Overview of your Charleston tour:

The story of Charleston is one that is known by many historians and locals. However, there is another backstory of the Holy City that is much less known. This is the hidden history of Native American legends and Gullah folklore, of the shadow people and shapeshifters. As we stroll through the City Market and French Quarter, you will learn why Boo Hags and Plateyes are some of Charleston's most feared creatures. Then moving further into the Historic District, we will visit the Duelist Alley, explore the history behind the Vengeful Ghost of America's 1st female serial killer, and discover the truth behind the Hidden Body of Anna Ravenel. On this tour, you will see where the infamous Doctor of the Dead once experimented and the Apothecary where the Mermaid was on display. Walk with a Charleston Native and hear tales as only a master storyteller can tell them.
