A while back, we published the Ultimate South Carolina Waterfalls Road Trip and got an overwhelming response. Since all of those waterfall stops were in the Upstate, we decided to put together a haunted South Carolina Lowcountry road trip.

South Carolina has such intense history it's no wonder there are so many reported hauntings. We picked out seven terrifying haunted places with relatively easy access and created this easy to follow route. The total trip is 234 miles with an estimated five hours and fifteen minutes of drive time. We’ve included a link to the Google Map here. (One note: if you see a no trespassing sign, please heed the notice and don't trespass; it's against the law.)

Do you have five hours – plus the time you’ll spend exploring the hauntings at these sites?  We’ve got the Google map here – if you have the time, South Carolina. Let's hit the road for The Ultimate Terrifying South Carolina Lowcountry Road Trip!

1. White Point Garden - a.k.a. The Battery - Charleston, SC

Our Lowcountry Edition of the Ultimate SC Terrifying Road Trip starts here, at White Point Gardens.

Pirates were brought here for execution. There have been sightings of an executed pirate walking around the park looking for his executioner. Learn more about White Point Garden.

2. Old City Jail - Charleston, SC

The Old City Jail is perhaps one of the most haunted buildings in America. It opened in 1802 and closed in 1939 where it sat abandoned until 2000. Notorious criminals were housed here. There is a company that gives tours of the Old City Jail. Learn more about tours at the Old City Jail.

Bonus: Across the street from the Old Jail there stood a single story building that housed criminals deemed too insane to live in the general population. Many hauntings take place regularly at both of these locations.

3. The tomb of Julia Legare - Presbyterian Church Cemetery - Edisto Island, SC

In the 1800s, proclaiming someone officially dead wasn't as scientific as it today. In 1852, young Julia Legare became ill with diptheria, fell into a coma and was pronounced dead. She was buried the same day. Years later, her brother was killed fighting in the war. The family opened Julia's tomb to lay her brother to rest in there also.What they found was a pile of bones and the clothes in which Julia had been laid to rest. She'd been buried alive. Devastated, the family laid her brother to rest alongside her bones and resealed the tomb. When they returned, the door was not only open but laying on the ground next to the tomb. Each time they closed the door, they would return to find it laying on the ground. Eventually, they stopped and just left the door off altogether. It's believed that Julia's spirit is still at the tomb and is responsible for removing the sealed door each time. Discover more about Edisto's Haunted Tomb.

4. Old Sheldon Church - Yemassee, South Carolina

Old Sheldon Church is hauntingly beautiful. But some people have experienced actual hauntings in the church's old cemetery.

Many Old Sheldon Church cemetery hauntings are associated with this particular headstone for Anne Bull Heyworth. People have seen apparitions and/or been overcome with sorrow when near this marker. More information about the Old Sheldon Church.

5. Chapel of Ease, St Helena Island - Beaufort, SC

The Chapel of Ease was built in 1740 by planters who had difficulty traveling all the way to Beaufort to worship.Each time the parishoners tried to seal the crypt of the church they would return the next day only to find the crypt open and all of the bricks neatly stacked by the opening. Ghostly spirits have been blamed for it. Here is more information about the Chapel of Ease.

6. The haunting of the Summerville light - Summerville, SC

The story behind the Summerville Light haunting is that it belongs to a woman who used to wait at the train at midnight every night to meet her husband who worked on the railroads. One day he was killed at work and didn't show up as usual. It's said that she still walks the area, waiting at their usual spot at midnight for her husband to return.

7. Boone Hall Plantation - Mount Pleasant, SC

Boone Hall Plantation was established in the 1670s. It may be the oldest plantation in South Carolina. Who knew such a beautiful spot that has so many visitors would be haunted? But, visitors here have reported seeing the apparition of a soldier trying to remove a bullet from a fellow soldier. Discover more about visiting Boone Hall Plantation here.
