Charleston tourists flood the downtown streets every year rustling to see all the sights. Charles Town as it was founded in the late 1600's is home to a lot more than national history. Rumor has it, there’s a lot more lurking in Charleston than most of us think we know. One of most haunted places in Charleston is known better as Dockstreet Theatre. Originally constructed around 1809 as Planter’s Hotel by the Calder family of Charleston. It’s said that there are two entities that continuously wander around the theatre. Another popular place in Charleston to visit is The Battery House Carriage Inn. This historical inn is home to two ghosts of conflicting personalities. Neither of them are known but both have been seen by countless guests. My favorite spooked place is Boone Hall Plantation, it’s rumored that there’s a soldier many people have witnessed and it appears that he’s trying to remove a bullet from an injured comrade. There are over 20 “haunted” places in Charleston and more than enough things to ensure a ghostly good time!
