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...

Our entire family enjoyed this spooky tour! Our tour guide, Randy, was a great story teller. He kept us interested and entertained, and had our grandchildren interact in his stories!

Tour began about 7:30 with approximately a dozen participants. Lasted almost two hours. Went through 4 or 5 church sites and graveyards, and got several haunted ghost stories from the tour guide. Very informative and chilling. The weather was clear and cool ~ 45-50 degrees F. The only critique is that Charleston is very tour heavy now. We passed and encountered multiple other tour groups on the streets. That's not the individual tours' fault though. Baby strollers beware. It can be challenging going through old streets and grassy graveyards with a baby stroller. Especially in the dark. Definitely recommend this tour ! Boooo !

Thanks so much for your review! This past weekend was a chilly one. We usually do not see those temperatures until January. Charleston is visited by many people and there is always multiple groups on the streets and we are respectful to them as we hope they are to us. As you also mentioned, the streets in Charleston can be rough to navigate down and we try to forewarn guests before the tours begin. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the experience as well as the guide. Thanks again for visiting with us!

Our guide Joy was fantastic. She had many stories to share and did so with building suspense and strategic scary moves. This is my second Charleston ghost tour and this one was certainly the best so far. Learned many things about Charleston's history and about dead people. Top notch tour!!
