Join us for a memorable tour of the ground level of the Old City Jail, which housed some of Charleston’s most infamous criminals, 19th-century pirates, and Civil War prisoners. Located on Magazine Street downtown, the Old City Jail operated from 1802 until 1939, and has recently undergone renovation, leaving the first floor in keeping with its original design (with the welcomed addition of air conditioning). Bulldog Tours, exclusively, guides guests through the cells, hallways and places where Charleston’s earliest criminals lived. Get a glimpse of how the incarcerated were mistreated with primitive forms of torture while living in miserable conditions. Hear stories like the legend of Lavinia Fisher, the jail’s most famous inmate and first female serial killer. Since Bulldog's first tour of this storied place in 2004, guests have returned again and again to make their own discoveries about what has transpired in this historic site. PLEASE NOTE THIS TOUR IS FOR 10 AND UP ONLY.

  • Old City Jail, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    The Haunted Jail Tour takes you through the cells, hallways, and into the places where Charleston’s worst criminals lived and died. Brace yourself as you hear stories like the legend of Lavinia and John Fisher, hotel owners from the 1800s who supposedly poisoned their guests. Featured on such shows as Ghost Adventures, the story goes that Lavinia’s ghost still, very audibly, haunts the premises. This Haunted Jail Tour is quite possibly the scariest place you will ever go!  Open often to the public for arts events, the jail even gives locals an eerie chill down the spine as soon as one steps foot into the space. Visitors go as far to say they’ve seen objects move or even disappear, while others hear voices, the slamming of doors, or chains as they’re allegedly dragged against the floor of the jail.

My husband and I went on this tour at 6pm (in the daylight thank you very much) We enjoyed it quite a bit. We were told that the old jail is going to be renovated & these tours will cease on July 18th. Our tour guide, Andrew, was excellent. He clearly knows a lot about the old jail and told us a lot about the history of the jail. I’m a skeptic & my husband is an absolute non-believer and we both really enjoyed this and are so glad we were able to see the jail prior to any renovations. If you can, go on the tour before they stop!

We did a 10 PM ghost tour with Sarah, and it was amazing! She was so passionate about it, and she gave historical and paranormal tidbits. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about Charleston’s history or the most haunted place in South Carolina!

Sara our tour guide made the experience much more enjoyable and eerie. She is very knowledgeable of the jail and loves what she does. I've done a few haunted tours and can say this is one of my favorites. We will definitely return to do it again!
