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. The Powder Magazine
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. Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon
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. Joe Riley Waterfront Park
This is the starting location of the tour. We will discuss the ghosts of the pirates that still haunt this location.
4. Circular Congregational Church
Here we discuss the graveyard and the city's oldest tomb.
5. Unitarian Church in Charleston
The church, haunted by soldiers of The Revolutionary War.

The story of the first female serial killer was very interesting. There were too many stories that were great to pick one

Storytelling and content was sub par. We tried to enjoy the experience, but sadly neither of us felt it was worthwhile.

It's was a good ghost tour, but it wasn't what was advertised. Just a typical 'these people died here and haunt the streets' tour. No brothels, nothing seedy or salacious. It was interesting but nothing that I wouldn't think another tour wouldn't have.

The guide, I believe, was purposely silly and kitschy. But...the description did not really match the tour. Web were obviously not expecting to see ghosts, but its was supposed to be spooky with stories about ghosts, brothels, cemeteries and it was just meh and corny.
