Sara Pitzer has been traveling in and writing about the Southeast since 1983. She is the author of North Carolina off the Beaten Path and Myths and Mysteries of North Carolina, both published by Globe Pequot Press. Although Sara has stayed in many Charleston B&Bs, eaten enough Lowcountry food to need a low-cal diet, visited museums and plantations, and walked through graveyards, she has never seen a ghost. And that\u2019s quite okay with her.
