About this tour
A 90-minute evening walking tour of Charleston's most haunted locations, led by guides from a paranormal research team.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the starting point and begin a walking route through Charleston's historic districts, stopping at several locations tied to documented deaths and paranormal activity. At each stop, the guide shares the historical background—pulled from official records—and plays or shows you audio and visual evidence the team has collected during their investigations. The tour runs for roughly 90 minutes total, mixing walking between sites with standing time at each location while the guide talks through findings.
The experience wraps up at the final location. No transportation between stops is provided; it's all on foot. Expect an evening atmosphere and moderate walking pace suitable for all fitness levels, though you'll be standing outdoors at each stop regardless of weather.

Good to know
This tour works well for paranormal enthusiasts, history buffs curious about Charleston's documented hauntings, and anyone sceptical of the exaggerated ghost-tour folklore. It's also suitable if you have mobility needs—the route is fully wheelchair accessible and strollers are fine. Be aware: you're walking outdoors for 90 minutes in the evening, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. The tour relies heavily on audio and visual playback of paranormal evidence; if you're sceptical of that methodology, the experience may not resonate. Group sizes aren't specified, so you may encounter larger crowds during peak times. No transportation between stops—this is entirely on foot. The tour is inclusive of all admission costs.
