On the age-old streets of Charleston, the oft-forgotten enclaves of the Holy City, the authors bring the reader 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 historical events and specific details that are often lost in our general notion of ghosts, each haunting encounter will send chills through the reader's senses. From a bookstore phantom notorious for rearranging the books in perfect vertical stacks, to a gruesome nineteenth-century amputation taking place again in a medical student's apartment, Macy and Buxton offer up stories and essays of a nature more grim and morbid than ever heard of before. Complete with over 30 black and white photographs.
