| I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She told us a lot of history and facts about the jail. The reviews I read said that it is really scary. I wasn't frightened at all, but it take a lot to scare me. I do think, however, that many of the other people on the trip got a bit freaked out. Apparently, some of the tours end up seeing, hearing or smelling something out of the ordinary. Definitely bring your camera!
Also, they ask you to check in 45 minutes early so that you can walk to the site. It actually takes almost that long to walk there, so make sure you are on time. If you are driving, however, the jail is only about 5 minutes from the Bulldog office and there is free parking (unlike everywhere else in Charleston!) |

| It was interesting that of all the people in the group that believed in ghosts my daughter and I were the only ones.
Tour guide less than enthusiastic. Spoke too fast.
Did get some great shots with orbs in them. |

| The tour was GREAT! Suzanne was our guide and she was excellent. She was very knowledgible about the jail and her presentation was absolutely perfect. I would and have recommend this tour to everyone. I will do it again the next time I am in Charleston. I wish, however, that they would offer a day tour in order to better see the facilities. |

| Without a doubt, this was a GREAT tour! Our tour guide has a great way of telling stories about Charleston and the haunted jail. It was great to go inside the jail and see the different rooms and hear the different stories. It definately had a creepy, spine tingling effect. My nephew enjoyed being a "victim" in the Crain of Pain. He said it was eery to stand there where someone in the past had been treated so violently. In a few of the rooms, we got that "someone is watching me" creepy feeling. We were in a small group, so that made the tour even better. We also took the Graveyard tour, but highly recommend this one more. If you have to choose between the two - go with the Haunted Jail! |

| The tour guide arrived on time and was very personable and also professional. She was very knowledgeable on the history of the jail and on the surrounding community. I didn't know that Charleston had such a violent past. This tour was very infomative. I must say though that we were also entertained. My fiance and I really enjoyed the tour and recommend it highly when visiting the Charleston, South Carolina area. |

| The history of the jail was fascinating, and the guide did an excellent job of painting a picture of what life was like for the inhabitants. However, if you're looking for a fright, this wasn't especially scary. The graveyard tour has better ghost stories.
Also, this is not for anyone who can't do stairs. |

| Hello, my wife Lynda and I went to Charleston to celebrate my 55th birthday. we have visited Charleston before and always do something a little different. We both believe in the supernatural and since Charleston is rich in history of all kinds we decided to take in two different ghost tours. While both of them were exemplerary, the Haunted Jail Tour was the best, hands down! Our tour guide, Ginger, is one of only two people who conduct the tour at present, and she did an awesome job of bringing not only the dead to life, but also the history of the place. Any tour is only as good as the tour guide, and she knew the history of the old jail from top to bottom. She brought it to life in such a way as to make you feel that the events she described had just happened recently and almost as if she was there. Some of the frightening events that have happened during the long history of the old jail were told in such a way that, whether you believed in ghosts or not, would certainly send a chill down your spine! She also pointed out many details of the place, little things that, although seemingly insignificant, helped us visualize day-to-day life at the jail. How wretched for the prisoners, and even the guards! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the old jail, and we heartily recommend it to anyone who is fascinated with the supernatural. Even if you don't care much for ghosts, you would enjoy just hearing the history of the place. If you get Ginger as your tour guide, you won't be disappointed! Enjoy your own tour of The Old Jail!
