Christ Church Episcopal

The oldest church in Greenville, established in 1820. This Gothic Revival church has served the community for over two centuries and witnessed countless baptisms, weddings, and funerals.

Christ Church Episcopal, the oldest church in Greenville, carries two centuries of spiritual energy within its Gothic Revival walls. As the site of countless baptisms, weddings, and funerals since 1820, the church has witnessed the full spectrum of human emotion. Some of that energy appears to have remained. Parishioners and visitors have reported seeing figures in period dress in the sanctuary, particularly during quiet moments of prayer. The sounds of hymns being sung have been heard when the church stands empty, as if phantom congregations still gather for worship. Cold spots are encountered throughout the building, and candles have been known to flicker or extinguish without explanation. Some visitors have reported feeling comforting presences during moments of grief, as if former parishioners are offering support from beyond. The church cemetery, adjacent to the building, adds to the supernatural atmosphere. Staff members have reported seeing figures among the gravestones that vanish when approached. The church's long history as a place of worship, community, and mourning has created a spiritually charged environment.
