Nestled in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, Southern Grace Distilleries isn’t just making bourbon—it’s fermenting history, memory, and mystery in the very walls of a former prison complex.
This episode explores the layered haunting of Southern Grace Distilleries, built on the grounds of two former correctional facilities—the 1927 Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility and the 1986 Cabarrus Correctional Center. Though its incarceration history is relatively brief, the land bears deeper scars: Civil War–era enslavement and tragic deaths of enslaved individuals, including children, uncovered by staff research. Paranormal activity is consistently reported across multiple zones—the barrel room (where spirits reportedly react to presence and even reject bald men), the hothouse (a repurposed torture site with palpably oppressive energy), the solitary wing (with music box activations, cold spots, and physical touches), and the bunkhouse (where EMF spikes, dowsing rod responses, orbs, and SLS-captured figures were documented). Even skeptics experienced involuntary dowsing reactions and sensory phenomena. The investigation blends historical rigor with firsthand evidence—EVPs, thermal anomalies, and visual captures—suggesting the site remains energetically active, not from sheer age, but from unresolved human suffering and enduring presence.
