About this experience
Not only are more images of ghosts captured on our tours than on any other tour in Charleston. We stand out as the ONLY Ghost Tour in Charleston, offering 10 original, well-researched, and spine-chilling stories on every tour! We're also the Only Ghost Tour using verification equipment to show you when ghosts are in your presence.
You might even see a ghost! That's right. Many of our guests have captured photographic evidence of ghosts—not just "orbs" but actual images of ghostly beings in their photos. If you do capture a ghost, and we post it, we'll send you an official Ghost Tour T-Shirt!
Unlike other tours that pack people in, we limit our Ghost Tours to just 15 participants. These tours often sell out, so join us for the best ghost tour in Charleston as we explore the dark side and search for spirits from the past... unless you're scared.
Note: The tour ends a few blocks from where it starts, but we will walk you back to the starting point.
