Haunted Charleston: Stories from the College of Charleston, The Citadel and the Holy City

By Ed Macy, Geordie Buxton, Glenna Ellen McKenzie and Julie Scofield

On the historic streets of Charleston, where true life is stranger than fiction, narrators Ed Macy and Geordie Buxton leave embellishment by the wayside to let these stories--in ghastly and sometimes dreadful detail--tell themselves. Combing through the oft-forgotten enclaves of the Holy City, Macy and 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, to name just 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.

He hopes it won’t be his last.
