Fall is finally settled in and Halloween is right around the corner, so that means Spooky Season is in full effect. And what better way to get in the spirit of things than diving deep into tales of apparitions, mysterious urban legends and other stories of all the things that go bump in the night.
Thrillist compiled a list of the "most haunted place" in every state, finding chilling locations like "old state hospitals, murder sites, homes with talking dolls, and hotels [that] are so disturbing, they've served as the setting for some of the most iconic horror movies."
According to the list, the most haunted spot in South Carolina is the Baynard Ruins, which has had reports of an eerie funeral procession at night. Here's what the site had to say about the reportedly most haunted spot in all of South Carolina:
"The South is crawling with ghosts, especially on former plantations — hoards of evil racist overseers, rightfully damned to roam the grounds for eternity. But unlike the historically preserved plantations offering tours around the region (an entirely different bag of worms), the Baynard Plantation is in ruins. The dilapidation itself is enough to get your stomach in knots, even before the creepiest part: Apparently, if you stick around at night, a freaky funeral procession for namesake William Baynard will pass by. Maybe you'll hear it. Maybe you'll see it or feel it. Either way, this place isn't known for its (living) repeat visitors."
