Summerville
- Summerville light - The Story goes that a woman had a husband that was
a conductor for a railroad company in Summerville...and he worked
nights. At midnight every night, people could always see her
there, waiting by the tracks with his lunch and a lantern...waiting for
him to stop to eat. One night, he never showed. She was told
that the train had derailed or crashed, and he was beheaded and , of
course, killed. Although they buried his remains, she would never
accept the fact that he was gone, and so, she went to the tracks at
midnight with her lantern and walked up and down, waiting for him.
People of course began to think she was crazy, but she continued this
nightly ritual until her own death. Mysteriously, the light never
stopped coming. This is what my mother told me happens at her
visit to THE SUMMERVILLE LIGHT:
When you go to the tracks, just
before midnight, you can hear all the sounds that are usually heard at
night, crickets chirping, frogs croaking...the breeze blowing....but for
some odd reason, and this has been the case for every person who has
seen THE LIGHT...at midnight, the sounds suddenly just cease. As
if a presence has quieted them momentarily. Then you can see it,
usually its far off, a light and nothing else...coming your way.
If you stick around, THE LIGHT will chase you, as it did my mom and her
friends. They tried to jump in their car and leave and the light
came upon them swiftly, and they heard a BUMP on their car, as they sped
away. When at a safe distance from the sighting, they got out and
looked, and there was a dent on the car, where the lantern hit it.
Union-Rose Hill Plantation-Cry
Baby Bridge-
Right before you get to Rose Hill Plantation, there is an old bridge
with rusted steel frames at the top. Legend has it that, if you park on
the bridge and cut off your car, than you can hear a baby crying and
then see the mother looking for it. One day in the 1950's, a woman threw
her baby off the bridge in spite of her husband. Now, you can see her
looking for the baby at midnight.
Wateree River Swamp Bridge-
Where US 76 crosses the Wateree River between Sumter and Richland

ghostly hitch-hiker since the 1930's. If offered a ride, she gets into
the back seat and says that she is trying to get to Columbia to see her
ill mother. She appears solid and interacts with her host(s). When the
car leaves the bridge on the Richland County side, she is gone. She was
supposedly killed when the bridge was new; her car went off the road at
the bridge entrance and she is still trying to get to Columbia.
