Overview
This 1843 carriage house behind the antebellum Dudley Mansion sits on Charleston's Battery, one of the oldest and most fortified areas of the city. Guests in Room 10 report a male apparition in period clothing who sits at the foot of the bed, and Room 3 is associated with a headless torso apparition that has resisted every attempted explanation. The inn is a fixture on Charleston ghost tour itineraries and openly embraces its reputation as one of the South's most active small hotels.
