The Story
Amy's Crypt recounts childlike spirits and a voice-mimicking presence in the former children's ward. Visitors reportedly see shadows dart through corridors or hear steps inside prison blocks. The chapel and connecting tunnels carry their own apparition stories. These reports attach to the actual former complex, which advertises authorized exploration and investigations.
