Do Ghost Prisoners Still Occupy the Cells of Salem New York Jailhouse?
Nobody wants to go to jail but what if the jailhouse was haunted and you were free to leave after a few hours? On Saturday October 30th, Haunted Nights will return to the Old Washington County Jail and Historic Salem Courthouse in Salem, New York for another paranormal investigation.
The Old Washington County Jail and the Historic Salem Courthouse were both in use as recently as the 1990's but according to novaspis.com, the courthouse and jail has held a lot of spirit ‘activity’ in the prison cells where numerous prisoners committed suicide, as well as the basement where the showers were located.
