Is Man-Doyle House haunted?

The record holds 1 claim, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

The house is the entertained — the '1775' that's the build's year, the 'ballroom' that's the upstairs' use. The 'Theodosia' is the danced — the 'last ball' that's the evening's fame, the 'Patriot' that's the next day's ship. The 'cypress' is the cut — the 'hand-hewn' that's the wood's form, the 'Mansfield' that's the plantation's name.

The 'in town' is the purposed — the 'entertaining' that's the house's function, the 'Mary Man' that's the builder's name. The 'heart pine' is the floored — the '8 fireplaces' that's the hearth's count, the 'Georgian' that's the style's name. The house is the kept — the 'hurricanes' that's the survived's list, the 'HABS' that's the record's form.

The file keeps the house: the entertained ball, the danced Theodosia, the cut cypress, and the kept mansion.

Man-Doyle House is the archive's South Carolina file — the ballroom where Theodosia danced last.

Why this file matters

Man-Doyle House is the archive's South Carolina file — the last party before the Patriot sailed.

A house keeps its ballroom — the file's suggestion being that the site's hold is the farewell: the 'Theodosia' that's the guest's name, the 'lost at sea' that's the night's sequel, and the '1775' that's the survivor's age.
