Overview

Come walk with us on The Ghosts of Charleston walking tour, leaving nightly from Buxton Books, Charleston’s independent bookstore located at 160 King Street.

Our licensed guides are expert storytellers who lead you through centuries old alleys and paths while sharing stories and solid history from Julian Buxton’s best-selling book, The Ghosts of Charleston. The true tales of intrigue, tragedy, and lost love reveal a rich underside of Charleston’s character that isn’t apparent during the day.

The highlight of your tour is our exclusive nighttime access to the 18th century Unitarian Church Graveyard, where you will experience something magical. The Ghosts of Charleston is Buxton Books’ signature and most popular book-based walking tour -- a favorite of visitors and locals for over 27 years.

*Travelers may select either a 1-hour Graveyard Only Tour or a 1.5-hour full Ghosts of Charleston tour which includes Unitarian Graveyard and tour of haunted downtown Charleston.

Pass By: Tour Charleston, 160 King St, Charleston, SC 29401

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.

Stop At: Unitarian Church in Charleston, 8 Archdale St, Charleston, SC 29401-1959

The highlight of Tour Charleston's Ghosts of Charleston Tour is entering the lush, spellbinding Unitarian Church Graveyard built in 1772. Real time hauntings occur only a handful of times a year. However, since 1996, when we started what is now Charleston's oldest ghost tour, spirits in the Unitarian Church Graveyard have reached out to many people on our tour in visual, tactile and auditory ways.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Buxton Books, 160 King St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA

Brian was a great guide! Good stops and stories. It was fun to end the tour in the grave yard at night with only flashlights.

Brian was an awesome guide! So friendly, sweet, fun and informative. I’ve been on another ghost tour, but this one was wonderful thanks to our great guide.

We had a pleasant experience on this walking ghost tour as a husband and wife. We were fortunate to have lovely weather, which added to our enjoyment. One of the highlights was being able to visit an actual graveyard. The tour focused on providing in-depth stories at each of the five stops, prioritizing quality over quantity. Our only minor concern was that the tour started slowly in a parking lot and had a loose connection to a ghost story near the water. Initially, we were worried that all the stories would be like that, but we were pleased to find that the remaining stops featured stories that took place at the locations we walked to.

Great Experience! The perfect balance of local history and well documented sightings. This made the tour much more believable and realistic than other ghost tours I have done.
