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 ghost and graveyard tour was basically a tour guide telling you about the graves, who was in them and how they were made. Need to work on your folk tales and make the stories interesting. The highlight was when an ambulance took a tourist by stretcher in part of another group out of the grave yard.

Rachelle, we thank you. There are many ghosts in the graveyard. One is a young mother covered in mud, digging frantically at the site of an 1854 trench grave, desperately searching for her children. There is the spirit of a high-strung young lady in the very back who has been known to drag women to the ground and pin them there in a fit of malice. There is a menacing shadow ghost, also in the far back, who warns Charlestonians of their impending doom - the harbinger of death. We are following up with your guide to see why these spirits were not relayed to you. We are working on the folk tales and we will make them more interesting. As for the ambulance and the tourist on the stretcher, well . . . it happens. We hope they are doing well. We don't want anyone paying the ultimate price to become one of the ghosts on our tour. We greatly appreciate your feedback. It's a big help to us.

Adam was our guide and he was a great storyteller. I had chills as he told of us various ghost sightings. He was patient and answered all our questions.
