Real Hauntings of Charleston! (Small Group Ghost Tour)
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Many Charleston Ghost Tours have big groups of 25+ - NOT HERE!! We limit our tour sizes to about 12 to keep them fun! Charleston is one of the most charming and colorful cities in the world; however, when the light fades and shadows grow long, a darker side of the Holy City emerges. Over the course of just over 1 mile long, our 90 min walk will pass haunted graveyards, churches, alleyways, hotels, restaurants, and bars. You will hear the real and terrifying stories of ghostly brides, murders, pirates, soldiers, executions, duels, and so much more! As the night falls over the streets of Charleston, we start by the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon and walk through the historic streets where you will hear about real, and active spirits from Charlestons 350 year history like pirates whose lives were cut short at the end of a noose, a young lady who wonders down a particular alley, and a doctor who walks throughout the Holy City. Come Hear It All!

5.00The guide was really knowledgeable and a good storyteller. He revealed intertwined facts together in such a way that he could do a big reveal. It wasn’t a lot of walking and he brought some “ghost meters” along for ppl to use. Overall great experience.
Just OK

3.00This is my 3rd ghost tour in Charleston, and this was by far my least favorite. Vannah was our guide, and looking at other reviews, I think that it may have been a different experience if we had been with Brandon. Just saying- if you are booking this tour, ask for him. Nothing was even remotely creepy, and most seemed overly dramatic rather than just telling the story or history. I was bored by the end. I’m being brief and kind.
Charleston's spooky history

5.00My daughter and I did a ghost tour guided by Brandon and it was fantastic! We loved the smaller group size and Brandon added in so much history of Charleston which is what we were hoping for. I would recommend this tour 100%.
Great ghost tour

5.00I enjoy ghost tours but I am a huge skeptic. Still, this tour was very enjoyable and very educational. There are times during the tour that even a skeptic like me can believe. There were a couple times that real things happened that none of us could explain. Seriously. Also, Brandon was a very good guide. He has lots of information and balances the best spooky experience with safety very well.

5.00What an amazing and informative tour! My group consisted of me a ghost enthusiast, and my partner a total skeptic, and we both LOVED it! Brandon was amazing with the information and delivery! I did get to see the haunting of Miss Harriet and feel the energy of Anne Ravenel which was spooky and amazing!
Spooky History Tour

5.00If you get Brandon as your tour guide, you're in for a treat. He is pursuing his PhD in colonial history, so he brings a wealth of knowledge to each of the places you visit throughout the tour. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is also mindful of everyone in the group, ensuring that the discussion topics are entertaining and appropriate for all ages. I’ve been on other ghost tours before, and while Brandon tells a great ghost story, the atmospheric local backdrops certainly made each tale feel incredibly believable.
