Haunted Charleston: Hidden History Walking Tour

Charleston is considered one of the most haunted cities in the country, with ghost stories around every corner. However, the truth behind these tales is often more terrifying than the stories themselves. Being a native of Charleston, I have always been drawn to this aspect of the Holy City, this hidden history. . . As a 25 year veteran of storytelling and performance, I live for these tales and the opportunity to share them with others. As we visit the Waterfront and the Historic District, you will hear about the dark fate of Anna Ravenel, the ghost ship linked to Alexander Hamilton's killer, and how Blackbeard took Charleston hostage, to name just a few. Thoughout the tour, we'll dive into Charleston's history of piracy, wars, disasters, diseases, and duels. You will see Charleston from its beginnings to the modern day through the lens of its hauntings. On this walking tour, we'll be covering approximately 1 mile in distance.
