Haunted Places: Prison

  • Museum

    Alcatraz Island

    Alcatraz held more than 1,500 federal prisoners between 1934 and 1963, and its ghost stories single out Cell 14-D, said to run almost 20 degrees colder than the rest of its block.

  • Prison

    Old Joliet Prison

    Joliet's 1858 prison held Leopold and Loeb, the 1920s 'crime of the century' murderers, and John Wayne Gacy. When a guest's 2018 photo seemed to show a woman in white floating in the yard, tour guide Larry Arroyo thought of the warden's wife found murdered in her prison apartment in 1915.
