| Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable about the Old Jail, and definitely had a flair for story telling! There were definitely some odd things going on - we didn't capture them on camera but others in the tour group did... so be ready to experience weirdness... |

| All my life Ive been what I guess you would call "sensitive". I feel, hear, and see things that I guess most other people do not sense. I dont know if its nature or nurture, but I have an unusual "gift". I went on this tour of the Old Jail in Charleston, and of course it gives you the chills just looking at it; it is so intimidating from the outside. Once you hear the stories that the tour guides tell you (she was great by the wayy!!!) It only makes it more creepy. Anyways, we made it to the second floor with nothing out of the ordinary occuring. But as soon as we walked up those old iron stairs, a heavy feeling fell over me ; it was almost like a forboding presence. While the group was on one side of the hallway, I decided to walk to the other end and take some pictures while I was alone with no interference. I snapped a shot of the end of the hallway while I was walking, and looked down to see what I had caught. Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a figure in one of the jail cells to my right. I looked up, and the person did not disappear. It was a short man in some weird overall type of clothing with a short button down shirt on. He was just standing there, looking at me with no real expression. I wasnt alarmed at first; it looked just like a real person. He then took a step out of the doorway to his right, and it started to dawn on me in that instant that I HAD been alone at this end. I quickly looked into the room, but no one was there. Im not gonna lie, I freaked out. I didnt even take a picture, I just got out of that room and got back to my family. I was really shaken for the rest of the night. Whoever was in that doorway that I saw, he was not in the room just seconds later. I told the tour guide, and she said that people rarely see full figures, but it is not a unique occurrence. I definately recommend this tour to anyone that wants to see or experience something that is real; maybe youll be as fortunate (or unfortunate) to see what I saw. |

| The Haunted Jail tour of Charleston, SC was a great time! My Fiance' and I love doing ghost tours and this one is one of the best that we have been on. We picked up some pretty good EVP's on our recorder while inside the jail. DO THIS TOUR!!! |

| Even though I work in the downtown Charleston area, it was great being able to purchase these tour tickets online and not have to run around to get to the ticket office. |

| I belong to a group pf professional people in St Petersburg, FL that does paranormal investigation as a hobby. My friend and myself came to Charleston with the purpose of taking some of the ghost tours. We successfully took two and was rained out for the 3rd one. Both of the tour guides were very knowledgeable and explained about ghosts in a way ordinary people could understand.
We had a lot of fun on both tours, got some interesting pictures and would highly recommend the tours to other people. I am also a travel agent so your tours would be hightly recommended by me. |

| 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. |
