The Story
The old prison's corridors are associated with apparitions and noises without a visible source. HauntedPlaces.org reports these experiences among visitors and paranormal investigators, while Missouri tourism presents the institution's ghost tours as a way to hear accounts of former inmates said to linger in the decommissioned cellblocks. Historical explanations and identities are folklore unless independently sourced.
