Been there, felt nothing but out of breath after walking up the “12 degree” hill. It felt like 90 degrees.

why would anyone spend the night there?!?!?!

I agree why spend the night? Who the hell figured spent the night and figured this out?

Meh you can’t spend the night there it’s a hazard the place should not even be allowed to send tours through. I mean hell when I was there in the 4th grade half the island was closed to the public because of saftey hazards.

As to ghost in Alcatraz I’m sure there could be a lot better stories one could come up with for this besides shaking cells.

This is actually very true. I know that it is because my brother spent the night there about 10 years ago. He is a contractor, and was hired to restore some buildings that are not open to the public. He worked there for quite a while, and one evening the groundskeeper asked if he would like to stay overnight. He stayed in what was supposedly Al Capones cell. He was very scared to stay there, but was also very curious. Once he decided to settle in, and try to get some sleep it took many hours until he began to finally doze off, when he was awoken by some sort of a banging noise.It began far away, and got closer and closer. He said it was as if a security guard was walking along, banging his club on the bars.The noise got closer and closer until it stopped right infront of the cell he was in and then he heard several Very Loud bangs on the bars of the cell and then it all just stopped. Needless to say he never was able to fall asleep that night. He lie awake the whole night and was out of there on the first ferry the next morning.

katies story sounds real but then again thats why its a scary story. right? well it did freak me out just reading.

i dont know why anybody believes in all this nonsense. c’mon i went in the 4th grade to and yeah it was closed in all cause of the stories that ”happened over there”. if i were supposed to grade tis thing shoot it would be an f-

oh yeah n sorry 2 all them peoples that left all these f*ckin stupid comments. but if you think about it a comment is your opinion in the situation.

thats dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why dont you go and have a looksy kidz

Hi my name is Becca and I believe in all these stories I’v seen a ghost

First off, why would anyone want to repair buildings that are off limits anyway, and second, you are not allowed to stay the night at alcatraz…it’s all just a bunch of B.S.

why are you here if it’s bullshit then?

ok, so ya, i have a great uncle who was in alkatrz, he went there for sucking blood out of chickens, so he killed a whole buncha people and they put in there, and he was never seen again!!!!!!! he went into his cell and killed the guard and somehow got sucked into the twilightzone that was underneath alkatraz…ok so i made that last part up, but the first half is true….bumbumbum……

Hey well ived been in alcatraz at 1st i was not scared by then i realized i was acomponied …..it was not my mom it was a fresh cold breeze of air…following me everywhere.

Why in the hell would anyone wanted sleep there anyway?I know i wouldn’t.That’s stupid.I been there before and it is kind of spooky,but don’t fear any ghosts there.

you guys need to stop cusing i am a cristian and a kid but you adults should not be cusing on a website open to kids i am a kid and i,i have to tell you to stop cusing what a shame for you and the public

I was an Oakland Ca cop from 1989-2000. I got to know a bunch of guys from San Francisco and the coast guard. Long story short, a guy knew a guy who worked as a ranger at the rock. Once a month, he would let about six-eight people stay past closing time. It cost 75 bucks. No break for me being a cop. He had food (b-b-q) and you brought your own booze. We slept in the cells, doors open, all in the same block, D-block, the one that leads to the door of the courtyard. We were able to sit out at night (cold, and this was September) and drink beer and just b.s. in yhr courtyard. No women, all men. Ranger didn’t want any women saying they were raped or something. I slept pretty soundly that night and didn’t hear a thing (probably all the beer and such). Two other guys said they couldn’t sleep a wink, they kept hearing noises all night. It is and OLD building, there a bound to be noises but I don’t think there are any ghosts…

well. this is funny . im from shishmarroff alaska and these stories aint **** .compared to my closet and the weirdest thing that happen in there. check it out becca….

I actualy have been there before and slept the night there, i went into a cell quietly when no1 wus looking and stayed there over night, i heard cells banging but nothing more than that, i wus alitle scared kus it could just be how the place is so old and stuff but idk. i wus probly say it is haunted kus its so old and all the thins that happend there.

Laurel you spelled christian wrong

Hi,
I have my own Alcatraz story.
I went there a few years ago with a Nephew of mine.
We have no interest in or even like the subject of Ghosts,Aliens etc
Find it kinda boring to be honest.
Anyhooos,,we went wandering in and around the solitary confinment cells,
Sampling the darkness with the door somewhat closed I snapped off some pics in the darkness.
Later when we were looking over the pictures we were very suprised to find a man or we thought a fellow tourist standing in the cell with me.
I did not feel or see anyone at the time there with me so I must admit I was a bit taken back by the whole thing,but time past and I not being a ghost person just forgot the whole incident.
My nephew sent it in for some kind of checking over by a photography lab and they were very intrigued.
I have a copy of the pic when people want to see it and I know its on a ghost hunters website at the moment (nephews idea)and very convincing they say.
So who knows,,I felt nothing,seen nothing,heard nothing but am at least once a year asked to tell my Alcatraz ghost story.

