Leave embellishment by the wayside and let these ghastly and sometimes dreadful stories of the historic streets of Charleston tell themselves! Combing through the oft-forgotten enclaves of the Holy City, where true life is stranger than fiction, authors Ed Macy and Geordie Buxton bring readers face to face with a group of orphans who haunt a College of Charleston dorm, a Citadel cadet who haunts a local hotel and the specter of William Drayton at Drayton Hall Plantation - just to name a few. Based on historic events and specific details that are often lost in most ghost stories, this collection of haunting tales sparks curiosity about what figure might still be lurking in the alleyways of Charleston's storied streets.

Charleston, South Carolina, famous for its magnolia and azalea gardens, its Battery, its plantations, and its key role in early American history has certainly had its share of ghosts. They stalk the halls of townhouses once famous for gracious living and romance; they inhabit lonely stretches of moss-draped roads; and they roam the deserted garden paths of the old plantations outside the city. Charleston Ghosts brings to life an intriguing group of personalities who act out their fateful roles in true-to-legend style. “Eighteen delightful ghost tales about Charleston and the Lowcountry told as only a native Charlestonian could tell them.”—Charleston News and Courier

Celebrated tour guides and writers Geordie Buxton and Ed Macy invite you to voyage into the fathoms-deep waters of the Holy City with their new collection, Haunted Harbor. This cache of macabre, eerie and never-before-told stories includes tales of strange occurrences at Castle Pinckney, the reappearing face of a mysterious soldier at Fort Sumter, the influence of real-life pirates on Sullivan's Island resident Edgar Allen Poe, the unexplained sounds of Seneca guns and many more. Determined to combat the usual vague, repetitive ghost stories, and armed with a chilling repetoire of spectral lore, Buxton and Macy have researched unique and ghastly tales that contain "real historical bonds or tangible specificity." Haunted Harbor drips with detailed stories of the pirates, military soldiers, prisoners and sailors who stalked the Charleston waterfront on ship and on foot hundreds of years ago, and who have refused to leave.

A collection of fantastical and macabre Gullah-inspired folklore that illuminates African-American life in nineteenth-century South Carolina. You ask for a story. I will tell you one, fact for fact and true for true. . . . So begins “Crook-Neck Dick,” one of twenty-three stories in this beguiling collection of Charleston lore. John Bennett’s interpretations of the legends shared with him by African-descended Charlestonians have entertained generations. Among them are tales of ghosts, conjuring, superhuman feats, and supernatural powers; accounts of ingenuity, humor, terror, mystery, and solidarity will enchant folklorists, students of Charleston history, and all those who love a good ghost story. Julia Eichelberger, the Marybelle Higgins Howe Professor of Southern Literature and an executive board member of the Center for Study of Slavery at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, provides an introduction. “A collection of folk story, myth, drolleries, macabre unreason . . . old tales of death, mystery, bizarre incredibilities, diabolic influence, demanding ghosts, buried treasure, enchantments, miracles, visitations, and the dead that are not dead.” —Kirkus Reviews

Now, for the first time, Berkeley County ghost stories have been collected in a single volume bound to frighten and chill even the bravest of readers. Join local author and investigator Bruce Orr as he recounts the spine-tingling stories behind these apparitions, including the spirits of early colonists that still linger in the pines, the feared Cymbee water spirits of the Gullah culture and the dreaded Cherokee witch Spear Finger, who craves the livers of unsuspecting victims.
