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...

Emma our 930 tour guide was amazing!! She was telling the stories behind each stop along the tour as if they were written on cue cards.... lol.... Never missed a beat and she is very well spoken and quite knowledgeable. This tour actually goes into a graveyard which was pretty creepy.I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that would like to take a stroll through some of Charleston’s dark history. Awesome experience!!

Would have been a much better experience with a different guide. She had poor story telling skills and kept mixing up dates and names. There was very little flow and she seemed uncomfortable.

167tonyaw, We are very sorry your were disappointed in the experience. Tours are always made or broken by the tour guide. We are looking into what went wrong the night of your tour. We would also like the opportunity to make this right with you. Feel free to reach out to our Tour Guide Manager, Andrew Kuhn, at [email protected] to discuss further. Thanks for the feedback!

I would give the tour five stars but it was lackluster in a couple of ways. The company that does this tour is Bulldog tours and they had easily 8 groups of 8+ people each out at the same time as our tour viewing the same spots. The tour guides did their best to separate groups and stagger out viewing the attractions but it still felt crowded so it affected the spooky atmosphere. The story telling by the tour guide was great. I just wish fewer tours were out so it didn’t feel so crowded and hectic.
