The Whispers of Charleston
Come walk the streets with me, as we make stops throughout the city. As we stop I'll point out everything, tell you every story, every haunting, and give you the history behind what we are looking at and where we are. So come stroll with me as we flip over every stone, but remember not every stone may want to be uncovered and have its hauntings exposed!
