History & Paranormal Activity

Built in 1802, this jail held some of America's most notorious criminals including Lavinia Fisher — considered America's first female serial killer — and housed enslaved people, pirates, and Civil War prisoners. Investigators document some of the most intense paranormal activity in the Southeast here, including full apparitions, aggressive entity encounters, and equipment that fails repeatedly.
