The haunted Blind Tiger Pub in Charleston has more than liquid spirits inside. The pub first opened in 1992 in its Broad Street location, but it wasn’t until a round of renovations in 2016 that stories began to pour in (no pun intended).
One apparition that is said to haunt the historic building is a woman nicknamed Helen, while others refer to her as the woman in the black dress. While no one knows her identity, some have heard that the young woman jumped from the top of the building many years ago and was taken inside with hopes of reviving her.
Poor Helen could not overcome her injuries and died inside the building. People have reported hearing cries for help from beneath the floorboards, and glasses have been known to fall from shelves. The building, built in 1803, played a crucial role during Prohibition in the 1920s, featuring an underground tunnel.
