The Battery
Many pirates captured by the British were held, hanged, and then dumped into the ocean in this area. It is said that their restless spirits still roam about the premises.

I go to Charleston every year, I take tours and try to hear new things of the history. I have heard of the British hanging the pirates at the Battery…but I have not heard of hauntings out there. Charleston is a place to defnately go if you wanna learn about hauntings. But Even my aunt who grew up in Charleston has not recalled a story of pirate ghosts.
If anyone has more info on this….I’d like to read it.

Listen ya’ll, I have lived in Charleston area for like over 25 yrs and I have been in the huses, on the tours, hung out at the Battery, even sober! Only one time did I ever see anything freaky or creepy or whatever you wanna call it. It was on Tradd St. But the Battery was not hildin any spirits, pirate or otherwise. I am unbiased on the subject of hauntings, so i am not here for any other reason but curiosity!

OMG ya’ll make us Charlestonians sound so unintelligent. The stories of the ghosts are just that stories, Every year during Halloween, my daughter and I catch the haunted tours. We get a kick out of watching the faces of the tourists. It is all in the way YOU perciweve it. If you believe in ghosts then you will see them if not it’s a great history lesson.

i lived in charleston for many years and i took several tours and the battery is certainly a haunted place there are several stories that are not mentioned on any sites that iv seen but i have been a 1 hand witness to and i dont touch drugs ty vm but it would scare you mindless freaks to even step foot there after dark!!! i have been to all points in the battery and surrounding areas and all of them have “hot spots” go and tell me then ok

i lived in charleston for many years and i have been to the battery and surrounding areas and i tell you that you can not have the horrible history charleston has and not have residue left behind! number one do you not recall that charleston was the number one city that housed the slaves? hence the old slave market downtown charleston umm wake up peeps ok dont act like you have been there when you most likely are still in your mommas house. go and see for yoursleves and i do not do drugs ever!!!

Wow….I don’t know if I sould LOL or what. Sorry guys I want born and raised in Charleston and nope nothing on the battery. Now, if you want the **** scared of you then there is a place on sullivan’s that you are not a loud to enter nor does anyone talk about it anymore. There are a set of hills which has an old, I mean old as in the fort times, jail. It has a couple of interesting things going on there….if you try it remeber a couple of things…a big group..lots of back-up on lights..tell only a few people you are going there..for the just in case…and DON’T GET CAUGHT! (By the law because you are breaking the law.) Enjoy.
Comment by suthernmom | 10.22.2007 | 12:11 pm
all this is true. i go to the battery about once ayear and i have seen the ghosts myself when i was younger since then i refuse to go back.
Comment by Glennda | 11.10.2007 | 1:27 pm
I am a charlestonian and I am offended about how others talk about my city! There are in fact ghost and I have never spent a damn dime on any of those dumb tours. I went on a tour of the old jail house and yes it was pretty lame. If you want to see and hear real ghost you have to be open minded and know the right spots to go to in Charleston and the outskirts of Charleston. I have seen and heard plenty of things. I don’t smoke crack, as you can see and I am spelling correctly and using proper grammar unlike the rest of you who can’t not spell or speak proper english. There is a story of Edward Teach, Blackbeard! Hmmm! Look that up! Just so you know they chopped his head off and his buddy Bonnett was hung downtown Charleston! Many pirates came here, because we are right of the coast of atlanta and it was far enough away from the caribbean islands where they usually stole treasure from other pirates! Any their ghosts do infact exist!

Its a good story. but its just too short. If you were to make the story a little longer and reseach it more then I think you should be able to write horror books.
GOOD LUCK!

Wow, there are some interesting people responding to this!
I have lived in Charleston for several years and while there are many stories about hauntings, and there are ghost tours for the tourists, the truth is that Charleston is a beautiful city that has a lot of mystique surrounding it. The city is very old and many things have happened here over the years. It’s easy to believe that ghosts tour the city, and you really don’t have to believe it, but the city is conducive to tales from the crypt so it’s best to just have a little fun with it.
Comment by Timmer | 02.11.2008 | 1:05 pm
i have to agree with Timmer on his point. people do tend to take little things and blow tehm out of proportion. i lived in charleston most of my live, so i spent a lot of time at the battery and surrounding areas. ive never had much of an experiance. i thought i heard footsteps once but thats about the extent of it.
