| Going into this, I thought it might be a hokey tour but when my family and I went, it made me a believer in ghosts. The weather set the stage, it was lighting and raining. We were soaked so we were really happy to go inside. But before we went in, we went to the bathroom downstairs through the outside entrance. I didn't notice anything but my girls kept taking myspace pictures and thejr camera wouldn't work half the time and the battery went low really quickly. We never thought anything about this, then on the tour, we took lots of pictures and the same thing kept happening not only to my family but to everyone else too. As the girls were looking at the pics they noticed orbs in the picture. We have never seen anything like this ever. I was very skeptic about all this but I felt a bad presence in there. I also saw a red orb in one area of the jail. Now I am a believer and I suggest this tour to everyone that doesn't believe. |

| Our family loved this tour. Our kids were scared just enough and each swore they saw one of the ghosts. The tour guide was very knowledgable and informative. AND our tour had a little something extra...our tour was especially enhanced by the major thunder and lightning storm taking place as we toured the jail. It does take place rain or shine as the ad states...my advice...pray for a storm! Also...pay special attention to that "13th" step! Have fun and happy ghost hunting!!! |

| 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. |

| The tour seemed very short and not much of the jail was able to be viewed. The guide was knowledgeable though. |

| 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. |

| The Jail Tour is a fun thing to do with a group of friends as we did. However, the tour guide, although interesting, had very limited knowledge on specific incidences that occurred there, which would have enhanced the tour. I know these stories exist as some are on the website.
Also, the jail had a great deal of construction going on from the school that was doing research there. It kind of kills the mood when you're looking at new scaffolding and materials.
It was good, but definitely could have been better. |

| I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charleston. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the history of the jail and the inmates housed. I have some WONDERFUL pictures of energy orbs that are amazingly clear! I’m anxious to return after the renovation/conservation to see it without all the construction materials! |
