There is a haunted hotel on Edisto Beach with numerous ghost stories.

Another story involves a ghostly fisherman. He's seen on his old boat that seems to glide across the water without any visible means of propulsion.

There is also a story of a strange apparition in the library. It's described as a translucent figure that seems to be flipping through books.
