The Heriot-Tarbox House, often confused with the Thomas Bee House in Charleston, is a haunted site in Georgetown, SC, known for the spectral phenomenon of a grieving woman and her story about a man who never returned from sea. The legend says she continued to light a lantern for him years after his disappearance, even after her death. Reports include the appearance of lights on the third floor and shadowy figures in the yard, according to the South Carolina Picture Project Facebook post. The primary haunting is attributed to a woman who waits for a man who never returned from the sea. She was known to light a lantern for him at a predetermined spot, hoping for his return. After many years of waiting in vain, she died of grief and was found by neighbors after her dogs howled incessantly. People report seeing lights from the third floor of the house, both inside and outside. There are also reports of shadowy figures walking around the yard.
