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 had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide was great and very informative and entertaining. Sadly our 2 year old was a little over tired and forced us to leave the tour a little early but the guide couldn't have handled the situation better. We highly recommend and wish we could have finished the whole experience.

We can refund at least some of your money. Thank you for the wonderful review. 843-722-8687 Theresa Stratford Marketing Manager Bulldog Tours

Our group very much enjoyed the 'Ghost and Graveyard' tour. For 90 minutes, our guide, Adam, took us on a chilling walking tour of downtown Charleston. The tour was riveting, informative, and fun. Adam, an excellent storyteller, kept the group entertained and on edge with his vast knowledge of the ghost history in Charleston.

Our guide, Jack, was an amazing story teller. He adjusted some of his presentation based on the interests and knowledge base of our group which I thought was awesome! I am not superstitious, but I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot of history during it as well!
