This haunted GPS-guided audio walking tour of Charleston guides you through the city’s eeriest streets using your smartphone. The app delivers narrated, turn-by-turn directions as you move and includes a built-in EMF reader intended to detect ghosts on the route. The format focuses on stories and atmosphere so you can explore at your own pace.

As you move through the historic district you will encounter the Old Exchange and learn about the ghosts of the prisoners below, pause at the Blind Tiger to hear about the Woman in Black, and pass the Dock Street Theater with its tale of Nettie. Along the way you will see the Pirates Courtyard and hear of the hung pirate, visit St. Philip’s Church and the Weeping Woman, and learn the story of Gabriel at the Powder Magazine. The Circular Church graveyard introduces the Trench Ghost, Poogan’s Porch brings the ghost of the pooch, and Haint Blue is explored for its spooky past. The route also includes the Unitarian Cemetery and the ghost of Anna, finishing with the Old Charleston Jail and the legend of Lavinia Fisher.
