The Ghosts of Charleston's Old City Jail
Built in 1802 and operational until 1939, the Old Charleston Jail housed the city’s most notorious criminals. Among those criminals, John and Lavinia Fisher and members of their gang were kept there until their execution in 1820. Among other famous prisoners, Denmark Vessey, accused of planning a slave revolt in 1822, Jaque Alexander Tardy, pirate, and Civil War POWs.
In 1886 the devastating earthquake that rocked most of Charleston badly damaged the Old Jail. Originally four stories, the building now sits at three stories after the fourth had to be removed due to damage. In 2000, the building was acquired by the American College of Building Arts and used for their primary location until 2016, when they moved to a larger location.
In 2003, the tour company Bulldog Tours, founded by John LaVerne, started daytime and nighttime ghost tours through the building. It has been featured on multiple programs, including: Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, and the Travel Channel. Bulldog Tours has contributed over $1 million to the restoration of the historical building. Many visitors have claimed to have experienced supernatural encounters. Would a tour through the Old City Jail at night be enough to make you a believer?

Old City Jail Ghost Tour - Charleston South Carolina
I went on a Ghost tour while on my little break. Figured you guys would enjoy a small glimpse into it. For a bigger one Ghost Adventures actually filmed an episode here on one of their investigations. Was a 45 minute tour, very fun and informational. Didn't see and spirits, but the group did hear footsteps, banging, doors closing, and some reported whispers. Our guide even mentioned that once, a whole group and himself encountered a spirit lying on the ground. Only to roll over and stare at them. So this place will definitely not disappoint the avid ghost hunters.
If you're even in Charleston find the Bulldog Tours, they have three haunted locations they can bring you through.

SEASON FIVE | EPISODE 3 | THE OLD CITY JAIL
IPRAstrong takes on the Old City Jail in Charleston, South Carolina. David brings his sister Courtney along for the beginning of the investigation. Courtney is used as a trigger object in attempt to get a reaction from the male spirits. They catch several EVPs or Electronice Voice Phenomena and receive some great responses on the Spirit Box aka Ghost Box or Frank's Box.
John then partakes in an energy reenactment. Sean Pike, a tour guide, ties up John and pretends to be an authority figure. John does his best to imitate someone who might be about to receive a horrible punishment. The team receives some good responses on the Ovilus X device.
Courtney and Sean leave for the evening, letting David and John finish the investigation alone. This is when things get wild. David and John decide to do an EVP session of the Guard's Staircase. This staircase was used for the guards and the guards ONLY. They knew this would piss off any angry guard spirits that still roamed the building. They went on to capture amazing audio and even caught a strange orb anomaly. David also witnesses a full bodied apparition.
TRIVIA: During the investigation upstairs in the mental ward, David put away his Ovilus X device in his front jacket pocket. After witnessing an apparition, he walked into the doorway where he saw it to perform an EVP Session. He felt a hand reach into his jacket pocket and the Ovilus X was thrown onto the floor. David decided to remove this scene from the episode because it was filmed at a bad angle and there was no concrete proof that it actually happened.

Inside Charleston Haunted House Where Chairs Move on Their Own
Charleston, South Carolina, is regarded as one of the most historic cities in America, and paranormal activity has gripped the municipality for centuries. Back in 1991, Inside Edition took a tour of the mansions believed to be haunted by the spirits of their former residents. All over the city, locals have reported various sightings of ghosts, spirits and other strange occurrences.
My Haunted trip to Charleston
I took this photo during a Ghost tour my wife and 6 year old daughter took in Charleston, South Carolina. Pretty creepy. It's been described to me as a Pareidolia. I think it's pretty cool. This image has not been altered at all. I took it with my Blackberry. That should explain the poor quality. I enhanced the last image to show a clearer image. Let me know what you think?

During its over 300 year history, Charleston has been no stranger to tragedy, making it a haven for the ghost of the poor souls who died within its limits. Fans of the supernatural will find in Charleston a safe and pedestrian friendly nighttime city with a trove of eerie stories and evidence guaranteed to make even the largest skeptic believe in ghosts!

Historic Old Jail (Cell 17 Handprint, Haunted, Ghost Dungeon)...OMG
The historic Old Jail Museum is a beautiful two-story stone structure. 1995 when it was purchased by Tom McBride and his wife, Betty Lou, of Jim Thorpe, PA. Containing approximately 72 rooms, this magnificent structure shouts to all Be good! The building has 27 cells, plus basement dungeon cells used as solitary confinement until 1980, women's cells on the 2nd floor, and the warden's living quarters across the front of the building. The building is best known as the site of the hanging of seven Irish coal miners known as Molly Maguires in the 1800s. On June 21, 1877, today known as the Day of the Rope.
Cell 17 Famous Handprint Before his hanging one man put his hand on the dirty floor of his cell and then placed it firmly on the wall proclaiming, This handprint will remain as proof of wardens tried to eradicate it by washing it, painting it, and even taking down part of the wall and re-plastering it. The handprint was originally thought to be Alexander Campbell's, but after research, it is now thought to be Thomas Fisher's.
Awesome Place To visit And Tour ! A Special Thank you to Peggy, She's such a wonderful person!
