Ep. 29 Old Charleston Jail and the Barbie & Ken Killers

This week Sandra talks about the Old Charleston Jail located in Charleston, SC. One of the most well-known haunted jails in South Carolina, the Old Charleston Jail dates back to 1640. It was in operation from 1802 to 1939. Its most famous inmates include Lavinia and James Fisher. In 2000 it was acquired by the American College of Building Arts and used as its campus and headquarters. Today it is open to tours and has been featured on Ghost Hunters, the Travel Channel, and Ghost Adventures. Ever since 2000 people have reported strange occurrences happening from things disappearing to seeing apparitions of former prison guards. Later, Danielle discusses the Barbie and Ken Killers aka Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Their nickname comes from their blonde hair and blue eyes. Canadian serial killers Karla Homolka and her husband, Paul Bernardo, drugged, raped, and murdered three teens, including her younger sister. Initially, Karla was thought of as the unwilling victim who was overpowered by her abusive husband, but this later was proved false. Tapes were found where both Paul and Karla were recorded participating in the torture and rapes of their victims.  Sandra's Sources: https://www.viator.com/tours/Charleston/Haunted-Jail-Walking-Tour-in-Charleston/d4384-23272P3?m=28353&supag=68732031537&supsc=dsa-647350163696&supai=350968425111&supap=&supdv=c&supnt=nt:g&suplp=9001996&supli=&supti=dsa-647350163696&tsem=true&supci=dsa-647350163696&supap1=&supap2=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnJaKBhDgARIsAHmvz6dwtPwMizxd097YlKprPBE4CLOn0UouEH8nXYoNF-qhV0dQkNGIjlEaAoS_EALw_wcB https://www.bulldogtours.com/tours/charleston-haunted-jail-tour/3 https://ghostcitytours.com/charleston/haunted-places/charleston-jail/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Charleston_Jail https://discoversouthcarolina.com/articles/tour-charlestons-most-haunted-building-the-old-city-jail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavinia_Fisher Tour Websites: https://www.bulldogtours.com/tours/charleston-haunted-jail-tour/3 https://www.charlestoncvb.com/plan-your-trip/tours-attractions~204/walking-tours~1160/charleston-haunted-jail-tour~9972.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw4qCKBhAVEiwAkTYsPDswVFbiTPyOw8OUlLGb0hBpgmdpH98h8KCXksKvKNzNymWDf0-VcxoCNagQAvD_BwE Danielle's Source: https://allthatsinteresting.com/paul-bernardo-karla-homolka-ken-and-barbie-killers
