Haunted Charleston by Sara Pitzer

Haunted Charleston by Sara Pitzer

Among South Carolina's many treasures is Charleston, a city of rich history. Since the first British colonists established Charles Towne in 1670, this city has been a study in contradictions – a beautiful coastal environment, magnificent architecture, and sometimes unspeakable cruelty. Haunted Charleston, a collection of stories of ghosts, mysteries, and paranormal happenings in the Holy City, will leave readers frightened and fascinated. Haunted Charleston includes twenty-five stories from the Ghosts at Dock Street Theater to the Haunted Graveyards, that will send chills up the spines of even the most daring ghosthunters. Each story includes notes on historical significance and local lore and readers will discover just how haunted and spooky this city is. A bibliography, a resources list of contact information to visit the haunted sites, and a brief "Ghost Hunter's Guide" for the region or city, are also included, giving readers the resources to explore the haunted areas for themselves.

Sara Pitzer has been traveling in and writing about the South since 1983. She has walked the Charleston streets, sampled as much low-country cuisine as one woman can, and stayed in many bed and breakfast inns and small hotels. Sara has been a newspaper reporter and columnist and written more than a dozen books about travel and food. Sara once lived in Columbia, South Carolina and now lives in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, an easy drive to Charleston. She is also the author of Myths and Mysteries of North Carolina and North Carolina off the Beaten Path 10th ed. (Globe Pequot Press).
