The haunted OLD CITY JAIL in Charleston, SC After living in Charleston for the past 29 years, I finally made my way to tour the haunted, OLD CITY JAIL.  Before the tour, I was really excited to finally see for myself what I had been hearing about for all these years.  The jail and it's characteristics have been featured many times on television.  After the tour....well....let's just say, I felt a little "unsettled".  The structure itself is very impressive.....the history of events that occured inside the building left a lasting impression with me.  After all, it was a JAIL.....built around 1802 and was a functional jail until 1939.  High seas pirates as well as Confederate and Federal prisioners of war were tenants of the jail.  Thousands died in the jail.  What was I expecting ?  It s...
