You’ll find South Carolina’s most haunted ghost towns include Dorchester, a colonial settlement burned during the Revolutionary War with ruins still standing at Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site, and Ellenton, displaced in 1950 for nuclear development after the 1876 race riot that killed 15 Black residents. Andersonville lies submerged beneath Lake Hartwell following devastating 1840 and 1852 floods, while Pickens Courthouse and Pinckneyville feature crumbling structures where witnesses report unexplained phenomena. The stories behind these abandoned settlements reveal how violence, disaster, and government displacement created today’s eerie landscapes.
