The Powder Magazine remains the oldest building in Charleston. It has been privy to battles and skirmishes, explosives and gun fights. But with such an interesting history comes the ghosts who have attached themselves to this historic property. Those who choose to visit the Powder Magazine today do so at the risk of spotting something...otherworldly during their trip. Echoes of gunfire, a shadowy figure moving in the grass. Who is haunting the Powder Magazine today?
