If you visit Pawleys Island,
you may be greeted by a pair of friendly terriers frolicking at the edge
of the ocean. If you find yourself at Wedgefield Plantation on a moonlit
night, on the other hand, you may come face to face with a
pistol-packing soldier amid the sound of hoofbeats and gunfire.
You should feel neither
welcomed nor threatened, however, for things are not always as they seem
in Georgetown County, South Carolina. The Pawleys Island terriers and
the British soldier of Wedgefield are merely a sampling of the ghosts
that reside in one of America's most haunted places.
Readers of the 19 stories in More
Ghosts of Georgetown will hear moans from the sunken Union flagship Harvest
Moon and the thump of a peg leg on an empty floor of the Rice
Museum. They will see the lights of a long-lost schooner off Murrells
Inlet and witness the agony of a Georgetown County hag as she wriggles
out of her salt-soaked skin. From the Hanging Tree at Lamberttown to the
mysterious light of Lucas Bay, they will visit a place supernatural like
no other.
