The Journey
Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon
Stand across from the historic Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon, a site steeped in chilling history. During the Revolutionary War, this building served as a prison, and some say the tormented cries of prisoners past still echo through the area. Feel the weight of history as you imagine the suffering endured within those walls, a chilling introduction to Charleston's haunted legacy.
Nettie Dickenson's Grave
Search for the final resting place of Nettie Dickenson, a tragic figure whose story has become entwined with local lore. While the specific details of her life might be shrouded in mystery, her ghost is said to linger, a testament to the enduring power of love, loss, and the supernatural. Discover the rumors surrounding her and consider the stories that cling to her gravesite.
Cemetery Entrance (Weeping Woman)
Venture to the threshold of the cemetery, where the Ghost of the Weeping Woman is said to appear. This spectral figure, forever mourning a lost love or a tragic fate, embodies the sorrow and heartbreak that linger within the cemetery walls. Listen closely for her mournful cries and feel the palpable sense of grief that permeates the air.
Location of the Ghost That Walks Below
Delve into the mysteries surrounding the 'Ghost That Walks Below,' a shadowy presence rumored to haunt the underbelly of Charleston. While its origins are shrouded in darkness, it embodies the hidden secrets and forgotten histories that lie beneath the city's charming facade. Feel the chill as you consider the unseen forces that may lurk just beneath your feet.
Cemetery Entrance (Revolutionaries Past)
Stand outside the cemetery gates and contemplate the Ghosts of Revolutionaries Past. Charleston played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, and many patriots found their final resting place here. Imagine their spirits still guarding the city they fought to liberate, their presence a reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom. Reflect on their dedication and unwavering resolve.
Poogan's Porch
Visit Poogan's Porch, a historic Charleston restaurant rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a friendly canine. Poogan, a neighborhood stray, adopted the restaurant as his home for many years. While he may only have graced this world in dog form for eight of those years, he has guarded this porch for 40. Feel the warmth of his loyal spirit as you learn about his story and the legacy he left behind.
Cemetery Entrance (Anna & Edgar Allan)
Return to the cemetery's edge and seek out the Ghost of Anna, eternally searching for her love, Edgar Allan—likely alluding to Edgar Allan Poe. While the connection to Poe might be apocryphal, Anna's story speaks to the enduring power of love and the tragic consequences of loss. Feel the desperation of her endless search as you contemplate the mysteries of the human heart.
Old Charleston City Jail (Outside Gate)
Conclude your tour at the Old Charleston City Jail, standing just outside its imposing gates. This infamous prison housed some of the city's most notorious criminals, and the Ghost of Lavinia, is said to haunt its grounds. Listen closely for her chilling whispers and feel the weight of the jail's dark history. Imagine the suffering endured within those walls.
Location of the Woman in Black
Listen to the tale of the "Woman in Black," a spectral figure often associated with mourning and tragedy. Across various cultures, sightings of a 'woman in black' foretell sorrow or loss. Hear the local lore surrounding this spectral woman and let the eerie atmosphere heighten your imagination.
