Places where humans have suffered deep emotional wounds and psychological disorders over extended periods of time tend to be intensely haunted. That is why ghosts and other paranormal phenomena are readily discovered in prisons and jails and serve as prime targets for adventurous ghost hunters. Many of these facilities, established in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are now open as museums or historic sites, affording ghost hunters fantastic opportunities to experience the spirits of those who endured lengthy incarceration, physical torture, unimaginable psychological stress, and death under the most miserable conditions. Jeff Dwyer's America's Haunted prisons and Jails: A Ghost Hunter's Guide will expose many fascinating personal stories of in-mates and guards, and guide you through the arcane history of escape attempts, jail cell suicides, prison riots, and botched executions. This amazing collection of stories will serve as an essential foundation for your investigations of intensely haunted prisons and jails and reveal some startling secrets of deeply troubled spirits who remain in these wretched places.
