Thomas Rose House
Dr. Ladd traveled from Rhode Island to seek his fortune in South Carolina many years ago. While taking up residence in this house, he got in an argument with another man, so they decided to settle the disagreement with a duel. The next morning, Dr. Ladd had decided that a duel was not the solution, so he fired his gun into the air. The other man, who was still quite angry from the previous day, shot Dr. Ladd’s kneecaps out. After three weeks of agony, he died of gangrene. He is often reported to be seen in the house, especially in times of distress.
we would like to come visit to see if there’s any paranormal activity.
Please contact us if there’s any possibility of us staying overnight.

Okay, now this house is actually haunted. Charleston has a number of old mansions that are now open for the public, and also for private tours. This house happens to be one of them. Visitors get a tour of the house, and learn some of it’s history. I’ve been on the tour many times, and although nothing paranormal has happened to me, my little sister did belive that someone was tapping her shoulder when we were the only ones around.

This is a true story. Dr. Joesph Ladd Brown is his real name and is known here in Charleston SC as the Whislting Ghost of Charleston. I believe his residence is on Tradd ST. In the historical part of downtown Chas. The duel was over a women. You can look more into this on the web. He is believed to be a great Uncle of mine. My Grandmother on my Fathers side maiden nmae is Ladd. More info is available on the internet, just research Joesph Ladd Brown.

You leave readers guessing its not the best thing to do.You should at least have the reader amused or astanished by the story. But otherwise, it was a very good story.
