Haunted Prisons

"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.
