Old Sheldon Church Ruins

Old Sheldon Church Ruins (Beaufort, South Carolina)

Hemophyllis recommends this intriguing site: “The ruins of Sheldon church that was burned in the Revolution, rebuilt and then burned again by Sherman still stand, plus a great graveyard – it is the prettiest ruined church in my memory – great b/w photo op, too. The pics on the web do it no justice. Highly recommended.”

I actually managed to visit the church ruins in March, 2009 and it is every bit the atmospheric, ghostly beauty that Homphyllis implied.  Here’s a gallery of the photos I took with my Holga camera.

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
