15 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.
Tour guide David Eller describes backstage pipe bangs and disappearing props, attributed in local stories to a worker said to have died during construction.

Their reported correspondence is the center of this account.
South Carolina ETV’s educational archive presents two haunting traditions at the Battery Carriage House: an apparent headless figure and a young man associated with a tragic story. The archive classifies the material as folklore. Its presence in an educational broadcast does not establish the historical accuracy of every narrative detail.
Opened in 1903, the Belmont Inn has accounts of a presence called Abraham on the ground floor and a Scottish-looking figure near the stairs. Reported disturbances include knocks and objects changing position. These are the particular experiences behind its inclusion in South Carolina's haunted-inn guide.
The current theatre incorporates the former Planter's Hotel and reopened as a performance venue in 1937. Accounts describe a figure identified as actor Junius Brutus Booth near a balcony box and a woman known as Nettie Dickerson. The reported sightings and their dramatic origin stories are separate claims.

Charleston’s former county jail operated from 1802 to 1939, according to the National Park Service. It later featured in a Ghost Adventures investigation.

Former owners Judy and Mychael Thomas told Azalea Magazine about displaced objects, unexpected noises and a clock that struck after a guest challenged the supposed spirit.

South Carolina ETV producer Mark Adams returned to the USS Yorktown to discuss images he interpreted as ghost photographs, including how they were enhanced.

Guests at the Poinsett have reported an elderly man appearing in rooms and a figure at a third-floor window. The hotel's modern haunting reputation rests on those sightings.
