Prisons & Execution Sites

Former prisons, jails, gallows, and execution grounds associated with reports of apparitions, auditory phenomena, and unexplained activity tied to past incarceration and capital punishment.


Introduction


Prisons were designed to contain bodies.

Execution sites were designed to end lives.

Both were built with intention. Both were built with permanence in mind.

These locations witnessed isolation in its most complete form. Lives reduced to confinement. Identities reduced to records. Endings carried out with procedural certainty.

Many former prisons now stand empty, their original purpose removed but their structure unchanged.

Visitors describe footsteps behind them in empty cellblocks. Doors that no longer function moving without cause. The sense of being observed where no one should remain.

These stories do not always suggest suffering.

But they always suggest presence.
