Ghosts of Charleston

About this activity

Highlight: Exclusive nighttime entry into the 1772 Unitarian Church Graveyard. This lush garden graveyard is otherworldly, enchanted, and magical. There is nothing like it anywhere.

Before the churchyard experience, our expert storytellers lead you through gas lamp lit streets and alleys, sharing eerie tales of mystery and wonder from Charleston's 356 years of rich and romantic history.

Based on the book The Ghosts of Charleston by Julian Buxton (over 100,000 copies sold).

The Ghosts of Charleston is our city's most popular, oldest, book-based walking tour--a favorite of residents and visitors for over 30 years.

Departs from Buxton Books several times each evening. Come walk with us.
