THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Once home to some of America's most notorious criminals, Alcatraz operated as a federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963. The island's violent history has fueled decades of reports of phantom footsteps, disembodied voices, cell doors slamming on their own, and apparitions seen throughout the prison. Many visitors and employees describe an overwhelming sense that the island's past has never truly left.
