Featured on Fox 5 News, Charles Town Ghost Tours offers two very different historic and haunted experiences. A traditional ghost tour is a chilling two hour walk through the historic district. Visit two cemeteries and enter the haunted basement of the oldest graveyard in town. All of the stories you will hear are authentic and documented. Visit over fifteen stops and hear the tormented tales of over 100 wandering spirits. Our newest tour is our "Cemetery Stroll," a popular two hour event featuring haunted stories, the history of the Victorian Era (and earlier) monuments in two of the most beautiful and historic graveyards in town. Cameras and video and audio equipment are welcome as many unexplained photos, voice recordings and videos have been captured. Comfortable shoes and flashlights are recommended and reservations are required. Private tours are also available.

We've lived in the Charles Town area for 25+ years and haven't had such a great experience as this! Saw lots of moving orbs in the church basement which was amazing! Definitely recommend. Thanks, Ann, for a great time! :)

“Great stories”

This is definitely one of the best ghost tours I've experienced. The guide was very knowledgeable on the history for this area and made it interesting. Time and money well spent.

“Pokemon Can Wait - Go Find The Ghosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2016

Charles Town is one of those small, historic gems worth visiting due to the concentration of history, which includes such prominent people as the Washingtons, but is more storied by the everyday people who worked, who struggled, who fought and who died making a life or supporting a cause. History is a funny thing - it is always sleeping just... More

We enjoyed this tour and Rick does a great job at entertaining all ages. If we stayed in the area longer I would likes to have done a day tour with him too!

Hi folks! I've written tripadvisor multiple times asking for this review to be placed on Ghost Tours of Harpers Ferry as it belongs there. Our ghost tour is more suited for older children and adults as some of the stories are very graphic and we do have visits from those who lived here long ago. I hope to hear from... More

“Great fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2013 via mobile

Your tour guide, who has extensive knowledge of the areas history, makes sure not to leave anything out as you follow her around the historic town. You will more than likely leave with unexplainable pictures/events that happened while on the tour. Its great fun for those of you who believe in the paranormal! I would highly reccomend it.

“Creepy, but in the good way.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2011

Follow your tour guide (dressed in period costume) around the streets of Charles Town and learn of the past that could make any spirit restless. This quaint town has history to spare, just the history related to the John Brown raid on Harpers Ferry would be enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck, but the tour... More

This was the first ghost tour I had ever been on so I didn't know exactly what to exact. Well I was blown away by this tour. It was amazing! Ann knows her info!

“A scary good time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2011

I've attended the Charles Town Ghost Tours for three years, and I've had a great time on every tour. The stories are spine-tingling, the graveyards are eerie, the tour guide is excellent, and you never know which ghost will choose to make an appearance.
