| We had a great time, the jail was pretty creepy and Susan was our guide. She was enthusiastic and did a great job. I got one picture with an orb, very weird, and several people heard footsteps, doors closing and what sounded like people talking. One room I went in seemed to be 20 degrees cooler than the rest of the place. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again. |

| If you are looking for a haunted house, go somewhere else. However, if you are looking for a history lesson that is a little on the creepy side, you won't find anything better. It was great walking through a building that is so old and with so much history. It is almost like stepping back in time.
As far as the ghost go, I have no idea. I did not take my camera but several people did. There were rumors of ghostly figures showing up on film from past tours. If I go again I'm bringing my camera. Ghost or not, you can't go wrong. |

| Our tour guide (and I'm sorry but I don't remember his name) was amazing. He should be very proud of the history that he has learned in his very young years. Although we didn't see or hear any ghosts - the tour was very interesting and we would highly recommend it to everyone. What a great piece of history we learned and look forward to more tours the next time we visit Charleston. |

| My daughters (17 & 19) and I did this tour and we loved it. The guide was great and created quite a "spooky" atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an eerie experience. Word of advice - there was a young girl around 10 or 12 and her mother had to take her out because she was too scared. Maybe a little too scary for younger kids. |

| I LOVED the Haunted Jail tour! The stories were spooky and really interesting. It was really cool to see the origional walls, window bars, patty wagon and even how the cell blocks left the marks on one of the origional floors.
Keep up the good work! |

| I toured the jail a few years ago. It was fun and exciting and our guide allowed us to walk around to other rooms and spend extra time. This trip the guide was good with story telling but the jail walls had been scrapped of all of its historic markings and the tour itself was quick....she took us into two rooms told us a couple of stories and then sent us on our way. I had brought my husband who had never been on the jail tour and I told him how exciting it was on my previous visit and it was a let down this time. Still had a great time in Charleston though! |

| We came as a family group of eight with teenaged children. I would not recommend younger children for this particular tour. The Jailhouse tour was good, but needs more light at passageway transitions inside the jail. It's OK to tell folks to watch out for tripping hazards, but if you can't recognize them in the low-light, what good is it. Remember, older eyes need more light to distinguish objects in low-light than younger eyes. As for our prior to tour check-in, this was a surprise. We booked the 9:00 PM tour on Zerve approximately three weeks ahead of our arrival to Charelston. When we checked in, there was a problem and the Bulldog folks put our group with a 9:30 PM tour time. All things worked out for the tour that evening, however, if folks would put a section on the booking tour form to ask if the phone number listed is where you will be staying while visiting Charelston (or a cell phone number you are carrying) our evening would have not been changed on the fly so to speak. They contacted our home city phone number given on the form, and guess what, we were in Charelston the day of the tour when they called to inform us of the mixup. |

| The tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgable. She provided just the right amount of scare factor to give you chills and to allow your mind picture the horrific events within the jail walls. One of the best tours I've gone on during many historic districts visits throughout the southeast. |
