The Charleston Haunted Jail Tour

The tour was quite short and for such a large building we didn't get to see that many rooms. Of course we were given a good story about a room that was locked. One of the rooms was a workroom. I will say I was initially put off because our tour guide basically made fun of where I live. He asked me where I was from and when I told him Myrtle Beach, his response was "i'm sorry". I thought that was very rude, unprofessional and I didn't find the joke in it. He also asked me if I was good at "putt putt" because apparently everyone who lives in Myrtle Beach "all they do is play putt putt".

This was really a "history tour", our guide was very knowledgeable but she focused on past events and telling what activities took place in each room rather than "ghost stories", and she was turning the lights on everywhere, so there was really nothing scary about the tour, most people in the tour seemed pretty disappointed.

Tour guide was excellent. The only thing to change is for an old jail, need to put things like 5 gallon water bottles, large cans of Planter's peanuts and renovation details out of sight. It would make it more period oriented and less of things that were not available at that time.

This was a historical tour not a haunted tour.

Our tour guide Braxton was GREAT! We really enjoyed this tour.

Enjoyed our guide he was very informative. Any one who enjoys history, and some spooky stories would very much enjoy this tour.

The tour of the old city haunted jail was excellent. We heard stories about several ghosts who haunt the jail and learned about the disturbing lifestyle and punishment of the inmates. It was very intriguing and I would take this tour again!

Glen was a great tour guide, tailoring the tour to what we wanted to hear about. Our group was very shy, so my girlfriend and I spoke up. As locals, we wanted more of a focus on the history, and that's what we got! The tour finishes in a student workshop on the bottom floor, which kind of killed the mood with the fluorescent lights. Overlook that and it was awesome! Glen made the tour though, so I hope you're lucky enough to get him as a guide.

Our tour guide, I don't remember his name, was very cordial, enthusiastic, and informative. He took great care in answering our questions. He was perfect in the alotted time of the tour. My compliments.

Our tour guide, Glen, was very informative and kept us all listening and eventually breaking down the 'shyness' of our group. We started to ask more questions because he was very easy to talk to. I just wish we toured more of the jail. We went to about 2-3 rooms and this included the art school downstairs. In the background the students were doing renovations and this really took away from the tour. I understand, being an alumni art student, that all time is crucial but we also took time (and money) to explore this area. There really weren't any artifacts/photos to look at of how the jail use to look or of any inmates. That would have been interesting and put us more in touch with what the inmates endured. All in all though, Glen did a good job of telling us how it was when the jail was open. The best part of the tour were the real ghost stories that Glen and other tour guides have experienced.
