A foreboding, grim, and haunting presence
The Old Charleston City Jail - From its original construction in 1802 to 1939, the building located at 21 Magazine Street was utilized as a jail and insane asylum. With the exterior stucco now falling off and exposing the brickwork beneath, this medieval, gothic-like style building projects a foreboding, grim, and haunting presence. As if that was not enough, since its closing in 1939 , it has a history of strange, mysterious, and unexplained occurrences that continue to this day. It's considered to be one of the most haunted buildings in the US.

Old Charleston City Jail - They say it's... "Haunted"
Haunted?... Well, I for one am certainly haunted by the memories of the many men, women, and children of whom endured this place as their home during its one hundred thirty-seven years of operation as a jail and insane asylum. Since the closing of the jail in 1939, there has been more than just a few strange occurrences of the mysterious and unexplained happenings within the walls of this old building. There is no doubt an ominous, dark, and dreary presence in and around Charleston's Old City Jail.

The sad thing it has recently been sold to a business and they plan to convert into an office building. The upside of that is, Charleston is very protective of it historical places and they will not be allowed to change the exterior. It's most famous prisoner was Lavinia Fisher, America's 1st serial killer.

I went there a few weeks ago. Creepy is an understatement.
