The Charleston Haunted Jail Tour

This was our first time coming to Charleston and we really enjoyed it. My boyfriend and I are extremely into the paranormal and this was a wonderful experience. We boy really enjoyed the tour and tour guide. She was great and easy to talk to. She gave us a lot of interesting information on the tour and it was great getting to know new things. We had a great time and will be doing it again soon!

Well, I previously paid for this tour prior to going to Charleston. I was eager to go on this tour with my boyfriend....it was one of the main reasons for going to Charleston. We found the rainbow market easily but no luck finding the jail house. We were given a map and was told to call if there was any problems. We were lost and no one could help us back. It was dissapointing after walking around for an hour with bulldog tours telling us "go this way, no go that way".... Needless to say, we missed the tour and lost our money's with...

We had so much fun! It was really interesting and informative on the history of the jail. The only thing I wish had been different was that it was less people. It was hard to take pictures with so many people on the tour. It was really neat, and my husband even says that maybe there are ghosts after all (he is the biggest sceptic EVER). We got to take as many pictures as we want, and we are planning on going to the graveyard tour next. We also were all impressed with the woman leading the tour. She was nice and very knowledgeable. We had fun.

Tour was great.

Suzanne was wonderful! Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour very interesting. Definitely would recommend. My chest did get a heavy feeling and I did feel some rods of heat pierce my shoulder a few times.

interesting tour, tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgable

Our guide was very enthusiatic and really made you feel what it was like to be in jail of that time. She was very detailed about what happen and what it might have look and that their could spirits in the jail.

the tour guide built the tour up to something that it wasnt

Our guide was great. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and dramatic! She really made the tour of the old city jail fun and a little scary and mysterious too!

My husband and I enjoyed the tour with the exception that we were not allowed to go to every area of the Jail. It was advertised as a no bars tour, but the area that was supposed to be the most haunted (opinion based), the basement, was off limits. The basement is said to be the area where the mentally insane were chained to the floor and kept in cement box like containers. It was the most looked forward to area of the Jail we wanted to see, yet we were not allowed in the area. That was a bit of a disappointment. Our tour guide however (I believe her name was Suzanne) was very good. She added great emphasis to the stories she was telling in the right areas to spook us. Not to mention, she closed the gate, locked the outer door, and cut the lights off on us to give us the full feel of being trapped in the jail. That experience gave me chills up and down my spine.
