Explore a historic Charleston church, uncover its layered past, and use paranormal detection devices on a hands-on ghost hunt.
About this tour
Step inside a historic Charleston church and explore its shadowy rooms on an active paranormal investigation. Dating to the mid-1850s, the building has served as a church, a Confederate medical storehouse, a site seized by federal forces, and a manuscript and document museum. It is now closed to the general public, making this gathering a rare chance to see its historic architecture up close.
This is more than a storytelling tour. Your group can use a range of paranormal detection devices supplied for the investigation, or bring your own equipment. As you explore, take in the building’s layered past and eerie atmosphere while keeping an open mind about what you might encounter. Cold water is provided, and the experience lasts 120 minutes.
Meet on the left side of Saint James Methodist Church/Karpeles Manuscript Museum, near the small parking lot. Join this Charleston paranormal experience for a hands-on ghost hunt in a place few visitors get to enter.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Charleston
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
