You will explore Charleston's seedier history. From the city's brothels to gritty true crime stories, We will open the door to the darker side of human nature. Combining aspects of the truly horrific, the scandalously sensual, and the just-plan-weird, this ghost tour is a unique look at a city that largely ignores its dark past. Brothels, murders, suicides, demonic entities - just some of what you'll hear about on this tour. The Death and Depravity Ghost Tour contains mature themes and language.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
As one of few surviving structures from the colonial period, the Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina has the benefit of time on its side. The structure was built in 1713 by British colonists to house guns and ammunition so that the fledgling colony could protect itself from the dangers around it. Its solid walls kept Charleston’s weapons safe for over one hundred years before being decommissioned. It’s safe to say this building has seen a lot of action from, Indian wars and Spanish threats to French invasion and colonist insurrection. And, if you believe the local lore, it’s said that some of those who fought and died in these exchanges never left.
2.
No historical landmark in Charleston, South Carolina, is as well-recognized as the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon at 122 East Bay Street. From its elegantly Georgian appearance to the deeply troubled and haunted basement beneath the street level, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon has been one building which has truly lived historic Charleston. And, by all accounts, it continues to live in the past every day. Ghosts are said to roam its stately halls, and the startling cries of long-dead prisoners in the dungeon can still be heard. Today, the combined Old Exchange and the Provost Dungeon is now a museum which offers daily tours from 9-5pm. If these walls could talk, the secrets we would learn . . . Well, it’s safe to say that these walls would be haunted.
3.
This is the starting location of the tour. We will discuss the ghosts of the pirates that still haunt this location.
4.
Here we discuss the graveyard and the city's oldest tomb.
5.
The church, haunted by soldiers of The Revolutionary War.

The tour seemed to be unorganized from the beginning, as the 3 tour guides were dividing groups. Who was checking people and who should not.

Ghost tour was more like a history tour. Not scary and feel parts of the tour was skipped over.

Tour guide couldn't stay focused for the tour. Forgot about stop's and after we went by them he would remember. Then at the end he left us in the middle of the historic district and didn't take us back to the start point

Disappointing. Stayed on major roads. Poor stories by a poor story teller. Nothing scary. Really a poor yet expensive experience. Half the group left half way through. We wish we had also.

If I could rate this a zero, I would. Our tour guide Laura was inappropriate, primarily catered to two wildly inappropriate grown men on our trip who were trying to play at being rowdy class clowns (who the guide also see/knew they were openly drinking and heard them make frequent sexual and homophobic jokes). My mother and I left early - and we honestly should've left after the first time she encouraged these two mens' sexual and homophobic statements (I would say jokes, but they were objectively not funny). We noticed many other women on the tour were uncomfortable.
