Book Overview

Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder ... let your imagination run wild as you read about Charleston's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the pirates hung at Battery Point, but perhaps you haven't heard about:

  • Provost Dungeon, considered one of the worst American prisons of all time for its torturous punishments and is incredibly active with ghostly happenings;
  • The Woman in Black at Poogan's Porch restaurant, an apparition that makes her presence known to employees and patrons alike; and
  • The USS Yorktown, permanently docked in Charleston Harbor and brimming with tales of tragedies and hauntings.
