In Charleston, known as the Holy City, the past is as intriguing as it is tragic. You will explore the darker, mystical side of the Lowcountry and hear about real elements of its history — fires and wars, witches and murder plots, mass graves, voodoo, poltergeists and even Boo‑Hags. Along the way, your guide will share stories that connect those events to the streets and sites you pass.

You will follow a knowledgeable guide to historical locations that are described as beautiful as they are haunted. As you move through the city, you will learn local tales and context that bring Charleston’s complicated past to life. The tour is family‑friendly (PG‑13) and pet‑friendly, so you can expect a welcoming atmosphere for a broad range of visitors while still encountering the city’s eerie and mysterious history.
