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...

Great activity to do at night. You get to see Charleston from a different perspective. My daughter and I took a selfie in the graveyard and sure enough two little ghost boys appeared in the photo. I am a true believer. I would like to know more about those boys - no mention of them on our tour - but would like to see if they are relevant. Jennifer was our guide,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! As far as seeing two little boys in the photo, there are two possible explanations, depending on where you were standing in the photo. If it was up in the front of the cemetery by the oldest grave, it could possibly be the ghosts of the two sons of Sarah Pratt. Sarah lost both of her children to yellow fever in 1854. They were buried in the mass grave located at the front of the cemetery. If the picture is towards the middle or back of graveyard, then it may be two of the three Savage Brothers, who all tragically died within ten days of other from disease. It is not uncommon to see the spirits of children in the Circular Church Graveyard. Hope this helps with your photo! Thanks again for sharing!

We had the ghosts and graveyard tour with Deshaun and he is such a good storyteller! My husband and I enjoyed walking around seeing the city and learning history about it. We were able to go into a graveyard as well. It was very enjoyable!
