Ghosts of the Carolina Coasts

by Terrance Zepke

The frightening, the bizarre, and the unexplained abound in this collection of tales that will make your hair stand on end. Taken from real-life occurrences and from Carolina Lowcountry lore, these thirty-two ghost stories take place in prominent historic structures of the region, many of which stand today. Discover what the history books don't tell you. Make sure the doors are locked as you read about: Joe Baldwin, whose headless body once roamed Maco's train tracks in "Mysterious Light at Maco Station;" What happened to grave robbers and curious kids when they came too close to the "Cursed Crypt;" The drops of blood that continuously appeared on the floorboards of the Cape Romain Lighthouse, the scene of a murder years before, in "Murder at Cape Romain;" The mysterious séance that took place at the Poplar Grove Historic Plantation in 1986—which no one will talk about—in "Horses' Hooves."
