I worked in the jail for 2 years doing tours. I only had 1 experience that felt "paranormal"... My last tour ever, standing behind a group I had just led into the dungeon, it was as if someone swept my hair with their hand off of my shoulders. I turned around in circles looking for the culprit, and when no one was there, I turned back to the tour. It happened again! I had been in the dungeon turning lights on alone a bunch, but this was the only thing that I ever experienced.

Hi!

It is always an enigma to everyone. We never know what exactly precipitates such occurrences!

Hello papasmurf1086,

it sounds like you have some intuitive or empathic abilities!

i went there today

it was pretty creepy down in the dungeon, i got a weird feeling that i was being watched and sort of isolated, like you felt, SerenRhapsody!

Hi starfoxhero!...yes, the dungeon feels gloomy and oppressive. It is almost as if the emotions of those who once habited the cells floods over you.

I will be visiting the jail once again in a month or two. This visit will be with the paranormal group I founded-Paranormal Realms Research and Investigations.

It was nice to hear from you!...check out my other videos on YouTube!

How much $ would it take for you to spend a night in this jail .....alone. moohooHOOHAHAHAHA!!!

Neat jail. I am surprized that there were no metal screens between floors. The old Carleton Jail (now a youth hostle) here in Ottawa had to put in screens. Too many guards and inmates back in the day were pushed to their deaths.

I was a tour guide as well off and on during 97-99. I had a lot of instances where either I felt uneasy or I experienced things I couldn't explain. I was locked with a tour in the main cell block once when nobody else could have locked us in because nobody else was downstairs. I had to yell for the owner to open the door because he was upstairs sweeping. Things in the kitchen fell off shelves a few times. The libary door would close by itself all the time even though we would prop it open.

There are no ghost...it's all an illusion of human thought...we must absolve the self completely to come upon reality...search: the dawn of intelligence

I was here on April 24th of 2010 with a paranormal group that I am no longer associated with. What stays with me about this place was if you walk up to the 2nd floor and make a right than walk towards the gallows as soon as I turned I felt a energy fill my head up with fog and made me dizzy and lightheaded. I couldn't reason with this energy and had to call upon my spirit guide and then within bout 2 minutes it was over.. The Dungeon I got brushed up against twice other than that I was fine..
