Geocache Description:

Just like it's sister cache- "Summerville Light NightCache", this cache is also better found at night, when the area is downright creepy. You are looking for an ammo box. It is NOT in the graveyard!

Strawberry Chapel, also known as Chapel of Ease is quite old and is still used once a year for Easter Service.

A common legend has it, that long ago a little girl-Catherine Chicken was tied to a tombstone overnight as a cruel punishment by the old minister. Some say she died that night, others say she was only traumatized for the rest of her life...either way it is said that her spirit still lingers at this place. People have reported uncanny drops in temperature in certain areas of the graveyard and still others say that some tombstones feel warm to the touch.

A darker, harder to find legend tells of the ghosts of 6 children. The minister at that time period had gone insane and tied 6 little children to the benches inside the church and then burned it down before fleeing never to return. Curiously, there are 6 small child-size gravestones right next to the chapel. If you stop and turn your car off on the railroad tracks right before you turn onto the road the Chapel is on, the children are supposed to try and push your car. Look for tiny fingerprints!

Just past the Chapel is a nice dock on the Cooper River. But, after dark the scenic dock takes on a lonely and foreboding feeling. At times the silhouette of a lonely gray figure can be seen standing on the dock or hovering over the river...

The cache is much closer to the dock than the chapel. Do not attempt to enter the cemetery as it is closed off and could lead to legal trouble.

Original inhabitants include flashlight, parka, belt clip, and and a little toy bird.
