Annual Beaufort Ghost Tours

Beaufort’s ghosts, ghouls and freaks are coming out at night as the 29th year of CAPA’s Ghost Tours hit the streets of downtown Beaufort this month.

The historic moss-lined streets of Beaufort are full of interesting ghostly stories and you can make plans to get spooked while taking a haunted tour beginning October 13th and you’ll hear lots of eerie accounts retelling haunted stories about our historic town.

Sponsored by The Exchange Club of Beaufort, Ghost tours will be available as either a 45-minute carriage ride or a 60-minute walking tour meeting ghosts and ghouls along the way who will reveal scary Beaufort stories that have been passed down for generations.

Legendary ghosts of Beaufort include Gauche, the 15th Century French dwarf who rumored to roam “The Castle” at 411 Craven Street. Gauche is said to be one of America’s oldest ghosts. Other ghostly stories include William Baynard, the unknown spirits living in Wigg-Barnwell House and Frogmore Manor, the Land’s End Light, the ghostly lovers of Fripp Island Beach.

Sign up now to take a narrated carriage ride or walking tour through Beaufort’s Historic District while listening to stories of the ghosts that are rumored to haunt Beaufort’s historic homes.
