"Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts,for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living.
" Arthur C. Clarke 2001:A Space Odyssey
Haunted prisons seem to have become a popular place for ghost
hunting.
Some of these places date back to the early 1800's. The conditions
and punishments were sometimes very cruel and harsh.
It is not surprising with the amount of unhappy prisoners who lived
and died within these walls that some have come back to haunt the
place.
Many are gothic like buildings made of hand cut stone and the prisoners
themselves were used to build them. Some even became self sufficient
with the use of prison labor.
If you do choose to ghost hunt in one of these places,just keep in
mind that Casper the friendly ghost probably doesn't live there.
