6. Charleston, South Carolina
Known as the “Holy City” for the church spires that dot its skyline, Charleston is one of the oldest cities in the U.S., and also one of the most haunted. Victorian mansions line the downtown area known as the Battery, which was a protective artillery installation during the Civil War, and it is here that many of the city’s most haunted houses can be found. Perhaps the most famous is the Battery Carriage House Inn, a hotel where people have reported seeing everything from strange lights, to the gentlemanly ghost of a student who died after leaping off the roof, to a headless torso that appears at guests’ bedsides in the middle of the night. Charleston is also known for a number of ghost stories that originated with the Gullah, a West African culture that populates parts of South Carolina and Georgia. The most famous Gullah horror stories usually center on Boo Hags, a type of blood-red vampire that wears human skin as a mask and feeds on its victim’s energy while they sleep.
六、查尔斯顿，南卡罗来纳州
查尔斯顿因教堂尖顶布满天际而被称为“圣城”，它是美国最古老的城市之一，也是最闹鬼的城市之一。维多利亚时代的房屋在市中心地区排成一线，这里被称作‘炮台区’，指内战时期的一种防护火炮装置。城里大多数闹鬼的屋子都在这个地区。最为著名的或许要数炮台马车客栈，人们在此看到的灵异现象可谓五花八门，包括奇怪的光线，从楼顶跳下的一个名学生化身成的绅士鬼魂，还有在午夜出现在客房床边的无头躯干。查尔斯顿还因许多起源于古勒的鬼故事而出名，古勒是一种西非文化，存在于南卡罗来纳和乔治亚部分地区。最著名的古勒恐怖故事常常集中到布哈格身上，那是一种血红色的吃人的东西，它带着人皮面具，乘人熟睡时吸食人的能量。
Most Haunted Place: the Dock Street Theater
Charleston is full of buildings with a checkered past, and one of the most well known is surely the Dock Street Theater. Built in 1809, the theater is said to be the home of two spirits. The first is Nettie, a poor prostitute who was killed near the theater after being struck by lightning. The other is the ghost of Junius Brutus Booth, an actor who is more famous today for being the father of John Wilkes Boothe, the man who killed Abraham Lincoln. Both spirits are said to wander the backstage area of the theater, and many workers and performers claim to have spotted them.
最恐怖之地：船坞街戏院
查尔斯顿的建筑大多有着错综复杂的过去，而其中最出名的肯定是船坞街戏院。戏院建于1809年，传说里面有两个灵魂。一个名叫内蒂，是一名可怜的妓女，在被闪电劈中之后死于戏院附近。另一个是杀死林肯的凶手，朱尼厄斯·布鲁特斯·布斯的鬼魂。据说两个灵魂常出没在戏院后台，很多工作人员和表演者都声称看到过。
