The Death and Depravity Ghost Tour in Charleston
Beschrijving
Ontrafel Charlestons donkerste geheimen tijdens de Death and Depravity Ghost Tour. Niet voor de zwakkeren. Dit is Charleston zoals je het nog nooit hebt gezien – rauw, ongefilterd en krioelend van de geesten uit zijn meest sinistere verleden. Trek de sluier van de meest schaamteloze geheimen van de Heilige Stad weg. Van schimmige steegjes ooit omzoomd met bordelen tot de bebloede hoeken van de ware misdaadgeschiedenis, deze ervaring voor volwassenen legt de verwrongen onderbuik van de stad bloot. Je stapt in een wereld van schandaal, zonde en het bovennatuurlijke – waar verlangen dodelijk werd en gerechtigheid vaak allesbehalve was. Bereid je voor op verhalen die tot op het bot bekoelen: gruwelijke moorden, tragische zelfmoorden, rusteloze geesten en gefluister dat nog steeds in de donkerste hoeken van Charleston spookt. Dit zijn de verhalen die de meeste tours niet durven te vertellen – en die Charleston zelf liever vergeet. Durf jij met de doden mee te lopen?

Als een van de weinige overgebleven bouwwerken uit de koloniale periode heeft het Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina, het voordeel van de tijd aan zijn kant. De structuur werd in 1713 gebouwd door Britse kolonisten om geweren en munitie te huisvesten, zodat de jonge kolonie zichzelf kon beschermen tegen de gevaren eromheen. De massieve muren hielden de wapens van Charleston meer dan honderd jaar veilig voordat ze werden ontmanteld. Het is veilig om te zeggen dat dit gebouw veel actie heeft gezien van Indiase oorlogen en Spaanse bedreigingen voor de Franse invasie en kolonistenopstand. En, als je de lokale overlevering gelooft, er wordt gezegd dat sommigen van degenen die tijdens deze uitwisselingen vochten en stierven, nooit zijn vertrokken.
Geen historisch monument in Charleston, South Carolina, wordt zo goed herkend als de Old Exchange en Provost Dungeon op 122 East Bay Street. Van zijn elegant Georgische uiterlijk tot de diep verontruste en spookachtige kelder onder het straatniveau, de Old Exchange en Provost Dungeon is een gebouw geweest dat echt het historische Charleston heeft geleefd. En in alle opzichten blijft het elke dag in het verleden leven. Er wordt gezegd dat geesten door de statige zalen zwerven, en de verrassende kreten van lang geleden overleden gevangenen in de kerker zijn nog steeds te horen. Tegenwoordig is de gecombineerde Old Exchange en de Provost Dungeon nu een museum dat dagelijks rondleidingen biedt van 21:00 tot 17:00 uur. Als deze muren konden praten, zouden we de geheimen leren. . . Nou, het is veilig om te zeggen dat deze muren spookachtig zouden zijn.
Dit is de startlocatie van de tour. We zullen de geesten van de piraten bespreken die nog steeds op deze locatie rondspoken.
Hier bespreken we het kerkhof en het oudste graf van de stad.
De kerk, achtervolgd door soldaten van de Revolutionaire Oorlog.

We loved the history we learned about while being entertained with the ghost stories. Our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely recommend this tour. Wear comfortable shoes with the uneven brick terrain.
Our tour guide explained first off that he was a history teacher which made us feel like we were in good hands and in for a good tour. However, it ended up being more like I was in a classroom cramming for a test of History facts. There was a lot of information thrown at us very quickly and little emotion when the ghost facts were actually brought up. There was no storytelling. It was more just factual telling. He did not wait for the group to all be together before he started explaining the next stop as some people were stopping to take pictures ( as most people do on a tour) so if you were one of the people that stopped to take pictures, you missed the beginning half of the next stop. It just felt very rushed and the stuff that was told to us was referred to like we already knew the story, so a lot of us were lost a lot of the time. For it to be such a highly recommended ghost tour, I didn't leave feeling like I knew much about the ghost history of this town. But I can tell you a lot about the civil war and where government documents were written 🤷🏼♀️
This tour was nothing like it was described. The whole thing was bland and boring. No clue why it was “adults only” as there was nothing “depraved” about it. The guide was underwhelming as was his stories. We’ve been on other tours and this was by far the worst experience we’ve had yet.
