The Haunted Quinby or Quenby’s Bridge and the Disastrous “Raid of the Dog Days”

During the American Revolutionary War, on July 17, 1781, nearly fifty men lost their lives in battle here, with many wounded in an area named Cainhoy in Berkeley County, South Carolina, just outside of Charleston.

It is said that the area remains haunted by the men who perished and were wounded in battle, and the sounds of battle can sometimes be heard on some nights.

Another popular legend is the ghost of a headless British soldier, who is said to sometimes appear in the area.
