Activity Description
Explore the mysterious city of Charleston, with its centuries old defiance and its shimmering beauty with a local author and native Charlestonian. Julian Buxton, author of the book The Ghosts of Charleston, will lead you through our historic streets and reveal the stories of the city's soul on this guided, narrated walking tour.
In addition to the tour, everyone receives a signed copy of Mr. Buxton's book, The Ghosts of Charleston.
The Ghosts of Charleston recounts some of the myriad ghost stories of the city. These stories of real, existing specters, include:
- The plight of the headless confederate soldier
- The tragic experience of the spirit captured in the spectral photograph
- The ghost of the old Garden Theatre
- The crazed specter hanging from the rafters of the Wagener Building.
"In all societies and from the earliest times men have feared the return of the dead. The idea of an entity, doomed to walk the earth in the lonely silence of spirit because of some deed or action connected to its mortal life, wakes us to a terrifying degree of accountability for how we, the living, lead our daily lives.
"Some people discard spirits as out of the realm of possibility, despite recorded experiences with ghosts throughout the ages. An intellectual position that dogmatically denies the existence of ghosts is as unscientific as it is narrow-minded. A person may feel more at ease in the world by clinging to denial regarding the spirit realm. But that does nothing to negate its existence."
