Ghosts of Charleston Walking Tour + Unitarian Church Graveyard

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.

   During our 90 minute walking ghost tour, our City of Charleston licensed tour guides recount hauntings and supernatural events from our best-selling book The Ghosts of Charleston. We are fortunate to have many repeat guests, and lots of tales to share, so we switch things up nightly by varying ghosts stories on every tour. There is no experience like walking enchanted Charleston at night, listening to our supernatural stories, and encountering what you will see and hear in the Unitarian Church Graveyard.
