I’ve read nearly every book written regarding the haunts of Charleston and I must say this is one of my favorites.
Cathy Picken’s takes you on a 159 page journey that never lets you go. Concise and straight to the point she delivers.
The first part of the book is set up like a walking tour of the city. She guides you through 26 points of interest through out the city, telling you about the spooks and the history behind them. What a great read and even better tour. Now you can check out these points of interest on your own. They are:
139 Market Street
Market Street @ Charleston Place
St. Philip’s Graveyard, Church Street (one of my favorite locales in the city)
The Pirate House
Dock Street Theatre
The Pink House
Wagener Bldg
Old Exhange and Provost Dungeon (another fav)
Cabbage Row
Thomas Rose House
Murder of Mrs. Ravenel at Mtg and Water Streets
37 and 39 Meeting Street
Daniel Huger House, 34 Meeting Street
Perroneau House
White Point Gardens (another fav)
Simmons-Edwards House
31 Legare Street
Sword Gates
Gate Posts, 131 Tradd Street
John Stewart House on Tradd Street
Walled Gardens
St. Michael’s Rectory, Meeting Street
St. Michael’s Churchyard
Courthouse
The Streetcar Murder, Meeting Street
Poogan’s Porch
Yep, these are the locales, buy the book for the stories. It’s well worth it….trust me.
The second half of the book deals with Charleston’s Past.
For 159 pages, this book packs a punch.
Highly Recommended!
