A while back, we published the Ultimate South Carolina Waterfalls Road Trip and got an overwhelming response. Since all of those waterfall stops were in the Upstate, we decided to put together a haunted South Carolina Lowcountry road trip.
South Carolina has such intense history it’s no wonder there are so many reported hauntings. We picked out seven terrifying haunted places with relatively easy access and created this easy to follow route. The total trip is 234 miles with an estimated five hours and fifteen minutes of drive time. We’ve included a link to the Google Map here. (One note: if you see a no trespassing sign, please heed the notice and don’t trespass; it’s against the law.)
Do you have five hours – plus the time you’ll spend exploring the hauntings at these sites? We’ve got the Google map here – if you have the time, South Carolina. Let’s hit the road for The Ultimate Terrifying South Carolina Lowcountry Road Trip!

What they found was a pile of bones and the clothes in which Julia had been laid to rest. She'd been buried alive.
Devastated, the family laid her brother to rest alongside her bones and resealed the tomb. When they returned, the door was not only open but laying on the ground next to the tomb. Each time they closed the door, they would return to find it laying on the ground. Eventually, they stopped and just left the door off altogether. It's believed that Julia's spirit is still at the tomb and is responsible for removing the sealed door each time. Discover more about Edisto's Haunted Tomb.
