Charleston has amassed a demented reputation, complete with stories of human misery, over the last three centuries. The horror of its past stretches across the city, tainting various locations, from a bar with unwelcome spectral patrons to graveyards filled with families who fell victim to epidemics. Its ties to a devastating war, which spawned the horror-filled Provost Dungeon, only added to its eerie aura.
Charleton’s rich history has made it a hotbed for the strange and unexplained that hide behind the charming facade of this port town. Discover them all tonight on a hair-raising ghost tour with Charleston Terrors.
Blind Tiger Pub
When it comes to the Blind Tiger Pub, the name itself says it all. Coined in the late 1800s, the name was a common phrase that usually described sordid establishments. These places allowed illicit gambling and drinking behind closed doors in an era of increased temperance legislation. The current Blind Tiger Pub pays homage to this side of Charleston’s cultural roots in a historic building that dates back to the early 1800s and boasts many ghostly encounters.
The Great Fire of 1861 decimated much of Charleston. It nearly reached the Mills House Hotel, a still-operational hotel, but was stopped short of devouring it by soldiers and hotel staff’s efforts. Unfortunately, the fire burned many nearby residents, and the hotel was used as a makeshift burn ward. Several residents perished in the hotel from their burns. Though the victims passed, it’s believed many of them still inhabit the hotel.
The city’s colorful history of pirate infestations, including the infamous Blackbeard who took the city hostage in 1718, make this house and its pirate lore a must-see stop on this Charleston ghost tour. When the siege ended, he abandoned many of his shipmates to the city’s forces, who executed every last one of them. Their ghosts can still be heard and seen at their old stomping grounds, forever haunting and seeking revenge.
Charleston may be known as one of the country’s most hospitable cities, but beyond the courtesy and smiles is an abyss filled with terrifying tales of desperation and death. Venture through the darkness that is downtown Charleston and unearth years of unfathomable events that left a permanent stain on this Southern charm.
