Ghosts of Charleston Night-Time Walking Tour with Unitarian Church Graveyard

Come walk with us on The Ghosts of Charleston walking tour, leaving nightly from Buxton Books, Charleston’s independent bookstore located at 160 King Street.

The true tales of intrigue, tragedy, and lost love reveal a rich underside of Charleston’s character that isn’t apparent during the day. The highlight of your tour is our exclusive nighttime access to the 18th century Unitarian Church Graveyard, where you will experience something magical. The Ghosts of Charleston is Buxton Books’ signature and most popular book-based walking tour -- a favorite of visitors and locals for over 27 years. *Travelers may select either a 1-hour Graveyard Only Tour or a 1.5-hour full Ghosts of Charleston tour which includes Unitarian Graveyard and tour of haunted downtown Charleston.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Ghosts of Charleston tour? Thinking of gifting this to my niece who's 12.

A: The tour is suitable for all ages, but keep in mind that the stories can be a bit spooky. I’ve seen kids as young as 10 enjoy it, but it really depends on your niece's comfort level with ghost stories! Just check with the guide if you're unsure.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather's bad? I want to get this for a birthday gift!

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure you contact them at least 24 hours in advance if you need to change your booking due to weather. They’re pretty flexible and want you to enjoy the experience without rain ruining the fun!

Q: How difficult is the tour? I’ve got a grandparent who loves ghost stories but might struggle with walking.

A: The Ghosts of Charleston tour is relatively easy-paced. It’s mostly walking on flat ground and there are plenty of stops to sit down during the storytelling. Just let the guide know about your grandparent's needs, and they'll accommodate as best they can!

Just did the Ghosts of Charleston tour - it was amazing!

I took the 1.5-hour Ghosts of Charleston tour last weekend, and wow, what a great way to spend a night in Charleston! The guide was super knowledgeable and the stories totally captivated me. The Unitarian Church Graveyard was the highlight for sure - so eerie but beautiful! Highly recommend this as a gift experience for anyone who loves history or spooky tales!
