‘24 Hours on Folly Beach’
FOLLY BEACH — This island draws its name from its once-densely forested coastline, an area known in Old English as a "folly." Such foliage can still be found at the old Coast Guard station at the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve. The inlet has a boneyard beach similar to the much larger coast of Botany Bay, just south of Charleston.
Folly Beach had a significant role during the Civil War, occupied by Union troops as a base by which to establish control of Charleston Harbor and retake Fort Sumter.
After the war, the island was basically abandoned.
Fast forward to 1925, when the first pavilion popped up, expanding years later to include a pier, boardwalk and oceanfront hotel.
George Gershwin later spent a summer in a beachfront cabin near DuBose Heyward’s Folly Beach house that Heyward called Follywood while working on the musical "Porgy and Bess."
As the island's popularity continued to grow, a fire destroyed the pier, pavilion and hotel in 1957.
Not long after, Folly Beach was brought back to life with a new pier and 1,700-foot boardwalk, along with the addition of a Ferris wheel and other carnival-like offerings.
In 1973, Folly Beach became a city.
For the last 50 years, this beach town nicknamed the "Edge of America" has served as a popular destination for Charleston-area locals and tourists alike.
Folly Beach tourism season is from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Just before the end of that season in August, The Post and Courier photo staff spent 24 hours documenting life in this funky beach town.
**The consequences of these cursed rituals are said to still linger to this day. Locals claim to have witnessed strange occurrences, such as unexplained noises and sightings of shadowy figures. Some have reported feeling a lingering sense of unease and dread in certain areas of the beach, as if an evil presence remains.** It is important to note that these stories are deeply rooted in folklore and superstition, with little concrete evidence to support the existence of cursed rituals. However, the power of belief cannot be underestimated, and many visitors to Folly Beach cannot help but be intrigued by the tales of the island's dark past. **Whether these cursed rituals are real or not, Folly Beach continues to attract visitors from all over the world. The allure of its pristine shores and lively atmosphere far outweigh any potential fears of curses or hauntings. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of superstition and folklore, the beauty and charm of a place can endure.**.
