Bewitching Ghost Tours Return to Beaufort This October for Thrilling Historical Adventures

Bewitching Ghost Tours Return to Beaufort!

Welcome to Beaufort, where the cobblestone streets and historic buildings don’t just hold stories of the past—they’re alive with ghostly encounters! If you’ve been itching for a little thrill this October, there’s still time to join the fun on the 30th annual Ghost Tours presented by the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) and the Exchange Club of Beaufort. Mark your calendars, as these spooky adventures will take place over two weekends: from October 18 to 20 and again from October 25 to 27.

Experience the Haunting History

Picture this: You’re strolling through Beaufort’s Historic District, the moon casting a silvery glow over the puffed-up moss hanging from the trees. As you walk, a costumed storyteller regales you with eerie tales of the region’s haunted past. These tours are not just for thrill-seekers; they weave together historical accounts and chilling folklore, captivating enthusiasts and skeptics alike!

The tours last about an hour, and you have the choice of walking or taking a carriage ride. Imagine being pulled along in a carriage—a perfect way to soak in the ambiance while letting your imagination run wild with stories of ghosts and spirits that have lingered in the shadows of this charming town. So far, there’s no shortage of ghostly tales to tell, as these narratives come from some of Beaufort’s oldest residents, passed on from generation to generation.

Who Haunts the Castle?

One of the most famous ghost stories surrounds “the Castle,” a 19th-century estate perched along the river in downtown Beaufort. According to legend, it’s said to be the home of the oldest ghost in America! Could you imagine encountering a ghostly figure emerging from the shadows during your tour? It has happened before, so tread carefully!

To Join or Not to Join?

Ticket prices for this enchanting experience are quite affordable: walking tour tickets are just $20 for all ages, while carriage tours ring in at $20 for children aged 3 to 11 and $30 for adults. What’s more, every child must be accompanied by an adult, so it’s perfect for family outings or date nights with a spooky twist!

Reserve Your Spot

As these tours are quite popular, it’s strongly recommended that you make reservations in advance. You can easily secure your spot online or by calling the number provided. This way, you won’t end up missing out on an unforgettable experience filled with both **laughter and fright**.

Why You Should Go

Joining the Ghost Tours in Beaufort not only promises to be an exciting evening out, but it also supports a noble cause. All proceeds benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) of Beaufort County, making your spine-tingling adventure a way to give back to the community. How’s that for a haunting good time with a purpose?

So, gather your friends, pack your curiosity, and come share an evening of ghostly tales and laughter in Beaufort. You might just encounter a spirit or two along the way!
