This is #24 in our "WEIRD SC" Series which will consist of caches placed at locations where either ghosts, unknown creatures, or just plain weird things have occurred or exist.
We think our State Motto should change to "Smiling Faces, Haunted Places".
On Highway 79 at the SC/NC state line there is a large group of businesses on the SC side of the line that are all out of business. Nightclubs, stripclub, Gas stations, all are gone. Just across the line in Scotland County, NC, they seem to thrive.
While working in the area a local told Aries that back in the 1800's an Indian tribe was "relocated" from this area. During this forced move one of the Indian Shamans cursed the local traders, stating "You will not profit from our lands."
When pressed for more info the old farmer told Aries he didn't know much more, thats just what he had heard all his life. Then Aries noticed a burned out gas station/truck stop right on the SC side of the line. "Well, that one got some help." Aries quipped.
The old farmer smiled and shook his head.
"That's 'cause it was making money." the old timer stated.
Aries asked him who could give permission to hide a cache in this location and with a big grin the old "farmer" said; "Well, I guess I can, It used to be my store."
No, Aries DIDN'T touch him to see if he was real!!!!!
