Ghosts of Charleston

We had a great time. Albin (our guide) was very good and had some amazing stories. He was very knowledgeable and showed us places where people have seen or felt a presence. Some of these were horrible but he did a great job so I felt what these poor people were feeling. Albin was wonderful. Thanks for a great experience
