The Charleston Haunted Jail Tour

The tour guide was great with interesting stories, but the place itself did not feel haunted and we did not experience anything unusual. The orbits mentioned by the tour guide were a little over done; the pictures with orbits are 99% of the time always referred to as a dust residue not a GHOST APPEARANCE. If I were the tour guide I would not tell the tourists that those are the ghosts...they are not! We have watched plenty of GHOST HUNTING programs and in most of them they only proved 1 orbit was actually something more than dust.

My only complant is that we went on a night time tour and it was interrupted a great deal by a student that was griding away and weilding. You would think it would be possible to schedule student time around tour times or vice versa. Other than that we had a great time!!

This tour was great. Our guide was very informative and energetic and definitely kept our attention.

Crazy jail ghost tour that left us begging for more... Shannon Delray Beach

I did this tour because I had fun on the dungeon tour the night before. I was disappointed in the jail tour because of the amount of noise the art students were making in the basement. The sounds of hammers and a table saw were very distracting. Also our guide wasn't very good. She was only interested in telling her stories but not really interested in talking with the people on the tour. I felt like she just wanted to do her job and have us leave. If I can find a tour time that the art students won't be present and a better tour guide I will try this tour again.

I would recommend this tour for most people who enjoy a good ghost story. We had an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about giving the tours. We loved the various stories she told us as we walked around the outside and inside of the jail. There was definitely a presence to the place as you walk around. This tour was the highlight of the day, and I would most certainly take it again!

Our guide was very versed on a tremendous amount of history of Charleston. The ghost stories were astonishing and quite believable. The walk thru the cemetary was really amazing as one of the guest actually saw a large white ghost bent over one of the graves as we approached the cemetary.

I paid for eleven (11) people to tour the old jail cell. I was as well as many in my group very disappointed in the price paid per person for the amount of visual experience - it was only a few rooms and they were under excavation taking away from any "haunted" feeling...the tour guide was wonderful and provoking...we just felt that it was way too expensive per person for this tour and would not recommend it to friends if the price wasn't cut by a third or more. I paid $168 plus a $15 tip ...and really felt my money would have been spent better on some other site seeing tour.

We had a great time, but I would recommend to attend the later tour. We went to the 7pm tour, so there was still some daylight out. The darkness would of made it a lot scarier. Other than that, the tour and tour guide was great.

Our tour guide, Suzanne, was terrific. The tour was a lot of fun. The building itself has a creepy feel, and an interesting history.
