Historic Downtown Charleston (founded 1670) · Charleston Harbor / Fort Sumter viewshed
Nightly Spirits operates ghost walks and haunted pub crawls in roughly 20 cities nationwide under a single brand. Its Charleston program covers Historic Downtown Charleston, founded in 1670, and includes a Booze and Boos pub crawl, an 18-and-up Nightmares and Nightcaps tour beginning at a bar, and a pirate-themed all-ages Swashbuckling Spooktacular Ghost Walk starting outside Henry's on the Market.
The company maintains an active review presence for its Charleston tours on Tripadvisor and Wanderlog, and states it has been voted a top-rated U.S. ghost tour by USA Today in multiple years.
Sources
The Swashbuckling Spooktacular All-Ages Ghost Walk begins outside Henry's on the Market and covers about 1.5 miles, with the operator describing stops at the city's oldest buildings and graveyards, plus a harbor view of Fort Sumter, tied to "over 300 years' worth of unsettled spirits." The Booze and Boos Tour covers the same general historic-district footprint at night with stops at three bars for drinks and ghost stories, and the Nightmares and Nightcaps Tour opens at a separate haunted bar.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
