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...

They say this tour can be for kids but in my opinion it is not. My 11 yr old daughter left within the first 10 minutes along with my wife costing us around $50. Suzie Q was good but overall tour was a bit hokey. Old jail was great. Neighborhood is very sketchy so beware at night.

Folks are frequently escorted out of the Old City Jail mid-tour for many reasons, such as claustrophobia, panic attacks, and spirit possession. We just hope your daughter is okay. Please contact Randy Johnson, our Guide Manager, at [email protected], to arrange for a full refund. Many thanks for letting us know.

I was scheduled to go on this graveyard tour but found out that I would be needing knee replacement surgery. I cancelled in plenty of time with Bulldog Tours. I was assured that my amount would be credited to my account. It never was. I called Bulldog and was told that Viator would need to authorize the refund. I emailed Viator twice and never got a response. Customer service???