Sounds really cool. I would totally LOVE to visit sometime. This kind of thing is a hobby of mine. Even though I have never seen anything before. It would still be really neat to go do soon.

we never know what is gonig on over at that jail cells. Besides what if it is really haunted but we don’t know that…yet

NIGGAAA STOP HATIN ON THESE SCARY STORIES …MAYBE YO *** NEEDS A SCARE

It happends to those who believe…..those who seek will find!!!

That is one of the least imaginative stories I’ve heard. People use that excuse to make up a story all the time just to make it seem like they’ve seen and or heard a ghost. That’s just so stupid says my friend a I totally agree.

I agree with Erin. In the old Wyoming jail we went for a school trip and people kept telling that same story, everyone uses it, it’s like way overused. When we moved to a new house my little brother kept saying that same thing. It’s getting dull peoples.

one time about twenty years ago i slept the night at alcatraz.i set up a video camera on a tripod and left it recording all night. at about midnight i heard the banging on the cells near me and it got closer and closer. soon enough it stopped at my cell. i was so scared i nearly passed out and when i came to i yelled whos there! i got up and walked to the bars and could see no one in the shadowy darkness. turning around i lit my lighter and looked to the other side of the cell and standing in the corner was an inmate staring right at me coming closer. he appeard to be a white man with his hair slicked back and he said what are you in for son? i could not reply i was to fightened…then he dissappered. when i reviewed the tape he was there the whole time walking around my cell.. i totally just made that up and scared my self while doing it hahaha

I took my kids there and we are pretty perceptive as far as the ’supernatural’. However, the shower room was the only place we felt ‘uncomfortable’ and no where else.

my dad has slept overnight in a jail its famous u like pay to stay the night they lock them in my dad took a photo of my uncle 2pictures seconds apart in the 2nd one there is a white smoke and noone was smoking the 1st photo is clear as day.

Albuquerque,New Mexico Rules you all should go there some time

All I have to say is….you people who claim to have spent the night at Alcatraz are lying unless you are a security gaurd that works there or something. You CANNOT pay to spend the night there. I have lived in Northern California all of my life and know you cannot do this. I even, just to be sure…wrote to Alcatraz Island. Here is their reply…

There is security that patrols the island every night – and they’ve never seen or heard anything all that odd. Many of us have spent many nights on the island – I’ve stayed in the hospital/psych ward, in the hole (D block) in the regular cells and in the basement (”dungeon”). But so far – no spooks.

Check it out for yourself if you seek the truth.

Just some info for you all. Park Service employees are not allowed to comment on paranormal activities in National Parks.

But some of the stories that come out on different websites are funny to say the least. The story of the inmate who supposedly was driven to suicide because of a monster in Cell D-14 , never happened. No inmate died in the solitary cells of D-Block.

Al Capone was not haunted by the ghosts of those he had killed. Al Capone was insane from syphillis and thought he was an Italian opera singer too.

Alot of the sounds contributed to ghosts must be also contributed to the cell house being old and its normal for the place to creak and groan at night and during the day as well.

BTW , I work there and have spent the night out there many times. Not to say things DONT happen, but some of the stories are just that….stories.

Well, I didn’t really want them to comment on any paranormal activity….I just wanted to know about people claiming to have spent the night there. Not the best answer but you can clearly see there are gaurds there patroling at night.

I myself have been there several times and have never experienced anything strange whatsoever. I am usually pretty sensative to these things. In my opinion there is nothing there. But remember that is just because I have never felt anything there, just my opinion.

I have to tell you guys something. I visited Alcatraz about 3 years ago. I walked around the jailhouse, in and out of different cells, and I kept hearing this one voice. It kept droaning on about what, I don’t know. I remember being pretty shooken up. I had to sit down, take off my self-guided tour headphones, and get some water. To this day, I have not figured out who, or what, was speaking to me…

That all that happened? is there more?

Dudes, I believe in this story’s because I’ve heard a ghost on my stairs. One night I was awake and I heard footsteps, I look but did’nt seen anything and I have no neighbours so it was a ghost for sure

Truthseeker.

I don’t care what letter you got from who, but if you are stupid enough to believe you cant PAY to spend the night (or anywhere) there then you’ve spent way to much time living in Northern California. I apologize for being so blunt, but I did pay and I did stay there…

Dear yo MAMA,
you need to live your own life and if you wanna say something say it nicely and tell your own stories about yo mama. And if you wanna talk **** you can just come to me cause I’m standin your but up.

I have never been to Alcatraz but I saw a show on it and the guy on it stayed in the hole, D-12 he had brought in a camera it said it had 48 more mins on it and then it just went died. PS Listen to laurel, watch your mouths

I do believe the Alcatraz stories are true but who died their for it to have ghosts. People do say that a house has a ghost because someone died their. How died in the Alcatraz.

That is a lie that he stayed in the hole D12. Nobody can stay their that is just makebelieve. I only believe the stories of the people that took pictures and saw a guard right next to them

Come on get on line go to http://www.the dumb.com and talk to me.

