The Charleston Haunted Jail Tour

We had hoped it would be a longer tour with more detail. It was over before we new it. WE were hoping to be scared out of our witts. Expectations too high. Perhaps the tickets should not be as much since the access inside is so limited due to the renovations. The gentlemen that was our tour guide was really nice and we enjoyed him.

She provided the mystery that was needed for this tour. I don't think the jail itself was that spectacular, but she did a great job of trying to make it more scary. I didn't see any ghosts, or feel any cold breezes or anything like that. The best part of the whole tour was the history of the place. That in itself is enough to make you shudder. When you think of the horrors that must have gone on in that place. The diseases, the hangings, the whippings, the heat and cold since there were no windows in the place; That is enough to make it interesting. I would rather take the graveyard tour next time. I don't think the jailhouse tour was worth doing twice, but it was interesting enough to be worthwhile.

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT TOUR OF THE OLD JAIL , BUT WAS UNAWARE THAT THEIR WEREN'T ANY BENCHES OR SEATIUNG FOR SOME OF THE TALES AND TALKS WERE LENGHTY. BEING IN ONE SPOT WHILE OTHER GROUPS WERE ALSO IN THE BUILDING CREATED LENGHTHY PERIODS IN ONE SPOT. OTHERWISE THE STORIES AND TALES TOLD ABOUT THE JAIL WERE VERY GOOD.

Loved it just wish i could've seen more of the inside of the jail. Like upstairs or something.

While this is still an interesting tour, Enjoyed it better the first time two years ago. This time we had a very large group and spent a lot of time waiting for the group to move between the few rooms we visited. There was too much time spent in a single room discussing prison life. Last time we visited the upstairs and found some interesting rooms that weren;t viewed nor discussed this time. Camera picked up some orbs same as last time. Origin? Who knows. Tour guide was ok. The stomping of the foot attempting to scare the group was a little hokie. Previous tour was a smaller group with unrulely children. This time had a couple of well behaved boys who appear to enjoy the tour. Overall, still better than graveyard tours.

The tour was interesting, but it definitely wasn't the spookiest place I'd ever been as noted in the description.

This tour was great and the history behind it, fascinating! Would have liked to spend more time in the actual jail and hear more of the interesting stories within it. However, it was "leisurely" we were not "rushed" but, it was only 45 mins and ofcourse you do need to follow the time alloted. Maybe extend tour to 1 hour? Overall, a good choice...soooo good it should be longer!

It was an excellent, but grim living history tour of the old jail. Being in the jail was like a dungeon. The guide was very detailed and knowledgable about its history and stories. He articulated executions, torture, living conditions not fit for animals, no heat, electricity and solitary confinement taking place in a crypts with bars on top. We also saw the inane assylum area. Prisoners rarely lived long in this horrid place and many purposely wanted to get shot attempting to excape because death meant peace. I didn't think it was scary, but it was creepy. I wouldn't want to be the one to lock the place up by myself at night. There was a lot more to the tour, but I don't want to spoil it.

We were 3 couples spending a few days at wild dunes and charleston. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable made the tour so interesting. A creepy and very dark jail, where you could feel how the prisoners must have felt. Before entering we were all asked to turn off our cell phones. During the latter part of the tour someone's phone rang and showed 777-7777. A bit freakish, maybe s spirit was trying to contact someone!! I would definitely recommend this tour, it was interesting, a bit scary , but very informative about era . K. C.

I really enjoyed the Haunted Jail Tour. My Mother has never been on a ghost tour and this was really a good tour to take her on. We were very impressed with the stories and the old jail. My mother told me she had chills and was a little spooked walking through. It had a lot of history for me and I enjoyed it. My mother is ready for another tour with Bulldog Tours. I highly recommend The Haunted Jail Tour.
