Sherman Carmichael: South Carolina Mysteries

The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a program on Oct. 23 by local author Sherman Carmichael on eerie stories from South Carolina’s past.

Sherman Carmichael has been interested in ghosts, UFO's and other strange things since an early age. Many of the stories he wrote throughout his school years were on the strange and unknown. At the age of 16, he subscribed to Fate Magazine and that led him to start investigating the paranormal.

Carmichael has visited many sites with a haunted history. In his early years, he wrote many stories on South Carolina ghosts for several newspapers. With hundreds of folders of research, Carmichael decided to write a book. In March 2011, "Forgotten Tales of South Carolina" was published by The History Press in Charleston. Other books by Carmichael include "Legends & Lore of South Carolina," "Mysterious Tales of Western North Carolina," "Mysterious Georgia," Mysterious South Carolina" and "Eerie South Carolina."

The program will begin at 1 p.m. in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street in Conway. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (843) 915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.
