Stories say Julia Legare became unexpectedly ill while visiting family on Edisto Island during the mid-1800s. She slipped into a coma, and doctors couldn't diagnose her and eventually declared her dead. Since preservation and embalming methods were more primitive back then, Legare was buried in a South Carolina mausoleum the same day - a heavy, locked door sealed her inside.
Years later, when the family was preparing to bury another member, they opened the mausoleum door to find Legare's remains not where they left them, but on the floor. They realized she had been in a coma when sealed inside and likely awoke to find herself trapped.
According to legend, the door cracked when they closed it again, and every door attached afterward has been destroyed or broken by an unknown force.
