Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens is located in the historic district of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

This land has continually produced crops for over three hundred years and is the oldest working plantation home in America today covering a massive 470 acres.

Originally a 1700s revival style brick mansion which was home to Major John Boone and family.

In 1817 the hall was purchased by two brothers who established the grounds as working plantations utilising slave labor until the end of the Civil War.

The plantation was later owned by the McRae family who opened the venue up to the public from 1957 and now offer tours, seminars and shows.

However, some visitors discover more than mere history at this plantation.

It is believed that at least ten entities haunt this plantation.

Unexplained phenomena, encounters with ghostly children seen playing amidst the courtyard and flitting shadow figures are all witnessed at this location.

It is speculated these child entities are the spirits of Ammie Jenkins (girl) and Concha (boy), two little Indian native friends who lived, played and grew up right here during the 1700s.

The story of Ammie and Concha is truly heartbreaking.

On Ammies eighteenth birthday, Concha expressed his true love for her and asked her to be his wife.

Ammie refused and as the years progressed, due to her beauty, was forever inundated throughout her life with proposals from many men. She accepted one.

On the night before the wedding it is said that Concha fired an arrow up through her bedroom window, striking her right through the heart and killing her.

He would rather she was dead than in the arms of another.

Ammie, barely alive, pushed the bedroom door open, grasping her chest, she stumbled down the stairwell. On the thirteenth step she fell into the arms of her fiancé and died.

That step is still there today and although her blood was washed clean from the step many visitors claim to seeing blood right where she fell. Some have seen Ammie herself, silently crying at the foot of the stairs.

One family reported seeing full spectrum apparitions of two soldiers, near an old kiln chimney, one appears to be removing a bullet from a wound on the other.

Staff often encounter the apparition of a woman dressed in dark overalls, near the old slave quarters, accompanied by a sensation of being followed from room to room.

Are the entities of past slaves taking the upper hand?

Whose in control now?

But what I really want to know is, are you brave enough to stand on the thirteenth step?
