50: The Prisoner of Charleston (Dead Letter Office)

Oct 14, 2025

35 min

Description

In tonight’s dead letter… Veronica takes a ghost tour of an old jail in Charleston, South Carolina and has an intense encounter with a spirit there. She's able to describe this man in detail and later discovers the spirit is that of William Marcus, who was hanged at the jail for the murder of his wife. The experience was terrifying and shaped Veronica's path in understanding and protecting herself from many more unseen things she has crossed paths with in her life since then.

The photo of William Marcus is from Charleston News and Courier (published as The News and Courier.) - August 4, 1906 - page 8.
