This After Dark Tour Of South Carolina’s Most Haunted Plantation Will Utterly Terrify You
Editor’s note: This property is a South Carolina State Historic Site, managed by South Carolina Parks & Recreation. They do not promote the site as haunted. Reports of hauntings at this site are taken from numerous accounts posted on the Internet, and are not confirmed by SCPRT. The one-night, after-dark flashlight tour of this property on October 31, 2017 did not promise the presence of ghosts or apparitions.
One of South Carolina’s beloved historic sites is unsurprisingly haunted. Built in 1857 for one of the state’s previous governors, John Hammond, Redcliffe Plantation is said to be visited by none other than Hammond himself — as he stands guard over his prized home.
The property is now a South Carolina State Park and you can visit any day of the week — DURING THE DAY. And you should. It's a beautiful property with much to see.
But this Halloween, you'll get the chance to see it by flashlight, and possibly come face-to-ghostly-face with the spirits that haunt this historic property.
Are you brave enough to take a chance on being one of those people who report feeling someone's hand on their shoulder... when there's no one behind them?
Get an after dark shudder throughout your body as you tour the grounds, looking for the famous trio of trees planted in a triangular fashion; the spot where apparitions of Hammond have been seen by visitors.
Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site is located at 181 Redcliffe Rd., Beech Island, SC 29842. What are your plans for Halloween? We’d love to know in our comments!
