Loved the Tour

We loved our tour - our guide was knowledgeable and we had a spooky experience! I got great photos of orbs, which I intend to email over to the tour group. We'd take another one of the Bulldog Ghost Tours anytime we're in Charleston.

Great Experience

I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was very enthusiastic and informative and the jail itself was unbelievably creepy. My only complaint is that a lot of the areas were under construction and filled with modern-day items (poland springs water cooler, ladders, paint cans, etc), which took away from the historic feel of the jail. I would also suggest some additional lighting -- my tour was at 9pm so it was dark. The first room that we entered had a dim red light which made it easier to see. The rest of the rooms were completely dark which was scary, but it would have been scarier with some additional light that allowed us to see more what was around.

Very Interesting Tour

This tour was very interesting. Great stories about the history of the jail and the people associated with it. The tour guide did a great job of answering questions and framing the each part of the jail with a story. Would highly recommend this tour.

The tour was cramped, hot as all get out, and lacking in the ghost department. Our tour consisted of mainly history on the jail and not ghost stories. The stories were very long winded and not very scary at all. I would not recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys their ghosts.

Great tour of the jail just a little less of the inside of the jail then I thought there would be. Glen did a great job with the tour.

The tour guide was a good story teller and really got us into the whole "spirit" thing. However, I think the tour was too short.

Spooky, but could be better

The jail itself was very spooky and provided a very interesting experience, both historically and paranormally. The tour guide left something to be desired. She was very informative but her presentation was a little too nonchalant, almost as if she were tired of doing the tour. At the time we went the jail was under renovation so there was a lot of construction equipment lying around that took away from the atmosphere, but I suppose getting to see the jail with the equipment in it is better than it being completely closed for renovation. Overall, we would recommend this tour to others.

Totally Awesome!! The best tour ever!!

I had high expectations and this tour EXCEEDED those. We all know that a lot of this comes down to the tour guide, and Suzanne did a fantastic job. The jail is incredibly interesting. Lots of history and lots of spook. A young woman on our tour had a bite mark on both arms when she left the jail. That did it for me. I highly highly highly recommend this tour. I think it was the best tour I've EVER been on, and I've traveled across the world.

My family is was on vacation in Pawleys Island. We were having a family reunion and we went to Charleston for the day. My husband, sister, cousin and I decided to try our very first ghost tour. In short, WE LOVED IT! Our tour guide was absolutely excellent. He was very entertaining and knowledgable. We got some interesting orbs in our pictures as well! This tour is HIGHLY recommended!
