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.

The spookiest place in Charleston is an old jail near Colonial Lake – on Franklin Street, if I remember correctly. I get chills just walking by that place in daylight, and it just looks like a place that is haunted. Very creepy indeed. Definitely off the beaten path away from tourist activity.

If anyone lives in NJ there is a place called the “spy House” In No. jersey. I will never go there again. I was standing talking to my daughter when I had the program ripped out of my hand and thrown across the room. I wanted to leave then but was pressured to stay. We walked up the stairs and both of us felt dizzy and nauseous. When we came down one of the attendants heard us and told us a young girl many years ago fell down those stairs and died. For those who don’t believe and want to see if for themselves, go there.

I live in the Charleston area and I’ve walked past the Carriage House Inn plenty of times. Me and my boyfriend were walking back to the car and he suddenly stopped in front of the house and was like “DID YOU SEE THAT?!” The first thing I thought to do was RUN. That’s just me. On other occasions… my aunt and her fiancee went down there and it wasn’t the carriage house but my aunt is some what of a medium… she can see Things Perseid. She decided to take a picture of one of the houses because she said she suddenly felt something inside. She took the picture… brought it home and showed us on the Wii. In the window there were at least 5 ghosts in that window. Transparent but almost a bright enuff white/glow to see it vividly. And then in the other window was a man peeking out from behind the drapes. The Battery….? Haunted Indeed.

I live in summerville about 15 min out side of charleston. There are more hunted place then posted here, Monks Corner cherry hill chapel, Summerville parks graveyard and light road. I have done alot of studies on hauntings in my area. In total i have found around 10-15 haunted places in the charleston, summerville, monks corner, and some small towns in between. All of these towns are 15-20 mins apart and all you have to do is ask and everyone knows where these places are. I have been to the jail and dungeon downtown, yet nothing had hit me as hard as when i went to cherry hill church in monks corner. This and a few other “houses” that have been abandoned for some time are really good places to go yet you can get in trouble for being there. I havent done any video or anything like that but i have had a lot of personal experiences. Do some more research i found a website once that had a list of 30 or more places in these areas that are supposed to be haunted. i have been to a few and nothing happened and a few where alot happened. For non believers come with me one night to cherry hill and i bet you wont be around for long.

I have just returned from Charleston. While there I went on two ghost tours: the old jailhouse and a graveyard. I snapped a picture in the jailhouse when the tour guide felt a cold spot and caught orbs. I took more than a dozen photos in the graveyard and caught just one orb. It’s true that they could just be dust particles, but I don’t think so.

I lived in North Charlston when I was a little girl. I was about seven or so. My family and I lived in one of the newer housing editions at the time, and me and my siblings were always seeing crazy things. We were really too young to know much about ghosts or really even be freaked out by it. But when I think back on all the things that we saw as kids, I know that charelston is haunted.
