Summary

This is a Graves Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

Charleston’s Old City Jail stands as a reminder of a darker chapter in the city’s history—one marked by violence, confinement, and harsh conditions that spanned more than a century.

Operating from 1802 to 1939, the jail housed a wide range of prisoners, from criminals to Civil War captives, each leaving behind a piece of the building’s legacy. Today, that history is often tied to reports of ongoing paranormal activity within its walls.

Andrew Kuhn, Tour Guide Manager of the Old City Jail, takes us inside both the history and the experiences reported there. From specific figures tied to the jail’s past to the activity encountered by visitors and staff, the accounts range from subtle disturbances to moments that are difficult to explain.

It’s a look at a historic location where the past may still be present—and where the stories continue long after the doors have closed.

0:09.6

You've spent a lot of time at Old City Jail, I'm going to guess.

0:16.0

Do you think her spirit is still there at the jail?

0:20.2

I do. I have been there for 10 years or so now of giving tours at the jail.

0:27.6

And yes, there are differing beliefs of when it comes to the jail about what might be haunting the building or who's in there.

0:36.6

But I 100% believe she's

0:39.2

there. We have had too much happen. We had not long around the time that I was starting. First

0:48.2

of all, I'll preface that I believe that kids see things that we cannot, right? So like, especially

0:53.4

the younger they are. And there was a

0:56.2

girl with her mom and the girl was, I don't know, maybe four or five, six years old. But she went

1:03.9

into the building and the room that we believe that Levinia was held in, part of the floor had like collapsed. So like

1:13.0

there was a, there was literally a like a railing that we had to put in to prevent people from

falling into this hole. This woman came in with her daughter and they're standing there

1:35.3

and out loud as we're telling the story the girl says mommy there's a woman in the corner

1:41.3

and she's looking where there's the hole like there's no one that can possibly physically be standing there because there's a woman in the corner and she's looking where there's the hole. Like there's no one that can possibly physically be standing there because there's a hole in the

1:47.8

ground.

1:49.0

And the girl just kept getting like started to get very, very much more uncomfortable.

1:53.7

And she goes, mommy, that woman's still in the corner and she's not very nice.
