Overview

As the first-ever ghost tour company in the United States, Ghostwalk of Charleston sets the gold standard. We are proud to remain a small, locally owned business in a world of big chains. Unlike large commercial tours, we focus on intimate, meaningful walks through historic Charleston, sharing real, researched accounts of hauntings, tragedies, and Charleston’s unique past. We take pride in offering truly authentic experiences, using a storytelling tradition that connects history and the supernatural.
Why choose us? Original and Authentic: We have been delivering the real Charleston ghost story experience since 1979. No gimmicks, just history and haunting tales.
Locally Owned and Operated: As a small, family-run business, we are deeply connected to Charleston. This city is our home, and its stories are part of our legacy. Due to high demand, availability is limited. For the most up-to-date schedules and special offerings, please search for The Original Ghostwalk of Charleston online.
