it was very interesting learning the history about the jail. we went on the 7pm tour because we didn't want to get home too late but I wish we would have took the 9pm tour when it was dark outside. I was looking for a tour that was going to be scary/creepy and had it been dark I think this tour would have been better for me.
I do recommend it and next time in Charleston I will take the Dungeon tour (at night). |

The whole experience was wild and fun. Went with my daughter in law and we had a
fun time. If you do the night ones, make sure the people with cameras listen to your guide and don't take pictures in the real dark rooms. Really messes up the effect of what the guide is wanting you to experience. We had a great guide. Recommend this highly. Want to do the rest of the tours. Thanks for the fun night. |

We went to the 9:00 pm show. It was VERY scary. If you are someone that LOVES getting scared, than I would recommend this tour. If not, I would suggest you take a different one. The tour wasn't very long and incorporated a good amount of history about the jail. Definitely took a picture of a ghost on the tour, so it was fruitful in that sense. Would recommend. |

I would recommend going to the 9:00 or 9:30 tour. It was very interesting and I would go on the tour again the next time we are in Charleston! |

I will say that our tour was a lot of fun. Our guide was enthusiastic about the jail and really put a great deal into her presentation. I had lived in Charleston for a bit and knew of the jail before it was purchased and renovations started to take place, so it was fun to go inside the jail itself.
Our guide, I believe her name was Susan, was just one hell of a good time. She was very interesting and I loved the fact she personlized the stories for us. She interacted with the entire group and made the tour a great deal of fun.
I would recommend this tour with the understanding you probably won't get frightened, but all in all it is interesting to hear the history and fun to experience the jail. |

For a tour with the word "haunted " in its title, it sure did not live up to expectations. The tour was interesting but was more about a history lesson then anything "haunted." Yes, the tour guide did say stuff is always seen or heard but that is pretty much the extent of the "haunted." I have also been on the Ghost Walk Tour and found that much more entertaining anf really enjoyed the various ghost stories. Perhaps, a few more stories and a little less history would work better. |

We toured the haunted jailhouse with Suzane as our guide. My 10 year old daughter was with us, and she has shown an interest recently in things of this nature. The guide told the stories and would either jump at us, stomp her foot, or raise her voice at appropriate times ... and she got several reactions from the crowd.
We took pictures in the jail but didn't think anything was going to come of them. I was flipping through the pictures afterwards, but I didn't pick up on anything in the rest of the pictures initially. One struck me, but I thought maybe I had dust on the camera or something. When I got home and downloaded the pictures, I saw several "orbs" in the picture in one room of the jailhouse! A friend that went with me also took pictures in the jailhouse. His pictures didn't have the orbs like mine did, but he did catch one big orb in one of his pictures. After seeing that, we were wondering if this was for real, but if it wasn't, the other pictures would have had this same dust on them too. However, they did not.
Also, the guide said that people have reported having trouble with their cameras working while inside the jail. I did have a little bit of trouble during the tour. Some times I had to press really hard to get the camera to take the picture, whereas in other areas of the jailhouse I barely had to touch it and it snapped the shot. The next day when I went to use the camera, it gave me an error message. The lens wouldn't come out at all. This could be a common error with the Canon cameras, or it could be a result from the ghost tour ...
