May 21 evening by Tali Champney
Right after our afternoon work, we left to take quick
showers back at the house. From there we were off to downtown Charleston to eat
dinner at Giovanni’s Pizzeria. We had about an hour before dinner, so we took
that opportunity to do some shopping. The market was just starting to close,
but the different boutiques and stores were all open. We stopped in a variety
of shops, including candy stores to fancy jewelry shops. Then we headed back to
Giovanni’s and ate the biggest pizza slices that I have ever seen. After dinner
we did a little more shopping, then we gathered back at Giovanni’s to start our
ghost tour. Our tour guide walked us around the area and told us various
stories of murder, deaths, and the ghosts that supposedly hunt the area as a
result. My favorite story was about a woman named Lavinia and her husband John
who lured men into their house, put poison in their tea, and murdered them
while they were knocked out. Lavinia sought to be the first female serial
killer, and that she was. She and her husband were eventually caught and hung,
and her ghost has been seen wandering the area where she died. Overall the
evening was a really fun experience and I definitely recommend checking out
downtown Charleston if you ever get the chance.
