The Horror of Alcatraz

About this episode

This episode explores the haunting stories associated with Alcatraz and its dark history.

America’s turbulent past has left behind countless locations said to be haunted by those who lost their lives there. From the victims of catastrophic disasters and fatal accidents, to soldiers and civilians killed in times of war, and those who fell prey to notorious murderers, the country’s history is steeped in tragedy. Yet it is often the places where such killers were ultimately confined that have given rise to some of the most disturbing accounts of all. Amongst them is the story we will be examining in this episode; The Alcatraz Horror.
