As one of the oldest cities in America, Charleston also has a reputation for being one of the most haunted. And what better time than Halloween to delve into the city's ghostly past.
Battery Carriage House Inn
Battery Carriage House Inn on South Battery has been called "Charleston's Most Haunted Inn" due to the fact that two different ghosts are in residence. One is the Gentleman Ghost also known as the Gentleman Caller who haunts Room 10 and is very fond of the ladies because he only makes himself known to female guests. Thought to be a young man with a broken heart who jumped to his death from the roof, he lies beside women in their beds and will sometimes drape a ghostly arm over them. Ever the gentleman, the ghost quickly disappears if a woman acts afraid.
The other ghost at the inn is the Headless Torso and has been spotted in Room 8.
