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!

5.00There are so many tours when researching which to book, I’m just thankful we picked this one. It was the best Ghost tour we have ever experienced. Brandon was able to tie history to every single ghost story which brought us closer to Charleston in such a wonderfully creepy way. There were so many instances where we experienced intense energy fields and having a guide that was so passionate about sharing Charleston’s dark stories made it irreplaceable! I’d recommend this tour every time and definitely will book again any time we visit. Our experience gets a 10/10!! Thanks Brandon, from KY!
Great spooky tour!

5.00The ghost tour with Brandon was fantastic! His in-depth stories, photos and “ ghost hunting tools” only added to the experience. He took care to check with the parents of the children on the tour before he showed them any photos or asked them to volunteer as a participant in parts of the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the haunted history of Charleston.
Great tour, Brandon was a...
