Ghosts of Charleston Haunted Walking Tour

Discover Charleston’s Dark History guided by a ghoulish cast of characters that will raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

On our ghostly adventure I will guide you to the most haunted pubs, cemeteries and abandoned prison’s Charleston has to offer.

And I’ll tell you spooky tales of pirates, ghosts, murder, and with a little luck we might just see a ghost.

When you share the experience with your friends, you’ll be the scream of the town!

I’ll meet you at the corner of East Bay and Broad street, that’s if you aren’t a yellow belly.
