morethanmurderEpisode 34: The Haunted & The Bloody: Alcatraz
Alcatraz is infamous for being, well....Alcatraz. One of the toughest prisons in America that housed the worst of the worst inmates who couldn't be contained at other prisons. With the history, the prison, and the people who used to occupy this island, you can imagine the energy left behind. Not only that, but there are stories of evil energy present even before the prison closed it's doors.
