Charleston Haunted Horse and Carriage Evening Tour
Overview
As the sun sets on Charleston, the city's history takes a darker turn. Board your carriage at the historic Big Red Barn for an evening ride through the old walled city, where your guide shares centuries of ghost stories, hauntings, and unsolved mysteries tied to the churches, graveyards, and cobblestone streets you'll pass along the way. It's the same trusted carriage experience Palmetto Carriage Works has offered for over 50 years — just after dark, when Charleston's past feels a little closer. Evening departures make this a cooler, more atmospheric way to see the city, with local ghost lore and haunted history told by guides from Charleston's oldest carriage company. You'll ride with the same well-cared-for horses and certified guides as our daytime tours, making it a great choice for couples, small groups, and anyone who loves a good ghost story.
