We tell you about the ghosts that inhibit the magazine and sometimes have noises happen from the inside.

We absolutely LOVE this ghostwalk! This time we brought family from Wyoming on this great tour with Trish. Her fabulous character character and the enticing stories she shares make for a really fun evening! She's our absolute favorite tour guide in Charleston. We have done this your many times. Some nights are more active than others but we ALWAYS have a great time. She is the ONLY locally owned and ran Ghost Tour we have. Keep supporting our local gems! What will you see on your tour?

We’re local and love the fact that this company has been here for years and our tour was led by a lady that grew up in the area. She had so much firsthand knowledge about life in Charleston and the history. We toured with our grown children and friends and even came home with a surprise photo of a spirit that appeared in pictures we took in the graveyard! Definitely a great experience!

I put it on our Ghostwalk Charleston page on Facebook but it’s in the comments because it looks just like the “gif” I found for a post! Thank you so much for this heartfelt review! Tricia
