About the author
Sara Pitzer is the author of Haunted Charleston: Scary Sites, Eerie Encounters, and Tall Tales, published by Globe Pequot Press. The book profiles reportedly haunted locations across Charleston, South Carolina, setting ghost stories and reported apparitions against the city's history since its founding as Charles Towne in 1670, including accounts tied to pirates executed at Battery Point. Pitzer follows the site-by-site format typical of regional ghost-history guides, pairing each location's documented past with the paranormal stories attached to it. The book is aimed at readers interested in Charleston's history and at visitors to the city looking for context on its reputedly haunted landmarks, rather than at readers seeking a general or theoretical treatment of hauntings.
