Don't miss this one. Brandon is tops!! - Brandon was spectacular in his knowledge of Charleston. He is clearly a history buff and shows great story telling skills by keeping you in suspense. He is very kind, easy going, and no question is ridiculous. He is helpful after the tour in giving directions back to hotels or restaurant recommendation. We've been on no less than 25 ghost tours (love dark side of history). He is a close 2nd in story tellers that I've encounter. It is a skill that no everyone has but fortunately Brandon does. The number #1 was in Charleston as well.

Awesome experience! - The ghost tour was amazing. The guide handed out emf monitors and I held one and I got to see it jump into the yellow and red as he told the ghost stories. It was so cool!

Must do - Brandon was the best tour guide! Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he was sharing! Saw a lot of different sites and heard a lot of different stories! Really enjoyed the interactive portion with the “EMF” to track ghost activity while telling the stories!

True Crime meets Paranormal investigation - Brandon texted me a few hours before to give me a heads up about parking and helpful information before the tour started. He brought us to 6 spots all in a relatively close proximity. He had fun stories for each spot and the last two spots he brought EMF readers, which was a fun touch for the ghost tour because it let a few of us do a “paranormal investigation” at the two most active spots. We had a really good time and would recommend.

Entertaining but oversold - Brandon was a very knowledgeable and passionate story teller and we enjoyed the majority of the tour. We were a bit disappointed that the tour promised no more than 12 people and we had 16 in our group. We ended up leaving the tour early when one of the stories dragged on for over 20 minutes. But overall it was an enjoyable tour.
