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...

Very informative and our tour guide was fun and funny. Would do it again in a heart beat. Bring water because it can get really hot.

Thanks so much for your review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and your guide. Our summers are very brutal mostly due to the humidity. Even with the sun down in the evenings, the humid nights can be tough. We do sell water prior to the start of our tours from our office. We agree with that recommendation. Thanks for visiting with us! Andrew Kuhn Tour Guide Manager

Stu is the man! He knows a lot about Charleston and made the stories exciting and worth listening to. Only wish it could’ve been longer!

Thanks so much for your review! Stu is a wonderful guide and sets an air of mystery while telling his stories. When our guests want the tour to be longer it is a major compliment. Thanks for spending your evening with us! Andrew Kuhn Tour Guide Manager

Myself along with my two friends attended the 9:30 PM Ghost and graveyard tour on august 4th. Our guide, Randy was animated, insightful and poetic. His enthusiasm for my beloved Charleston radiated the tour, and his personable discussions he had with me and my friends while en route to our different destinations, and after the tour, were most agreeable. Randy is right, not everything in Charleston is as it seems.

Thanks so much for your review! Story telling is an art form that not everybody has. Randy is very gifted not only at story telling but creating memorable experiences for everyone on his tours. Charleston's rich history has many sides and layers and it is only in taking a tour that we uncover those layers to see its darker side. Thanks for spending your evening with us!
