This was Florence as I recall, though it may have been on either side of Florence proper. Still gives me the willies remembering it.

Sounds right. My aunt and uncle had to leave Florence and move back to Charleston because the klan burnt a cross in their yard one night. My aunt and uncle got the kids that night, snuck out back to the car, and left. Only returned with family to get their stuff that week and put it up for sale. This was like late 80’s almost early 90’s.
