Welcome to Charleston! Charleston is a city of ancient memory and traditions. As a small child I devoured the tales of my ancestors related to me by my elders. I have always felt that this is not my first life in the City by the Sea. I have been a Certified Charleston Tour Guide since 1981, starting out as a stable hand and then a carriage driver. Later I moved on to bus tours. Today I do walking tours and private passenger driving tours of my lovely old home town My talent lies in creating a story line that is both entertaining and educational. Having spent numerous years in Health Care outreach, I attended many seminars that taught me strategies that convey information in a manner that is compelling , interesting and relatable. After all , you dont come for a college lecture, you come for the fun! I am a student of history, not just Charleston history, but national and international history as well. Charleston history did not happen in a bubble; I expose it in relation to the events that created it. My goal is that when we part ways, that you will have a better context on the city and that you will share my love of Charleston, SC , "America's Most Historic City"!

Hear the haunting and ghastly tales of old Charleston whispered from generation to generation!
Overview of your Charleston tour
Join me on my "Spectral Adventure" through Charleston! This hour and a half walking tour introduces you to the tales and legends of an ancient city. Hear tales of ghosts and graveyards, the legends of an ancient city that have been passed on in a whisper from generation to generation, told by a master storyteller, me! This is not just a history tour in the dark - I will weave tales of decapitation, hanging, live burial and tragic demise. Both legend and truth, some are stories I learned as a child, others are from John Bennett's ghastly old Charleston Ghost classic 'Doctor to the Dead', published in 1941. I will also relate my own personal Ghost Encounter -- which happened when touring with a group! And who knows, you might experience one of your own with me on your tour! Start it after supper, or choose a time as the sun is setting for maximum effect. Charleston takes on a different feel after dark. Come join me on this ghost adventure!
