The Story
In a firsthand visit published by Homespun Haints, the writer describes whispers and footsteps in an empty stairwell during a guided investigation. The caretakers added stories of missing sharp objects, hands felt on shoulders and pictures falling or flying from walls. Their accounts give the old jail a reputation extending beyond the cells themselves.
