The Ghost of Litchfield

Occupants of Litchfield Plantation have been awakened
many nights by the noise of a  former owner.

Litchfield Plantation near All Saints Church in Georgetown, SC is one of the oldest plantations in the area.  It is still beautifully preserved. The ghost of Litchfield, Dr. Henry Tucker,  who returns to haunt it, is one of its former owners.  He was a doctor who lived and died here before the Civil War.  Later owners and residents of the plantation who lived on it have seen him many times.  The nice doctor would ride to his home at Litchfield Plantation, which he kept locked, but he had a gatekeeper who sometimes wasn't there. When the gatekeeper wasn't there the tired doctor would beat on a bell furiously with his crop stick.  Well, eventually, he tied his horse to the bell post, climbed over a split log fence, and walked home. Long after the doctors death owners would hear the clanging of the bell. Sometimes he would appear in the house or on the dark, little back stairs.

The Litchfield Plantation is located on Kings Road
off of US 17, approximately 13 miles north of Georgetown.
