This nighttime walking tour looks into Charleston's shadowy history at sites the operator calls the city's most eerie. You wind through the dark corridors of the Historic District while your local guide shares stories of graveyard hauntings, voodoo, and botched burials. Along the way you pass locations the listing describes as infamous, with grisly histories, and wander through Charleston's oldest cemetery after hours.
The draw here is after-hours access to Charleston's oldest cemetery, which the tour wanders through at night. Along the way a local guide leads you through the Historic District's dark corridors, sharing stories of graveyard hauntings, voodoo, and botched burials, and passing locations the listing calls infamous. If standing inside an old cemetery after dark is the specific experience you want, this format is built around it.
Charleston embraces its haunted side openly, and a graveyard walk trades broad landmark coverage for atmosphere in one storied setting. The after-hours cemetery access is the kind of thing you cannot do on your own, which is much of the appeal. The subject matter suits older kids and adults more than very young children.
