Hello everyone. New guy here. My wife and I are taking a trip to Charleston, SC tomorrow and are spending the night at the Battery Carriage House Inn in Room #8 - the room the with the famous torso ghost. Just curious if anyone here has ever slept in the room or if you know anyone who has and, if so, what were your/their experiences?

Hi Dwreck! Welcome to SpiritKeep! =)
I've not been there either, but I looked it up on Google --- it's a beautiful place! Here's a little snippet about the ghost in room 8 (and another):
Battery Carriage House Inn
In room eight of this inn, a man once woke from sleep around four in the morning to see a headless torso, dressed in the uniform of the South during the Civil War, floating at arm's length above his head. He reached out to touch it and felt the fabric of the uniform. As he did so, the apparition moaned, waking the man's wife. She screamed, and it disappeared. An apparition called the "gentleman ghost"--so called because he visits female guests, and if they "object," he leaves . . . through a wall. He is thought to be a man who graduated from Yale in the early twentieth century but committed suicide not long thereafter.
This URL has pictures of the B&B, as well as some of the ghostly history.
