What To Expect

Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Tour

Meet your guide at a central meeting point, then proceed to the graveyard where you will hear about Charleston's spirits and gruesome tales such as: • The ghost of Sue Howard, a grieving mother who prays at the grave of her dead child from the spirit world. Your guide has the picture to prove it. • The Great Nullifier, famous rebel warrior John C. Calhoun. Find out why he and his wife still dance in the street every year, for over 150 years running. • Tales of being buried alive. Doctors in old Charleston didn't take chances with contagious diseases. Fall unconscious in a hospital, wake up in a grave.Learn why the terms saved by the bell and graveyard shift were coined. You will be glad you weren't around when they were. While other walking tours are looking in through the iron fence, you'll be on the inside. Learn the history of Charleston's haunted graveyards and hear tales about famous individuals who found their final resting place in the Holy City. Don't forget your flash cameras. You never know what phantom images you can capture...

The graveyard was interesting although every tour group in Charleston goes to it so you’re going to have two or three other groups in there and it’s so well lit it’s really not scary. the only other interesting part of the tour was when he told the story about the haunted restaurant Poogies porch while we were actually standing at the restaurant; otherwise you’re just standing in the middle of different blocks not seeing anything and listening to boring stories. Also why does the guide waste a good 10 to 15 minutes in the beginning asking everybody where they’re from?? like anyone cares - we don’t. we will never see these people again in our lives get on with what we’re paying to see and hear, please. the tour is absolutely not worth $30. They should charge half the price and just take you into the graveyard and call it a night

JanB, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave the feedback of your tour. On the Ghost and Graveyard Tour, we at Bulldog have the exclusive privilege of taking our groups inside the gates of the oldest burial grounds in the city for stories and history of the Circular Church graveyard. No other company can enter. As far as asking people where they are from, it may not matter to you, but it does to us and others on tour. Charleston is ranked as the friendliest city in the nation for a reason. We enjoy hearing where people are from and making a personal connection to our guests. We will continue to extend our hospitality even if our guests do not. Thanks again!

Gordon was an amazing tour guide!! It wasn’t a jump scare tour (thank god) but Gordon still made it spooky and entertaining. Not too much walking which was nice and we were on our toes the whole time. Highly recommend!
