This was my first ghost tour ever and I was definitely not disappointed! The guide was very personable and made the stories come alive! Such an interesting part of history! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the Charleston area! Make sure you go at night and are wearing comfortable clothing because it is HOT HOT in the jail!

Enjoyed the tour very much very informative. Only negative is wish we had a longer time to explore the jail to take pictures. 45 minutes just didn't seem like enough time. Enjoyed the experience overall thought and would do it again.

Historic Paranormal Cocktail

Our tour guide Glen was very enthusiastic and provided copious amounts of historic accounts of the events that took place in the jail. I would definitely take this tour again, especially the 10 o'clock since I did the 7 o'clock. As a historic preservation student it's great to see the effort being put forth to preserve such a gem. I recommend this to anyone visiting or even living in/near Charleston!

My friend and I took the haunted jail tour. We were early for our group and they were able to get us in a earlier tour which we really appreciated. The tour was a mixture of families, friends, and couples. It was a smaller group. The tour guide was very good. He was a great storyteller. I would recommend anyone who enjoys history and has an open mind to take this tour!

Our guide was a knowledgeable, compelling speaker, and very respectful of the jail's history. We'd love to do another tour soon!

This tour is guide-dependent

The concept is great, and we booked based on recommendation from local friends. But it seems this tour is all about the guide. Ours was too fast-spoken to understand, and emphasized her standing as a medium over her knowledge of local history, which is really the point afterall, isn't it? We were good sports, but were let down after all the great things we heard about these ghost tours.

Tour seemed to go by fast. Also didnt get to tour the "dark room". Me n kids were disappointed. But jail history was interesting. We didnt come across anything scary.

tour was ok, nothing special

The tour of the haunted jail was ok, nothing special. I went with my husband while on our honeymoon in Hilton Head SC. The jail is quite small, and we only for to see 3the or 4the rooms since the location doubles as a school for "building restorations. Students are fixing up the jail so there were projects everywhere, and many rooms blocked off. The tour guid was nice, i wish there were more "scary" stories to go along with the tour. I am a person afraid of my own shawdow, and 88 did not find the tour spooky in the least. Overall, the tour was ok, an interesting way to fill a hole in your evening. (The horse and buggy tours were much more fun and informative!)

First ghost tour I've been on that actually takes you inside a location!! To top it off, something breathed in my ear! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone I know who goes to Charleston.
