The Journey

1

Circular Congregational Church Graveyard

Venture into the Circular Congregational Church Graveyard, a serene yet hauntingly beautiful site where centuries of Charleston's residents rest. Established in 1681, it's one of the oldest graveyards in the city, a tapestry of weathered tombstones and captivating stories etched in stone. See the final resting places of notable figures, and feel the weight of history as you wander among the ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss.

2

Historic Charleston Streets

Immerse yourself in the history of Charleston as our tour winds through its historic streets. Admire the architectural grandeur of antebellum homes, learn about the pivotal events that shaped the city, and soak in the ambiance of this timeless locale. Each corner holds a story, and every cobblestone whispers secrets of the past.

3

Haunted Alleyway

Brave the depths of a haunted Charleston alleyway, where the echoes of the past linger in the shadows. Discover chilling tales and palpable evidence of the city's darker history as you tread upon the very ground where significant, and sometimes sinister, events unfolded. Prepare to be captivated, and perhaps unnerved, by the mysteries hidden within these narrow passages.

4

Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon

Descend into the depths of the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, a chilling reminder of Charleston's colonial past. Built in 1771, this imposing structure served as a prison during the Revolutionary War. Learn about the plight of the 'poor souls' who were imprisoned within its cold, damp walls, and experience the unsettling atmosphere that still permeates this historic site. A place to contemplate the fragility of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit.

5

Washington Square Park

Conclude your tour at Washington Square Park, a seemingly peaceful oasis with a dark and disturbing past. Once a public space for hangings and executions, this park carries a heavy weight of history. Reflect on the lives lost and the justice served (or denied) as you stand on this hallowed ground. A somber but essential reminder of Charleston's complex and often brutal past. Captain Bryan saves the most intense experience for last.
