| My husband and I have lived here for about a year. While his parents were here visiting last weekend, they wanted to go on a ghost walk. We hadn't ever been either so we went. In short, it was a huge waste of time and money! The guide was obnixious. It seemed like she made up over half of what she was saying on the spot and that she just liked to hear herself talk. We only went to four places in the whole hour and a half. A ridiculous waste of $100. |

Very middle of the road tour.

| The guide was nice, and informative, but we only visited 3 places, and the only one of any real interest was the dungeon. We have taken several ghost tours in other cities and this one would be at the bottom of the list. |

| This tour has alot of potential. It could use more stories and more points to tour. The tour guide that we had was very audible and articulate. We felt that for the money we paid, however, we had more walking and less talking. |

| Very informative tour and I would recommend this to my friends who visit Charleston in the future. I plan to go on the Jail Tour next time I'm in town. Our guide was very informative and told many stories, as well as the historical facts of the buildings. |

| I definitely enjoyed it but of course was hoping to actually see some ghosts. It might be more fun if it was more interactive and people jumped out at you but that is just me I like having the crap scared out of me |

| I thought the tour wsa very informative concerning the history of Charleston. The dungeon was pretty cool. This is not a scary tour. It is more about hauntings that are said to be in some of the downtown buildings. |

Okay, but nothing great

| Charleston is considered by many to be a very haunted city. As such, and for all the hype that Bulldog puts out, you'd expect to see something scary (other than the menu prices at the local restaurants). If you are a serious ghost hunter, or even half-way interested in a ghostly encounter, save your money. If you want a little exercise and to hear about some of Charleston's history, albeit in a paranormal vein, then go ahead and spend the money. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local legends, but we never really got to go into any of the "haunted" places except the dungeon. And that was only for about 10 minutes. Okay, so it's a little spooky down there with the lights off. But there's no real talk about apparitions, orbs, mists, or EVP's (if you are unfamiliar with any of those terms, please watch one episode of Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi), nor is there any attempt to get anything to manifest. Okay, I've already said it so I'll remind myself here for all of our sakes: this is not a ghost hunt! So, the old advise is the best advise: know what you want before you go. If you want to meet a ghost (or at least have a good chance of seeing something ghostly) contact a paranormal research team. If you are in Charleston for vacation and want to get a different version of local history, take the tour. Forewarned is forearmed. |
