Great living history tour!

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.

Good thing to do with the family! Good to see that some of the money goes into restoring a historical building!

It was fun, but I wish we were able to see all the rooms in the jail. It felt very incomplete.

I recommend the haunted jail tour. It's a nice change of pace and something you will only see through Bulldog tours. The history is interesting and our tour guide did a great job. We could tell that she does her research and knows what she's talking about. It might be too scary for young children but I recommend for teens and up. I also enjoyed taking pictures and trying to get some "orbs" in them.

Good tour...seemed too short. And it would have been beetter, but unfortunately we didn't spot any ghosts that night. I would have also liked to hear more stories about the people that were there.
