Combining aspects of the truly horrific, the scandalously salacious, 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.

Keshia, who's Tour Guide was Lance.

Lance is an amazing tour guide, it’s clear he loves what he does! He’s a storyteller in all senses and keeps you hanging in every word. Not only do you get some spooky fun stories, but also a lot of information about the history of Charleston. A must do!

Emma, who took this tour with her group of Adult friends.

I was in Charleston for a few days in March for my sister's bachelorette trip, and the main thing I wanted to do was a ghost tour. I booked this mainly for thr adults only caveat,and boy did we have a great time! Lance was completely charming and engaging to begin with and had such a great sense of humor and a wealth of knowledge about each stop. I'd absolutely recommend his tour to anyone interested in the gritty history!
