The old J.W. Bell Grain and Flour Mill in downtown Spartanburg was the scene of a gruesome murder in August 1929, when T. Earl Robertson lost his mind and axed four of his coworkers in a fit of rage. Robertson believed that six of the workers were involved in a grain embezzling scandal and intended to exclude them from the plot. An injured coworker ran from the building to get help while others held Robertson until authorities arrived.
Robertson eventually took his own life while in jail for the murders. People have heard screams inside, and footsteps and apparitions appear.
Are the victims still inside these old walls in Spartanburg?
