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...

We took the Ghost and Graveyard Tour with 2 adults and 1 teen. The information presented was really interesting and not too spooky for children, but might be a little hard to pay attention and follow for a child younger than a pre-teen. Jayson was our guide and did a great job storytelling and even did well handling the irritating interrupter that was in our group! He was polite and was not thrown off by the interruptions.

Took three ghost tours on our trip to Charleston and this was the most fun. Jayson said he was a new guide, but was a great speaker and did a very good job of telling the stories like he has done it for years. The guide makes all the difference. This tour hits the "highlights" of the most famous ghost stories in Charleston and is close to the peninsula hotels, so one can walk to and from the tour. One might think ghost tours are cheesy, but we have done them for thirty years, as they are essentially regional history tours with added ghost stories. Definitely worth the time and fun for adults and kids.
