see the dreary form of a lady in a wedding dress sitting in the trees, standing by her grave, or roaming the fields next to the cemetery. She is said to be waiting on her star-crossed lover to come and pick her up to go to their wedding."
