See website for information.

The Dock Street Theatre, located in the heart of Charleston's Historic District at 135 Church Street, is within easy walking distance of many downtown accommodations.

In 1800, the elegant Planter's Hotel was built on this site. After the Civil War, the hotel fell into ruin, and in the 1930's the Federal Works Progress Administration created the Dock Street Theatre within the shell of the old Planter's Hotel. Known as one of the most haunted places in Charleston, it is home to the spirit of a prostitute as well as the father of John Wilkes Booth.

-Exchange Plantation, Plantersville.
Submitted by R.F.W. Allston: "This plantation home on the PeeDee River is haunted by the ghost of a slave woman who reportedly was denied her meal one night by the overseer after coming back from the rice fields too late. The Master kicked the cauldron of food over and the old woman swore that the plantation would never be held by one owner for very long. The Plantation, which was known by the rather creepy sounding name "Asylum Plantation," soon fell under a succession of different owners and was soon called Exchange Plantation. The ghost manifests itself occasionally to the colored help around the plantation who are no longer frightened. You can also hear the ghost walking up the old stairs and feel it tap you on the shoulder in your sleep. The Plantation seems to have broken the woman's curse since the Plantation has been owned by the Ragsdale family since the 1930's."
-507 Prince Street, Georgetown.
Submitted by R.F.W. Allston: "The house at 507 Prince Street in Georgetown sits across the street from the Winyah Indigo Society Hall. The house was used as a hospital by the Union Army during their occupation of Georgetown. Hundreds of operations were performed on the dining room table. In a corner of the room, which is now a closet, there is a blood stain on the old heart pine floors that will not go away. The floor can be sanded and restained but, in a few days, the stain will pop back through. Sometimes in the middle of the night you will hear a horrible crash coming from downstairs that sounds like a load of silverware being thrown to the ground. When you go to investigate the noise, the house is in perfect order. There is also an incident where my brother was tapped on the shoulder in the night and awoke to a woman wearing an apron, who he said looked like a nurse, putting her finger to her lip and telling him to, "Shhhh."

See website for information.
*Website
South Carolina State Museum & SC Revenue of Taxation is home to a ghost. The Museum was once a mill and one of the workers back then had his head chopped off in an accident.

-MYRTLE BEACH
Hermitage
South Carolina's most famous ghost can be found here. The house was built in 1848 by Dr. Allard Belin Flagg. He lived there with his mother and sixteen-year-old sister Alice. Dr. Flagg was very dominant and protective of his younger sister. When Alice was engaged to a traveling salesman shortly after her debutante ball, she had to wear the ring on a ribbon around her neck to hide it from her brother. But the girl took sick with malaria, and her brother discovered the ring. In a fit of rage, he tore the ribbon from her neck and hid the ring. As Alice lay on her deathbed, all she asked for was her engagement ring, but it was never returned to her. Today, her spirit returns from the dead to look for it. Her face has been seen looking out the round window from her second-floor bedroom and reflected in mirrors in the house.
The Hermitage is located on U.S. Highway 17, south of Myrtle Beach at Murrell's Inlet. The mailing address is: The Hermitage, Route 1 Box 29A, Murrell's Inlet, SC 29567. Phone: 803-357-1205
-GEORGETOWN
Hampton Plantation
The ghost of Hampton House makes itself known "by a remarkably regular series of sounds" coming from the bedroom over the dining room area: first, a quiet rocking sound, then three distinct raps, and finally the creepy sound of a body being dragged from a northwest to a southeast corner of the room. Sounds of a man's sobbing and a chair that rocks itself are reported in the library downstairs. The house was built in 1735 by a family of strict Huguenot immigrants, the Rutledges. In the 1830s, John Henry Rutledge, disconsolate because he was not allowed to marry the woman he loved, sat down in a rocker in the library, put a gun to his head, and pulled the trigger. In 1937, one of his descendants, Archibald Rutledge, explored the old passageways in the house and found barrels of valuable antiques, including hundreds of gold coins dating from 1795. No one has ever been able to explain the strange sounds that emanate from the bedroom.
Hampton is nineteen miles south of Georgetown on U.S. Route 17. Signs mark the turnoff for Hampton at Rutledge Road, near the South Santee Bridge. Hampton Plantation, 1950 Rutledge Road, McClellanville, SC 29458. Phone: 803-546-9361
