I was born & raised in Charleston, SC. I moved to Pittsburgh 4 years ago with my husband. I grew up hearing and reading the stories of ghosts & hauntings in and around Charleston. They are all true. If you ever visit the beautiful Holy City, visit the Old Exchange Buikding, The market, Poogan’s Porch, Boone Hall Plantation where portions of Gone with the Wind were filmed, Middleton Plantation and Magnolia Plantation. North & South with Patrick Swayze was filmed in Charleston as was Scarlett & the Patriot. Army Wives is also filmed there on the old Navy Base in North Charleston. Visit the Hunley in North Charleston. God Bless the South. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God.

There are a lot of ghost stories and I will give the abridged version of the one where I work (City Hall, Downtown Charleston). We have at least one ghost and he is believed to be the ghost of General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. Beauregard is the man who led the attack against Fort Sumter starting the war. While he was stationed here from 1861-63 City Hall was his headquarters. Strange things that have happened: Unexplainable footsteps (ie. old military style bootsteps in the attic when no ones up there), the sound of windows ratteling at night when there’s no wind, the elevator running on its own at night and on weekends (I’ve heard many reports about that). A lot of people don’t know about our elusice ghost. He’s just mischevious, not menacing. It’s one of the interesting things about working in old historical buildings. I would like to apologize now if I made any typos or grammatical errors.

I am currently a freshman at the College of Charleston. Before I came to Charleston I had never experienced anything in my life that could be attributed to paranormal activity. But within the first month of moving into the college strange things began to happen in my dorm room. I currently live in Joe E. Berry dorm at the college. This dorm sits on the spot where the Charleston Orphan House used to sit. The Orphan House burnt down in the late 19th century. I have experienced many things in this buidling. Yes I know it sounds crazy to say that my dorm building is haunted but if you would like to know what me and my roommates and friends have experienced for the past eight months email me and I’m sure you will be intrigued.

I have lived in Charleston for 26 years and I have had many experiences with paranormal activity. I have lived in houses where I experienced things and I have been Downtown (not on any tours) when I’ve had feelings that my friends and I were not alone. I haven’t experienced anything at The Battery where I’ve read is supposed to have activity but I do not like to be Downtown after sundown. The real reason anyone should come to Charleston is to see the beauty of the area and to just bask in the culture of my hometown.

I lived in Chucktown for many, many years and spent countless evenings walking downtown and along the Battery. Never once saw anything supernatural. Now, the Dock Street Theater is a completely different story. I was involved in production work on several plays there and have experienced several unexplainable things which scared the daylights out of me.

Yeah, Charleston is a great place. I was stationed there for three years and lived there for five…I did experience some things, non in downtown though, I lived in a horrible little place in Goosecreek. As far as the slave market…from what ive been told (not saying this is a fact) by two seperate historians (charlestons full of them) slaves were never sold there, supposedly its a marketing scheme (?) Any way, battery was my “lets get sobered up before hitting the next bar” place…even drunk I never saw anything. Beautiful area though.
