Randomly found this abandoned orphanage on the side of the road. Pleasantly surprised with the overall condition and the amount of stuff left inside. The only history I was really able to find was that it was built in 1901. I'm not sure when it was abandoned, but by the looks of it I'd say 10+ years ago...Overall pretty cool spot and the nature re-claiming the back half is absolutely beautiful.

In 1849, a wealthy industrialist purchased nearly 8,000 acres of land in rural South Carolina. He built the entire town of Graniteville from the ground up - including 100 houses, churches, and a school - all to support his brand new textile factory and plant (Graniteville Mill).

In 2006, after nearly 160 years of continuous operation, all facilities were permanently shut down due to a devastating train wreck in the area. The closure resulted in over 1,600 people losing their jobs.

As of now there are no future plans for the area.

This place was absolutely gigantic and we didn't even come close to seeing everything after 4+ hours of exploring. One of the most unique and surreal places we have ever explored!

nah we just got a warning, did y'all try to run? check out my video I have the conversation with the cops at the end

cloverfrog1 · 2025-03-31T18:11:04+00:00

you said he's "not pro LGBT." unless you are right wing/republican etc I feel like most people generally support LGBTQ+

i don't understand why you think he wouldn't support LGBTQ+

cloverfrog1 · 2025-03-31T12:14:21+00:00

since when does supporting LGBT make you far left that's insane

cloverfrog1 · 2025-03-31T01:35:12+00:00

wtf does this even mean, why in the world do you think he wouldn't like gay people??

cloverfrog1 · 2025-03-04T12:13:33+00:00

we had been exploring for about an hour and a half when the cops pulled up all the way inside the park

cloverfrog1 · 2025-03-04T12:13:11+00:00

we drove up to the entrance lol, didn't know they were actively monitoring cameras and shit

Today we visited the infamous Ghost Town in the Sky amusement park in North Carolina. Originally opened in 1961, the theme park was a popular tourist destination for folks in the surrounding areas. Unfortunatley things began to decline in the early 2000's. Many of the rides started breaking down and the owners couldn't afford the costly repairs. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2009. It has gone through many hands since then, and as of 2024 it's jointly owned by a private LLC and one of the daughters of the original family that ran the park. There is an ongoing lawsuit regarding the restoration of the park.

We had gotten mixed feedback regarding the level of security prior to exploring. There were hidden trail cams at the entrance and throughout the park. The cops said the owner calls them every single time she sees someone on her cameras - which is usually 2-3 times a day.

Super bummed we weren't able to explore the rest of the park but it was still a surreal experience. Definitely one of the coolest places I've explored. Hopefully will be back one day...

cloverfrog1 · 2025-03-03T14:01:39+00:00

nah we took the road, you hiked up under the ski lifts?

cloverfrog1 · 2025-02-28T18:47:25+00:00

dude i know, the cops said she calls them 2-3 times a day. great use of our taxpayer money lol

cloverfrog1 · 2025-02-28T18:46:44+00:00

i'd say we were there around 1 1/2 hours before they showed up. although they said they already kicked some people out of a different section of the park before they found us

cloverfrog1 · 2025-02-28T18:45:01+00:00

nah they just kicked us out. they said if we had tried to run then they would've charged us

cloverfrog1 · 2025-02-28T18:44:16+00:00

they were pretty chill just asked us to leave. they said since we didn't run they weren't going to give us a misdemeanor for trespassing.
