The
old Charleston district jail on Magazine Street downtown is a
National Historic site and is considered among the most haunted
buildings in America. Built in 1802 as an Italian-Gothic
fortress, it housed pirates, Civil War soldiers, and a notorious
list of murderers and villains. It is now open for public tours.
