Exceptional and fun tour as always! Trish is the best in the business! Her photos are amazing! Remember if it's your expectation on any ghost tour that you're going to have a paranormal experience, it doesn't always happen. I have toured with the majority of guides in the Charleston area and although most are exceptional, Trish is my favorite. As a part-time paranormal investigator myself, I find Trish refreshing and an exceptional tour guide. Her knowledge of the History of our beloved Charleston is worth going on the tour for, and yes we have had many "experiences" with Trish that could not be explained!

My husband is from Charleston and he's been promising to take me on Trish's tour for years. Had a really great time. Very knowledgeable and good stories about the history of the area. Would definitely go again and recommend.

Took my wife and friends on their first Ghost Walk in Charleston over the Thanksgiving weekend. We had a wonderful time and Trish was an abundance of knowledge! Being a local and history buff myself i was thrilled to hear and see some things I hadn’t heard before. Activity was minimal our night but did have some. Highly recommend Ghostwalk Charleston.
