Highlights
  • 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:

. It’s a great tour, you’ll be on the inside of Charleston’s haunted graveyards where you’ll discover the city’s eerie legends. Your guide will share chilling stories, such as:
• The apparition of Sue Howard, a sorrowful mother who continues to visit her deceased child’s grave from beyond. There’s photographic evidence to support this.
• The legendary John C. Calhoun, known as ‘The Great Nullifier,’ and his wife, who are said to still waltz through the streets annually, even after a century and a half.
• Horrifying accounts of premature burials. In olden Charleston, medical practitioners were extremely cautious with infectious diseases. If you lost consciousness in a hospital, you might find yourself waking up in a coffin. Discover the origins of the phrases ‘saved by the bell’ and ‘graveyard shift,’ and be thankful you didn’t live during those times.

While others merely peer through the iron fences, you’ll have the privilege of walking among the graves. Absorb the history of these haunted burial grounds and listen to stories about the notable figures who are interred in the Holy City.

Remember to bring your flash cameras along. You might just capture some spectral images…

Better than the museum by miles! - Randy took us back through time! It seems that these tours are not just about the spooky, but it helps us to see these folks in history as real people! This was my second night in my trip that I did a ghost tour, literally my favorite part of my trip! I also got the book that Randy’s partner wrote about the jail today “Speak For The Dead” and I’m excited to read it!

Fabulous Ghost tour - This was the most fun!!! I don't know if we just got lucky, but our guide Scott Poole, was just outstanding. Turns out that he is a history professor and author and had the best stories of the legends and ghost and spirits of Charleston. We walked through several cemeteries and other places where the spirits are said to frequent. It was just a blast and we learned a lot of history along the way.
