Episode Synopsis
The ghost town of Chappells is located in the southwest corner of Newberry County, South Carolina. The town was first known as Chappell's Ferry, then Chappell's Depot, then just Chappells. When the new Highway 39 bridge over the Saluda River was built, it bypassed the main street of the town, dooming the remaining businesses.
