Debunking/ Alternative possibilities to paranormal:

-There is lots of tricky shadow play in the jail itself which can lead you to believe someone is walking while you are walking by the cells.

-On the weekends especially, lots of people walk around outside the building creating noise and can even sound like it’s inside the Jailer’s House.

-There are holes in the walls of the cellblocks that allow light to come in through to the other side.

Summary and Opinion:

All in all, these properties were amazing. We had a great time investigating the Jailer’s House, as well the jail itself. We lucked out with the perfect weather to investigate that night with clear skies mid 70’s. A couple of teams did have strange experiences and some controversial evidence was caught on audio. So at this point, we cannot say without a doubt this place is haunted. We had some experiences that led us to believe there is a possibility of something still hanging around the jail, but we would really need to come back and investigate again to try and figure out exactly what we are dealing with. Again, it was a incredible place with extensive history. We were honored to have the opportunity to investigate such a interesting (and creepy!) place. We would love the opportunity to come back!
