Must Do Historical Ghost Tour - Having lived in the Charleston area for 28yrs plus I was rather skeptical when booking this tour as a “fun thing to do on Thanksgiving Eve”. Wrong … Brandon, who is an actual historian, not charlatan, was amazing! Brandon wove ghost stories into the fabric of downtown Charleston with humor. The tour last night lasted a little linger than the advertised 1.5hrs, so we had to peel off one stop early for a dinner reservation. Book this tour, young and old alike, you’ll enjoy your evening with Brandon.

Great Tour and Ghost Sighting! - Absolutely loved this tour! I came with my partner and we were joined by other couples, family members, and friends. We all had a great time! Brandon is a certified history guide and a ghost tour guide, so he gave us a very comprehensive overview of the city. I had already gone on a ghost tour in Charleston before, but Brandon told unique stories and provided extra details that I hadn’t heard before. His stories were really captivating and made you feel like you were right there when they happened. He also brought out some EMF detectors for us to hold and stand in various places to see what energy we picked up on while he told the stories. It was really neat - and we saw some obvious spikes when he would mention certain details. I also briefly saw (what we believe) was a ghost as it was in an abandoned building and looking through the window as we walked by - it quickly moved and hid back behind the window after I looked. After the tour, Brandon researched the spot and followed up to share some of his findings on which ghost it likely was (which was awesome). I was already a believer, but my partner was a little skeptical coming into it. This tour seemed to really change his perspective as he is still talking about it and questioning his own experiences even days later! We both had a great time :)

Must do when in Charleston - It was a great tour. Brandon was an amazing storyteller. We visited many haunts and the kids got to use the emf detectors. We were all engaged from ages 11-73. Highly recommend.