Underwhelming. We walked away shaking our heads wondering if we got the right tour. It had some nice historical facts but super light on the paranormal portion. There were other tours going into places and we just stood looking through the bars like sad kids not invited to the party. Frankly, it was boring.
If we had to describe our Death and Depravity Ghost Tour in a single word, "disappointing" immediately comes to mind. When we booked the tour, we expressed some concerns about the amount of walking that was required for the tour. We have some minor mobility limitations that we feared might interfere. However, we were assured by the booking agent that the amount of walking was doable and that, as a precaution, the tour guide would be made aware to make certain that the pace of the tour would accommodate all of the guests. As we “dashed" to our first stop on the tour, we suspected that the message may not have been conveyed properly or even worse - ignored. At one point late in the tour, the guide finally noticed we were lagging behind and said “I’m sorry if am I walking too fast- that’s just how I am” and made no noticeable attempt to alter the pace. The tour finished well within 90 minute suggesting that there was adequate time to complete the tour. The tour guide, although enthusiastic, knowledgeable and armed with some interesting facts and stories, led the tour of 10 guests. While walking, she conversed with the smaller group who were closest to her while the rest of us were left following the entourage. At the stops she was inclusive and careful to ensure we had time to wander and take photos. Overall, she had some interesting stories to tell at each stop and often made the stories relatable to more current events, TV shows and historical characters. Regarding her presentation, we were appalled by the inappropriate language that we heard throughout the evening. A professional presentation can be delivered without F-bombs and curse words. We consider ourselves inclusive and generally liberal in our thinking, but we believe that events such as this call for a higher standard. Our guide, a well-educated individual having over 20,000 words available in the English language from which to choose, should be able to present without relying upon the offensive language that we heard tonight. This tour fell short of our expectations. Our time and money could have been spent more productively elsewhere.
We had a great time on the tour and enjoyed our tour guide, Veronica! The stories were captivating, but we learned some contradictory information from other museums which calls into question the stories told on the tour. Make sure you check the facts, especially at the Provost/Dungeon if reliable history info is important to you. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear you had a great time with Veronica and found the stories captivating. We appreciate you noting the discrepancies you encountered—balancing folklore, legend, and documented history can be nuanced, and your perspective is valuable. Your comments will be shared with our team as we continue refining how we present historical context alongside local lore. Thanks again for joining us! 👻✨
Veronica was amazing! The tour was super fun. We actually learned a lot about the history. The stories were great. Our guide knew exactly how to answer the questions, she was engaging, funny and welcomed questions, comments and shared humor. The no kids policy for this tour was perfect. The best part was her light saber light which helped guide the way. We would take this tour again. Thanks for a great night!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear Veronica made the night such a fun and memorable experience. It’s great that you enjoyed the mix of history, stories, humor, and interaction—and the no-kids policy clearly helped set the perfect tone. The lightsaber guiding the way is definitely a fan favorite! We truly appreciate the kind words and would love to welcome you back again for another great night out. 👻✨
Not much death and very little depravity. Need to spice up this tour with more seedy storytelling. People can get history from museums and carriage rides. Ghost tours should make people believers in the supernatural (and not ho hum).
Thank you for your candid feedback. We understand your disappointment and appreciate you sharing your perspective. Our goal is to balance history with the supernatural, but it sounds like this tour leaned too far toward the historical side for your expectations. Your comments about wanting darker, more seedy storytelling are noted and will be shared with our team as we continue refining the experience. We value honest input like this, and it helps us improve.
Didn't see any spirits but learned a lot. Great tour and guide. Such an interesting city, rich with history.
Thank you for joining us! Even when the spirits stay hidden, we’re glad you enjoyed learning about the city’s rich history and had a great time with your guide. We appreciate the kind words and hope you’ll join us again for another tour! 👻✨
Great small trip around parts of CHS. Didn’t get to go on any grounds, but very informative. Would recommend.
Thank you for the review! While access to certain grounds isn’t always possible, we’re glad you found the tour informative and worthwhile. We appreciate the recommendation!
