Have You Seen George?

If you prefer the charm and ambiance of an overnight stay to be at a B&B rather than a standard hotel, the 1837 Bed and Breakfast is one to consider---but only if you don't mind sharing your space with the friendly resident ghost, George.

126 Wentworth Street, Charleston, SC

Guests have reported regular sightings of a little boy playing around the hallways, only to disappear in a flash! According to stories that go way, way back to the early 1800's (the house was built in 1837), the young boy is said to have been the son of a slave family that worked at the house.  The parents were sold to a family in Virginia, and had to leave George behind in Charleston. Overwhelmed with grief upon the devastating departure of his parents, he stole a rowboat and attempted to chase the ship his parents were on, only to tragically drown in the Charleston Harbor after his boat flipped over in the rough waters.  

The house at 126 Wentworth Street in historic Charleston was said to be the last place George was with his parents before they were shipped off to Virginia.  Guests of the inn, as well as employees have experienced being shaken from their beds, slamming doors, and quick sightings of George about the property.  

But don't worry----he is as friendly a ghost as you will ever "meet"!
