THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Ninety Six National Historic Site is associated with ghost stories connected to Revolutionary War battles fought there. Visitors have reported apparitions in period clothing, mysterious voices, phantom footsteps, and unexplained lights across the battlefield after dark. Many believe soldiers who died during the conflict still haunt the grounds.
Ninety Six National Historic Site is a National Park Service operated frontier settlement and Revolutionary War battle site that includes Star Fort, a visitor center, a trail, archaeological digs and restorations. It’s rumored to be haunted by a ghost, but folks differ as to who the spirit is, or was. Some say it’s a Cherokee Indian, others say a Revolutionary soldier. Still others say the fort is visited by the spirits of slaves who were forced by the British to build it.
