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 & Graveyard walking tour was great fun, and genuinely fascinating! There's a lot more to Charleston than meets the eye, and apparently much of it involves dead people. Our tour guide, Braxton, was friendly and knowledgeable, striking just the right balance between keeping the group moving along and having plenty of time to enjoy what we were seeing.

We did the Cemetary and Ghost tour and had Darian Spencer for a guide. Darian was Amazing!! My Wife was worried about us doing this tour as it is a walking tour and I am a disabled Veteran, but as we were on the tour Darian was very conscientous and kept an extra eye on me and made sure we took breaks and at places we could actually sit and rest a bit. The tour itself was GREAT!! the stories were wonderful and the atmosphere of the whole tour just amazing!! Darian was so knowledgable as well! The stories and histories will keep you engaged throughout!!!

We took the ghost and graveyard tour with Jack (I think that was his name.) We learned a lot about the town and the history behind it. Our tour guy was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. My husband and I have never done a graveyard tour but glad we got to partake in one, in such a historical city. Would defiantly recommend this company!!
