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 were looking forward to visiting Charleston and doing one of the ghost tours. We booked the Ghost and Graveyard walking tour from 7:30 to 9:00 pm. Stu was our guide. He took us to three places. An alley between two buildings, a courtyard of some building and the old graveyard. The old graveyard was very interesting but we could have gone there ourselves. At these three places he told very long and boring stories. Everyone was getting restless listening to him go on and on. He did have some pictures with what he called figures and orbs from those areas that he said other people had taken but who knows? Sorry to say but this tour was not worth the time and definitely not worth the money. We all could not wait to leave. Maybe with another guide it may have been better? There are so many great things to do in Charleston like the City Tours, the Mansion tours, museums, the horse and buggy tours and the Fort Sumter tour that you can definitely skip this one.

We are very sorry you feel this way. Stu usually gets excellent reviews so we are surprised to read this. He is a great tour guide and employee and we are very sorry you didn't get to see that. Thank you for the feedback and we hope the rest of your trip in Charleston was great.

A good tour. We try to take a ghost tour in every historic city we visit. The told some compelling story's, took us to interesting places, and allowed us to try and catch a ghost on our camera. I would do it again. Had a great time.

Two weeks ago my 19 year old son and I went on this tour. Our guide Andrew was great - personable, knowledgeable and showed us pictures of teh ghosts at the stops that we made. His story about Poe and the Hotel were astounding. Afterwards as we were finished with our tour and were going to walk back to our hotel we started talking to Andrew about some of our ghostly experiences. He then told us about the jail and showed us a picture that freaked my son and I out. Also, his historical knowledge of Charleston was extremely in depth and interesting. Great tour guide and a fun night even though we did not see or picture anything (if you want such then do the jail tour)
