Cottageville is a rural community just outside of Walterboro, SC. Still relatively untouched by the massive growth which has taken the Low Country, Cottageville maintains its small town charm.
A close knit community, locals catch up on daily happenings at the Main Street Diner and worship at one of the town's six churches.

Local Lore:
Supposedly, if you drive around the old cemetery three times, go in the middle and flash your lights three times, then get out of the car the people of the cemetery come out and you can hear them walking around, breaking tombstones, and even throwing things.
