Mention you found them in Traveler


By George OlneyCharleston bids fair to be the most

haunted city in the United States.That’s a highly believable claim whenstanding in a graveyard in the black ofnight listening to tour guide DavidHinson give eloquent justice to themacabre stories of a dying little girl’sblack dog or two best friends and astillborn baby. That’s when you realizethat “openly transparent” may be agood term for whoever – or whatever –is standing next to you.

Bulldog Tours of Charleston willhappily roam back 300 spooky years orso with you on a dark Charleston nightwith a variety of tours that will testyour nerve. Bulldog offers tours of the

city’s oldest church graveyards, the city dungeon of the 1700s and a buildingstraight out of a Gothic horror tale – the old city jail. If you don’t manage tomeet up with any of the “regular” residents during your tour, the well-trainedand knowledgeable guide will still let you know all the eerie details of how cer-tain spirits came to be uneasy and very permanent residents of the spot whereyou might be standing.

If unquiet spirits in the dark of night aren’t quite your thing, Bulldog Toursalso offers a stroll through Charleston’s steamy history, the 30 or 40 bordellosthat made it that way and the assorted less-than-upright shenanigans of theupright citizens of the time. That walking tour is most definitely R-rated.

Contacting Bulldog Tours, located at 40 Market St., for tour reservations ishighly recommended. Charleston closely regulates the tour business, and toursize is sternly limited to no more than 20 people. To reach the ticket desk, call(843) 722-TOUR (8687). Reservations also can be made through a hotelconcierge or online at www.bulldogtours.com. Tours leave every night, but aprospective ghost hunter should call ahead because tours and times vary.

Bulldog Tours owner John LaVerne is justifiably proud of his company andloves telling people about the unusual history of his city. As he says, “I can’tthink of anything better than walking the streets for money.”

He means as a tour guide.12 | TRAVELER OF CHARLESTON | October/November/December 2010 | www.travelerofcharleston.com

About Charleston - Charleston is the

oldest city in South Carolina. In 1690, it was

the fifth largest city in North America and

remained among the 10 largest cities in the

United States through the 1840 census.



Summerville, only a 20-minute drive from downtown Charleston, is wherecharm and Southern hospitality blend gracefully with a modern and progressiveoutlook. Summerville’s lovingly preserved downtown, lush public parks, friendlytown square and historic homes and gardens reflect its reputation as theFlowertown in the Pines. Summerville’s downtown features quaint shops, restaurants and art galleries; it’s a great place to spend the day.

Cool breezes whispering through pine forests brought Summerville its first vis-itors in the late 1700s, when Lowcountry residents found refuge in the town’slofty location from the summer’s subtropical heat and mosquito-borne diseases.

In 1888, the tall pines brought good fortune when the International Congressof Physicians in Paris declared that Summerville was one of the healthiest placesin the world for victims of lung disease, citing the beneficial “pine-scented mildclimate.”

The town also was known as a refuge from the hard winters of the north,drawing tourists as well as patients recovering from lung disease.Grand inns and many smaller guest houses were built, attract-ing the rich and famous. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt andWilliam Howard Taft were guests at one of the mostfamous inns, The Pine Forest, and celebrities from allfields, including music, the theater and the literaryarts, enjoyed Summerville during an era know as TheGolden Age.

Since the 1890s, day tourists have visited Summerville for the local floral fairsand to enjoy millions of spring blossoms, particularly azaleas, in private and pub-lic gardens, including the mid-town Azalea Park. In April of each year, hundrds ofthousands of visitors assemble there to view the blooming azaleas and camelliasand enjoy the annual Flowertown Festival. In May, crowds come to Azalea Parkfor “Sculpture in the South,” an annual exhibit and sale where nationally knownartists display their work, creating an outdoor sculpture gallery.
