Samantha Brown: If you are going to be scared to death in the South, you have got to visit the haunted city Charleston South Carolina. It is Friday night and what is more ghastly than ghosts. John LaVerne of Bulldog Tours leads the most frightening ghost horror in all of Charleston—the old city jail.
Built in 1801, it held some of Charleston’s most notorious criminals.
John LaVerne: This is really the original condition of where the inmates live. The rooms that we’re going to go into, original cells.
This is where some torture was believed to happen. This is actually a replica of the original frame of pane that was found in here. Ropes hold their hands up, tight off into the wall, stretch them out as hard as they possibly could.
Samantha Brown: So this is the fist—machine.
Sorry about that. I just had to break the mood.
John LaVerne: Now follow me this way, we’re going to go into the cells where they really pardon criminal state.
The most famous criminal ever kept here at the old city jail was the young lady named Lavinia Fisher; a beautiful young girl from Charleston. Her and her husband were convicted of murdering a lot of guests in the hotel. Her final request to be in her wedding dress. She walks up the gall of steps, reaches up, grabs the rope, twist it around her own neck. She yells on to the crowd, if any of you have a message for the devil, give it tome an I’ll deliver it to him personally. That point she jumps off the block, a rope catches her neck. People still today claim to see the ghost.
Samantha Brown: Are those fingers dragging?
John LaVerne: I’ve not seeing it.
Samantha Brown: Those are hands.
