Charleston Haunting History Ghost Tour

This one of a kind ghost tour led by a lifelong local and licensed guided Gia Nocturne is an in depth view on paranormal activity here in the Holy City. Through Gia’s own experiences guest will learn what to look out for and how several spirits have come to be associated with historic locations in Charleston. This tour specifically covers ground in what was the original walled portion of Charleston and as such our most historic and haunted district. Please note this is not an active ghost hunt but rather the reflections of a local guide walking on the same streets she would have as a child and as such some of the most impressive knowledge base for paranormal activity in the city! Guests will leave with a sense of what to look for with the signs of encounters all around us and why certain locations have certain activity but most of all a yearning to continue the search on your own after the tour!
