Ghosts of Lake Murray Tour
Don't be afraid of the water.
Be afraid of what is UNDER the water
This Wasn't Always A Lake.
Lake Murray's story started in 1927, when 2,000 men busted their tails to build the largest earthen dam in the world at the time. But the real history started hundreds of years before that.
The men who built that dam gave it everything. Some gave their lives to create what would become Lake Murray.
And they're only part of the story.
Under this lake are Revolutionary War soldiers. Civil War soldiers. Families who refused to sell their land and stayed with it — forever. Loved ones left behind in cemeteries that were never moved. And American heroes — Doolittle Raiders — who gave their lives training over this water for WWII.
This isn't just stories and legends. Some say spirits still walk the line between the depths of Lake Murray and the beyond.
On the Lake Murray Ghost Tour, your USCG-licensed Captain and Lake Murray Historian takes you to the actual spots where it happened — historic locations, sites of tragedy, reported hauntings, plus a hike to a cemetery on an island you can only get to by boat. Yes, people still report seeing folks walking that island. People who've been there for centuries.
Private 2ish hour ghost tour starts at dusk. Bring all the beverages you need to feel safe... Respectful, real, and just spooky enough.
Don't be afraid to book — but maybe bring a buddy.
