Bringing the ghosts of Charleston to life

Published on Feb, 2025

Mike Brown was our guide and he had many wonderful stories to tell us about the ghosts of Charleston. He had many pictures to show us that aided the story telling greatly and made the stories very believable. Mike was on time, very organized and has done lots of personal research on each of the stories he related to us. It was a dark and stormy night...

Great time!

Interesting and entertaining storytelling. Michael weaved a narrative that provided context and compelling rationale. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Great Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

Well-told and engaging stories that also teach a little local history! We were part of a small group. It wasn't too walking-intensive. Visual aids were included in the stories and our guide included is own experiences-- very cool!
