The smell of pumpkin spice in the air signals the start of Halloween, a well-anticipated celebration observed in several countries, dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs, and the faithful departed.
Each country has its own set of Halloween traditions practiced yearly, and here in the states, trick-or-treating, parties, and costumes are the essentials from mid-October until the 31st. But, while others are getting dolled up for fancy costumes and sensational parties, some prefer the more adventurous route--ghost hunting and tours!
Feed the horror enthusiast in you and try these ghost and haunted house tours around Lowcountry and surrounding areas--but heed with caution, as these scary trippings are NOT for the faint of heart.
