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...

Sorry to say but I was bored! I thought I would be creeped out but certainly wasn’t. Shame because we (our group) was quite excited. Been scared more at my hometown graveyards.

Thanks for letting us know. We don't want anyone to be bored on any of our tours. Sounds like the spirits eluded us the evening of your tour. They do that sometimes. Please contact Randy Johnson, our Guide Manager, at [email protected], to explore ways we can make this right. Hope the rest of your trip to Charleston was memorable and we hope to see you again soon.

I have always enjoyed the tours put on by Bulldog Tours. When my husband and I decided to go on an overnight trip to Charleston we decided to check out what they had to offer. We saw the Magnolia Cemetery tour had recently been added on and immediately booked it. We both love all of the history Charleston has to offer, especially the cemeteries. Braxton Williams did a fantastic job at sharing the history of the cemetery, those buried in it, and of Charleston itself. He was friendly, engaging, and knew the information very well, especially for it being the second time he had done it. We both loved the tour and only wished that it had gone on longer. We plan to do it again in the future.

Thanks for your review of the Spirits of Magnolia Tour with Braxton! Even though Braxton is a seasoned tour guide, you are right in that it was his second tour in the cemetery. We are very proud of the tour and the guides who share it with our guests. Thanks again for visiting with us! Andrew Kuhn Tour Guide Manager

Fun and great for older families! Very informative and our tour guide made the whole thing very interesting and interactive! They provide bug spray because the mosquitos were AWFUL! Highly recommend the tour to anyone who likes history with a twist!

Thanks so much for review of our new tour, Spirits of Magnolia! "History with a twist" is a spot on description of the tour. The cemetery sits on land reclaimed at the marshes of the Cooper River, so the bugs unfortunately are always bad. We do try to provide bug spray to all of our guests though. We are glad you enjoyed this secret gem tucked away on the peninsula! Andrew Kuhn Tour Guide Manager
