I'd never heard of them before now, so I did a little googling.  They aren't a new discovery by any means, having been first reported on by a geologist from SC in 1848.  Here's an article about them from the SCGS.

I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.
