South Carolina Folklore Appraisal

Haunted Charleston: Stories from the College of Charleston, The Citadel, and the Holy City (2004 History Press Edition)

This is a softcover book titled 'Haunted Charleston,' published by The History Press in 2004. The image displays the copyright page and a portion of the table of contents. According to the visible text, the copyrights belong to Ed Macy and Geordie Buxton. Specifically, this is The History Press edition from 2004, manufactured in the United Kingdom with the ISBN 1-59629-011-0. The pages appear to be made of standard trade paperback stock with black ink printing. Physically, the book exhibits evidence of handling; there is a noticeable crease near the top left corner of the copyright page and some gentle waving of the paper, likely due to storage environment or previous use. The lighting in the photograph suggests a yellowish tint, though the paper itself appears to be a natural white or off-white. The craftsmanship is typical of 21st-century regional interest trade paperbacks, featuring clean typography and standard margins. There are no visible markings such as library stamps, signatures, or inscriptions in this specific view, though the presence of an individual's thumb holding the page open indicates the binding is flexible and intact. The content focuses on local folklore and ghost stories related to prominent South Carolina institutions.
