Our Tour Guides and Staff

Masterful tour guide. Been touring the historic haunted streets of Charleston for almost 20 years now. Native Charlestonian which translates into “Yes, he knows an astronomical amount of entertaining ghost stories”.

Anna is more than a loud, fun, happy go lucky cat lover.  She’s one of the best ghost tour guides to grace the hallowed streets of Charleston.

APRIL is more than the month after March or the month before May or the month associated with lots rain.  April is a wonderful PERSON and a seasoned veteran of our customer service team.  She’s also afraid of elephants so if any elephants are thinking of taking one of our tours, please give us a heads up.

Barbara is a docent in one of Charleston’s most haunted mansions by day, and a Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Tour Guide by night.  When not giving tours, Barbara is busy with her WWF Memorabilia store on E-Bay.

Tour Guide Extraordinaire.  Law Student.  Ladies Man.  And to his father’s dismay, Brad often spends more time with the ladies than with the law.

How such a hospitable hunk (and 9th Generation Charlestonian) found giving tours a calling will always remain a mystery at Bulldog Tours.  Don’t let the pretty face fool you though, Braxton had a group of middle schoolers so scared on the Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Tour that they ran out of the cemetary all the way to the bus four blocks away.  Refunding 20 kids for “scaring them too much” . . . . . . priceless. Well, actually, it was $160 but well worth it.

Scary as hell, yes.  Part of our tours, unfortunately no.

Brittany is more than just a friendly voice when you call to make a reservation or ask us what time our 7pm ghost tour starts.  She happens to be Bulldog Tours’ most fashionable employee which involves true dedication, shopping stamina, possibly a sugar daddy, and a keen eye for the latest trend in haute couture.

Brooke is not only an amazing tour guide but also Charleston’s best dressed cowgirl.  She is a native of Texas which explains the love of country/western music and line dancing, neither of which are included in her amazing Ghost & Dungeon Tour.  In her spare time she can be found volunteering at the Edmonston-Alston House, shopping on King Street, or touring with the Charleston Culinary Tours.

Catherine’s entire life has led up to her being the Manager/Leader/COO/Master of Bulldog Tours.  Born in Charleston’s St. Francis hospital, raised in the streets of our historic district and Mount Pleasant, Cotillion Honor Student, Charleston Debutante, Bishop England grad, College of Charleston alum, and a Certified Small Engine Mechanic.

She is our mentor, our savior, our guiding light.  Catherine is truly. . . .the wind beneath our wings.

Cathy has been walking the streets for money for almost 15 years – strictly as a tour guide.  Not only can Cathy name over 100 different flowers in Charleston, she can tell a ghost story that will make the most cynical ghost “non believers” question the supernatural.  Her favorite tour is the Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Walking Tour which has been featured in/on The Travel Channel, CMT, USA Today, Southern Living, and the Northwestern South Dakota Farmer’s Gazette

Catoe. . . . . is like no other.  While his aristocratic pedigree dates back to Pre-Revolutionary Charleston, he is anything but refined.  A phenomenal veteran tour guide that will amaze, educate, shock, and mystify those who take his DARK SIDE OF CHARLESTON TOUR!!

Clara is a native of Athens, GA, making her an instant Bulldog (Univ. of GA).  Arrived in Charleston 20+ years ago, did the “corporate thang”, and has now found her calling as a ghost tour guide.  Clara is a master of the Ghost & Dungeon, Graveyard, and the occasional history tour.  Don’t let her innocent Southern drawl fool you, she’s a closeted wild woman.

David is a native Charlestonian, school teacher, father, husband, handyman, tour guide of 13 years, and one of Charleston’s most sought after Blues Drummers.  David has played with the likes of BB King, Muddy Waters, and Delbert McClinton.  Truly, one of the best story tellers to ever grace the streets and alleyways of Charleston’s Haunted/Historic district.

DIANE.  Where to start….tour guide, concierge, ex-restaurateur, expert cook, prior President of Charleston Tour Guide Assoc., and director of our Culinary Tours and Charleston Strolls divisions.  Almost forgot, she loves rock-n-roll and she’s a really bad dancer.

Eddie left the Empire State in search of warmer weather, prettier women, great food, and eternal bliss.  These goals were met within minutes of his arrival in Charleston and he hasn’t looked back since.  Much more than The Bulldog Concierge, he is one of Charleston’s premier unofficial ambassadors and an expert in making sure visitors make the most out of their vacation.

