THE STORY
Reported Haunting
One of Georgetown's oldest churches is said to be haunted by lingering spirits seen within the sanctuary and churchyard.
Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church, founded in 1721, is among the oldest churches in South Carolina. According to Georgetown legend, visitors have reported seeing shadowy figures moving through the historic sanctuary and cemetery after dark. Others have experienced unexplained footsteps, disembodied voices, and a feeling of being watched while walking the church grounds. The church's centuries of history, including Revolutionary and Civil War connections, have contributed to its reputation as one of Georgetown's most haunted landmarks.
