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...

We were expecting a spookier excursion, but received more of a historical rundown instead. The guide was friendly but lacked in any theatrics which was a missed opportunity to make a more eerie atmosphere. A bonus was that we got to actually go into a graveyard, where as other companies could not. Ultimately, we made the best of it and enjoyed learning a few new things through a beautiful city.

rh0729, We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback on the tour. We are sorry that the spookiness of the tour was somewhat lackluster. Our guides do their best to find the perfect line between sharing history of the city as well the stories of the paranormal events that happen based on the tragedies that occurred within that history. Going into the oldest graveyard in the city at the Circular Church is a wonderful privilege to have, especially that it is after hours when it closed to the public. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed what you could. Feel free to email our Tour Guide Manager, Andrew Kuhn, at [email protected] with more information about your tour and who was your guide so we may use this as an opportunity to do better. Thanks again and we hope you enjoyed the time in Charleston!

Great tour - thank you Maya. Shame about the bugs and heat but that can't be helped. Bring water. Would have liked to go through the Provost Dungeon as part of the tour too.

A fun experience with good storytelling by the guide. Nothing spectacularly spooky happened, but the tour was full of historical facts mixed in with some eerie lore. Word of advice: bring bug spray!!! I was almost eaten alive by mosquitoes. Don't let the bugs stop you though, it was still a great tour with access to places no other tour company can give you.