Eric is a longtime native of SC, speaks fluent Charleston, loves history, and is an excellent storyteller.  He is usually found on our Haunted Jail Tour or Ghost & Graveyard, but as our resident pirate expert, he’s our go-to-guy at the annual Blackbeard (Edward Teach) family reunion.  When Eric is not entertaining at Bulldog Tours, you’ll find him out on the streets doing his own gig, Charleston Pirate Tours.

A native of Upstate South Carolina, Franny currently resides on Isle of Palms where she continues her search for sea shells, a better way of life, and surfer dudes.  She is a graduate of The University of Georgia and a master storyteller.  Her hobbies include tennis, world travel, double martinis, and church socials.  Giving tours at Charleston Ghost & Dungeon is merely a way for Franny to explore her evil side.

George W is currently not a tour guide for Charleston’s premier walking tour company.  Yale’s mascot is a Bulldog so we’re pretty sure it’s just a matter of time.

Ginger is a native of the Palmetto State, mother of two, wife of a lunatic (sorry Dennis), animal lover, carriage driver, and an excellent tour guide.  She is rather versatile in that she gives the Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Tour, Ghost & Graveyard Tour, Haunted Jail, as well as Charleston history tours.  Ginger’s guilty pleasure. . . . . collecting truck stop paraphernalia.  As proof of her Southern roots, Ginger’s first car was an IROC Camaro.

Sure, I’m the legendary tour guide, “Glenn”.  Sure, I give one of the best Haunted Jail Tours in the history of Charleston..  But honestly. . . . . sometimes . . . . I just want to give it all up and become a handsome billionaire.

Grason, the man, the myth, the self proclaimed legend.  He is so adored by all that meet him, Grason hasn’t bought a drink in 4 years, and is considered to be the Charleston version of Tucker Max.

“Hoon” is not only the quintessential “Southern Gentleman”, he is also one of the most dynamic ghost tour guides in town.  A native of the Deep South, Hoon is a world traveler, avid historian, computer wizard, financial genius, and also somewhat of a fashion icon in Charleston.  Sister Sledge describes him best, “He wears the finest clothes, the best designers, heaven knows, ooh, from his head down to his toes.  Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci.  He looks like a still.  That man is dressed to kill.”  $5 off your tour if you can tell us what song that lyric is from!

Future (2025) Tour Guide.  Will take Charleston by storm as soon as he gets potty trained.  Hobbies include fits of anger, middle of the night feedings, Baby Einstein toys, and entertaining his fan club (Mom, Dad, Papa, Nan, Nanu, & Hattie).

Janice used to scare people by carrying a Smith & Wesson 357 (former cop).  Thankfully for Bulldog Tours, she traded in her Peace Keeper for a license to give ghost tours and now just scares people with her stories. I pitty da fool that ever crosses this woman.

Southern by way of Southern California and one of our most requested guides, especially by super models.  Not only is Jim a slave to fashion, he gives carriage tours for  Palmetto Carriage in the daytime – at night, he is one of Bulldog Tours’ most entertaining story tellers.  Jim is multitalented and can be found doing the Charleston Stroll, Charleston Ghost & Dungeon Tour, Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Tour, or the Dark Side of Charleston Walking Tour.  His next project. . . . . . cold fusion.

Looks are deceiving.  While this picture depicts Jim as a seriel killer, in person, he looks much kinder, much gentler.  His tours however, spot on scary and fun.  One of the most dedicated tour guides we’ve ever had.  Claims he loves his wife dearly yet he’s always willing to get out of the house.  We’ll just assume he enjoys sharing ghostly tales over the Honey Do List.

Tour Guide.  Thrill Seeker.  Winner of the 2nd Grade Spelling Bee.

Charleston’s most eligible 16 year old bachelor.  John Ray stays busy charming the local surfer chicks with his guitar playin and hip fashion sense.  He is often forced to go “incognito” to avoid the paparazzi.  That’s the price a kid pays when being stalked by Paris Hilton. Not a tour guide yet but he will eventually dominate the streets of Charleston.  He currently chills at the office and keeps our computer’s video games up to date.

Karen often makes even the most skeptical believe in ghosts.  She’s a die-hard believer and her passion for ghost stories and legends is obvious.  Gave up her career slinging goods in our City Market.  Good Bye merchant life, hello Charleston’s hidden haunted history!!

Larry is a native of Ridgeville, a sleepy hollow about 25 miles from Chucktown. Raised by a Gullah speaking nanny that told tales of voodoo and the supernatural. After years of therapy and countless bottles of local moonshine, Larry is now able to forward these stories to those that dare listen.  As we all know, ghost stories can often cause children to have nightmares and even wet their beds.  For the record, therapy can cure bed wetting.

