Walk the Haunted Streets of Charleston!
By George Olney
Charleston bids fair to be the most haunted city in the
United States. That's a highly believable claim when
standing in a graveyard in the black of night listening to
tour guide David Hinson give eloquent justice to the
macabre stories of the dying little girl's black dog or the
two best friends and the stillborn baby. That's when you
realize that "openly transparent" may be a good term for
whoever - or whatever - is standing next to you.
Bulldog Tours of Charleston will happily roam back three
hundred spooky years or so with you on a dark Charleston
night with a variety of tours that will try your nerve. They
offer tours of the city's oldest church graveyards, the city
dungeon of the 1700s, and a building straight out of a
Gothic horror tale - the old city jail. If you don't manage to
meet up with any of the "regular" residents during your
tour, the well trained and knowledgeable guide will still let
you know all the eerie details of how certain spirits came to
be uneasy and very permanent residents of the spot
where you might be standing.
If unquiet spirits in the dark of night aren't quite your thing,
Bulldog Tours also offers a stroll through Charleston's
steamy history, the thirty or forty bordellos that made it
that way, and the assorted less-than-upright shenanigans
of the upright citizens of the time. That walking tour is
most definitely R-rated.
Contacting Bulldog Tours, located at 40 Market Street, for
tour reservations is highly recommended. Charleston
closely regulates the tour business and tour size is sternly
limited to no more than twenty people.
- Ticket Office: 40 North Market Street, Charleston.
