Word on the street
What locals are saying
Tricia Goren has been leading this tour since 1979 — Charleston's first ghost tour and still locally owned, rooted in Gullah dialect, carriage-guide knowledge, and real paranormal photography rather than a rehearsed script. The small-group format is its genuine edge: guides share live evidence and personal ghost-hunting experience, and the intimacy produces the kind of unscripted moments — a streetlight shaking on cue, a flash near Nicholas Trott's home — that bigger franchise tours can't manufacture. The one honest caveat: if you're expecting atmospheric site access over sidewalk storytelling, you may leave wanting more square footage and fewer footpaths.
