Allen AME Church - Edisto Island, SC

Allen’s AME Church is located on a bluff, surrounded by marsh, and on one of the most beautiful roads there is!  It’s the road in “Ace Venture II: When Nature Calls” in which Jim Carry is singing “Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang” at the top of his lungs!  It’s a very beautiful area with mossy covered oaks and salt water marsh… which are all things that make this place creepier at night!

There probably are alligators, snakes, and boogeymen nearby, so take caution and keep your ears open.  The good thing is that it’s pretty far away from any houses, so chances are no one will be around.

This picture is of Botany Bay Road.  These oaks make a canopy over the road for miles.

The problem with the many, many churches on Edisto is that they are all located right off of the main road… the ONE main road that everyone travels on at all times of night.  The good thing about this church is that it’s located far enough back from the road that there is much less of a potential for audio pollution.

I regret at this time that I don’t have any pictures of the church and graveyard, but I will get them and add them soon.  But to better paint the picture of where we were, here is the satellite view of the location:

-Tombstone Knocking-

These are the several knocking sounds we heard on the tombstone of Ezekial White in response to our questioning!  I turned up the audio on the section with the knocks.  As usual, headphones are required…

John: "Mr. Moldy. Whoa... did you hear that? No?"
Katie: [responds negatively and says something about breaking a twig a second ago] "Ezekiel White?"
John: "South Carolina..."
[SEVERAL KNOCKING SOUNDS EMINATE FROM THE TOMBSTONE]
John: "Did you hear that."
Katie: "Uh huh!"
John: "What was that?"
Katie: "No Idea."
John: "It sounded like it came from the tombstone. I mean, that's what... it sounded like a bump bump bump. Did you hear that?"
