This walking tour in Charleston lasts about 90 minutes and focuses on ghost stories and historical accounts from the best-selling book The Ghosts of Charleston by Julian Buxton. Licensed guides lead you through downtown Charleston’s old streets at night, sharing different tales of hauntings, tragedy, and lost love each time. The tour offers two options: a 1-hour Graveyard Only Tour or the full 1.5-hour Ghosts of Charleston tour that includes both the Unitarian Church Graveyard and haunted downtown Charleston. The highlight is nighttime access to the Unitarian Church Graveyard, built in 1772, where guests may witness unusual phenomena. Since 1996, this graveyard has been part of Charleston’s oldest ghost tour, with reported visual, tactile, and auditory contacts with spirits occurring occasionally during tours. The walk begins and ends at Buxton Books, Charleston’s independent bookstore at 160 King Street, where visitors can buy the book the tour is based on either before or after the tour. The tour guide is licensed by the City of Charleston and varies the ghost stories told to returning guests. There are no public restrooms available, so plan accordingly.
