Alcatraz prison also known as the ROCK. All day long this old prison is a busy place, filled with tour guides and visitors and ghosts! Alcatraz is most active at night but unfortunately, 99% of the people out there will only see it in the daylight.
Every visitor who comes by boat on Alcatraz follows the very same route that at one time was walked by the felons who came to do time on the Rock. The tourists who visit Alcatraz pass through the warden’s office and the visiting room and sooner or later enter the cell house. After passing the double steel doors, a visitor can see that just past C Block. If they look opposite the visiting room, they will find a metal door that looks as though it was once welded shut. Though the tour guides do not generally acknowledgment it, behind that doorway is the utility corridor where Coy, Cretzer and Hubbard were killed by grenades and bullets in 1946.
It was likewise behind this doorway where a nighttime watchman detected unusual, clanging sounds in 1976. He opened the door and peered down the dark corridor, shining his flashlight on the maze of pipes and conduits. He could see nothing and there were no sounds. When he closed the door, the noises started again. Again, the door was opened up but there was still nothing that could be causing the sounds. The night watchman did not believe in ghosts, so he shut the door again and continued on his way. Some have wondered if the eerie noises may have been the reason why the door was once welded shut? Since that time, this utility corridor has come to be recognized as one of the most haunted spots in the prison.
Alcatraz seems like a cool place to visit and I may go there one day just to see if I see Al Capone or a different famous gangster who once lived here.
