Her name was Sophia Catherine Nance. The coffin has a glass oval revealing her face. The woman died on January 1853 aged 28, and the coffin was found lying underneath the floorboards of Washington Street United Methodist Church in South Carolina.

Supposedly, a child cracked the glass covering her face, resulting in ring in a sudden rush of air and pollutants, including mould, to enter the casket, which caused the ghostly face covering found today.

When originally installed, these were air tight, and often were filled with a preserver, like alcohol.

Mold creeps me out. Dead bodies also creep me out. So I hate this a lot, thanks! On a side note, I'm surprised there's still organic material and moisture for the mold to feed on after almost 200 years