One of Charleston’s most fascinating tour guides and definitely an asset to Bulldog Tours.  His tales of voodoo and Charleston’s scariest ghost stories often leave the guests wanting an escort back to their hotel room.  When not scaring folks, Lawrence is usually romancing the ladies with style and fervor like no other.

We know very little about Louis other than his phone number and that he gives one hell of a Ghost & Dungeon Tour.  Pretty sure he’s in the Witness Protection Program.

Meredith is a native Charlestonian and a vital member to our customer service team.  Should you call Bulldog Tours and the voice on the other end is pure Southern innocence, you’re probably talking to Meredith.  Her secret agenda to working here is to keep a watchful eye on her parents, Cathy and David, both trouble making tour guides at Bulldog.

John LaVerne’s nephew.  Paul looks innocent but trust me, he is bad to the bone.  Legend is, he once ate ice cream for breakfast then in a “sugar rage”, crashed all his Hot Wheels into his Lego Fort.  Blackbeard, meet your match.

Sarah loves pina coladas and getting in caught in the rain just like a lot of Charleston ladies.  Other interests are comic books, puttin’ out a positive vibe to the Bulldog crew, and making sure our visitors make the most out of their Charleston vacation.

Sarah E is the most kind, thoughtful, nurturing, empathetic person you’ll ever meet.  Not sure why she hangs out with all the hooligans at Bulldog Tours but we’re sure glad she’s here.  Nice to have a ray of sunshine on occasion.

Stephen grew up in Maryland where he was taught he lived in the South.  He heard the siren call of the True South and moved in 1998, realizing he’d been lied to his entire life.  He’s been doing tours ever since.  Stephen does ghost tours, carriage tours, house & garden tours, architecture tours, civil war tours, colonial tours and pirate tours.  When not giving tours, Stephen likes to sleep.

Stevie is Bulldog Tours’ Director of Security which is the equivalent of having a golden retriever as a watch dog.  Stevie is also the manager for Bishop England High School’s basketball team and a Special Olympics gold medal winner (tennis, swimming, and basketball).  Stevie is a local celebrity and currently has 143,693 best friends.  Once you meet Stevie, we’ll add you to the list.

Stu is a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his mystery.  He was led to give ghost tours due to several dramatic encounters with Charleston’s paranormal world.  Check out his Ghost & Graveyard tour for more details.

Susan hails from Long Island but has immersed herself into the charm, excitment, and chaos of Charleston’s historic district. . . . . . she’s a tour guide for both the carriage tours and ghost tours.  She is a huge fan of this town’s darker side (ghosts, goblins, spirits, Twinkies, etc.) which makes her a wonderful fit as a tour guide at Bulldog Tours.  While Susan specializes in the Charleston Ghost & Graveyard Walking Tour, she can also be found at the Dungeon or the Haunted Jail Tour.

Susan D’s original calling was to be a school teacher.  After “lots and lots” of teaching she moved to Charleston to find herself still teaching kids but has added a new clientele (adults) and a new platform, Charleston’s Haunted Historic District.  Other interests include Beanie Babies, cold fusion, cross-stich, quantum physics, acid rock, and cooking shows.  UPDATE – one of the most requested guides for the Charleston Culinary Tours.

Suzie always knew she wanted more out of life than hair gel, sunless tanner, fake nails, and bad fashion; which is why she escaped New Jersey and became one of those “Damn Yankees” that we all adore (they keep our taxes low and amuse us at cocktail parties).  Occasionally throws in a few “y’alls” for good measure.  Expert in all things Charleston.

Tad is a 6th generation Charlestonian that has given ghost tours since his college days (all 7 years).  In his spare time, Tad managed to become a self-made dot-com millionaire, revolutionize Charleston’s “Digital Corridor”, and for nine years in a row, make Charleston’s Most Eligible Bachelor’s List.  Now married, Tad gives ghost tours as an excuse to get out of the house and to “reconnect with the people”.  And by “people” we mean “pretty girls.”

Theresa is an accomplished athlete, Charleston native, marketing expert and mind reader. . . .Oh really? . . . yeah, I thought that too. . . Ok, I will prove it.  Pretty soon . . . you’re gonna click on a link on the top of this page.  And in the near future, you too will experience what it’s like to take a tour with Charleston’s best tour company.

Will is old school South Carolina and an internationally acclaimed journalist.  His works have been featured in The Washington Post, Charlotte Observer, & Philadelphia Inquirer. He is a regular columnist for the Charleston City Paper but more importantly, he’s a tour guide at Charleston’s best tour company.
