Ghosty with the Misty - This was a fantastic tour. My 15 year old daughter and I visited Charleston for her birthday trip and a ghost tour was her #1 request. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging. The tour itself had plenty of spooky spots and stories. Definitely recommend!

Great tour In Charleston - We had a wonderful time with Brandon who was an excellent host! He had great stories of events that happened hundreds of years ago as well as weeks or months ago. He has bug spray but if you have a preferred brand bring it. You will need it!

Host with the Most - Brandon was an amazing Ghost Host and made this tour better than any other haunting tour I’ve been on! The smaller group setting let everyone feel engaged with while still keeping the stories going at a great pace!

Ghost tour, Lock it in! - Great tour with Brandon! He not only has insightful spirit and ghost information, but he also has tons of history packed in his brain! Very interesting. It's definitely worth the price. ( fair price) Brandon kept us on our toes and answered any questions the group had. He was good at telling the back story before spanking out the ghost angle! He challenged the group with some very cool ad-on facts, Edgar Allen Poe, Middletowns, etc. Would go again. All ages except really young children would enjoy it. It was super hot and humid the day we went, but we made it until the end. Bring H20 and/or electrolytes! You'll need them. Turner Ashby and family say Thanks!

Small walking tour after dark is best ghost tour - Brandon blended fascinating historical accounts with fun supernatural twists to make for a hoot of a tour. Go after dark and let your imagination run wild. He walks you to creepy places like cemeteries, dark alleyways and a dungeon to give you a much better feel for the places than from a carriage or bus. He made believers of us!

Ghost walk - Brandon was very friendly and a great story teller! He was also pretty funny! He was very thoughtful and asked me first if I thought my daughter should see a picture he was showing the group. She is 17 but I think he could tell she was delayed and a little apprehensive about the tour. He also did something pretty cool that I was super excited to get to try!! I won’t spoil the surprise. I didn’t read many reviews so I had no idea he was doing it. I did a tour in Charleston about 25 years ago but I don’t remember the stories or locations being the same which was great! I also really liked that this was a small group tour. I heard Brandon giving suggestions to some of the group on his recommendations on where to eat and things to do which I thought was great! I highly recommend this tour to others!