OK, in my house died people, at least 5 people but I did’n believe in ghosts, exapt that one time.

Nate this is a website of alcatraz not about your house ok. I don’t think its true that 5 people died in your house. Also how old are you learn how to spell even though this is not about the Alcatraz stuff.

Sorry I’m Belgian, my English grammar is not the same as yours and I’m 27 years old

honestly?

yo.sup,

that is true…. spooooooky

There’s maybe 3 people who make an ounce of sense on this comments page. Yes, people died on Alcatraz. There were murders (it was a prison!), there were inmate beatings by the guards as well… you CAN spend the night there. There are also people commenting on here that have clearly never spent any time in San Francisco. You want to know what the cold and whistling noises are? Alcatraz is an island in the San Francisco Bay, in the midst of fog and ocean air! As for hauntings, I’ve been there a few times, but only been there during the daytime, with a crowd. so I’ve not had any haunting experiences there, but it’s just as possible there as any other large building that housed a number of violent people, eh?

well can u people jzt be honest for ones ans stop writring bullshit cause some people is real talkin n here

i think everyones is entitled to there own opinon ,i am open minded ,have an interest in ghost although i need to see for myself to believe ,don’t think all this arguing and name calling is necessary on this site ,for those that believe, more power to you , for those that don’t, the same, i think the only way to prove or disprove actual paranormal happenings is to spend a considerable amount of time in the suppossed haunted area ,whether it is a prison a house ,hospital or whatever the case maybe,if one was to gain permission to spend a certain amount of time in a paticular place they should document and record any occurences of interest and present this as evidence ,

I reserved a trip to San Fransisco and I’m gonna check this Alcatraz stuff out.. but it is a prison.. how do you get in that place for one full night ?

They offer overnight visits. You have to pay, of course. You can sleep in the place if you’d like, in a real jail cell. Half of you nitwits have probably never even been to Alcatraz. Hell, you can’t even spell it, though the name is right in front of your face! Just goes to show you – American flag-waving yahoo’s are getting more and more STUPID!! And, by the way, yes – the place is quite haunted. I’ve been there several times and can vouch for that.

hoob star is a freakin retard!!!

this may be loads of **** so 1 day im gonna try it!!!

marie has problems and talk about alkatraz

Can’t any of you people write a complete sentence? You all sound retarded, not for believing in ghosts, bur for being so illiterate.

how do you spell something wrong while telling someone they spelled something wrong?

dumbass

WELL I HAVE NEVER BEEN THER BUT IT SOUNDS SCARY

i’ve never met you but you sound stupid.

cockbite

suck it blue!!!!!

in yo face

Using science and math, Efthimiou explains why it is ghosts can’t walk among us while also gliding through walls, like Patrick Swayze in the movie “Ghost.” That violates Newton’s law of action and reaction. If ghosts walk, their feet apply force to the floor, but if they go through walls they are without substance, the professor says. :taken from a news peace i saw.:…….cockbites.

ya, its very spooky, once there was this guy he entered this place and you wont belive what happened he took a **** and his **** was the shape of his ****! OMG so freeky huh! GHOST STORIES SUCK!

i been there, i took a **** on the stairs (to leave a mess) and a ghost whiped my ***, he told his name was slimshady!

u should see my site, it has ghost stories! i’ll give you guys one ok? once there was this ugly whore who haunts the house…WAIT A MINUTE! HOLLY **** THATS MY HOUSE-KEEPER!

you know when i went there… i saw this ghost lady walk down the stairs as she was lookin at me, then she fell over the railing and broke her a$$, so the zombies took her to the “Fake *** Hospital” and then she got an a$$ treatment from a vampire, and then after wards her mom (mr.Dracule) gave her head!

i’m charming arent I! so cicks noe, I’m a dude… you know… there is hope! i could tell you some more mochizzle ghost stories…. so who thinks I’m hot??

who wants some more stories of mine??

who knows bloody marry? (not the drink) yeah well when i chanted her name she gave me a ********

We wne to Alcatraz June of 05′ and all I can say is IF it is not haunted, there IS something weird going on. Our tour was the last one (at night). We specifically purchased 2 disposable digital cameras so we could feel free to take individual, random pictures as we went along.
Well, soon after we got there, and took that incrediable steep climb, my husbands and my moods changed. We felt…irritated?? I guess.. at each other. Mad really..and for no reason.
I bring this up because that anger made us seperate for the self guided tour.
Well, seperately we took random pictures (careful to avoid contact b’cause, again, we were mad).
Neither of us felt anything scarey or haunting really at the time. It was erie maybe, but not particularly scarey.
At the end, as we boarded the boat back, we started talking about how interesting it was (no longer angry).

When I got home, I immediately took my camera to get it developed. My husband still had his.
My film turned up nothing “ghostly”. BUT, one of my pictures had a photograph of ME, taken from OUTSIDE the bars of a cell. I am standing in a cell with a look as if something caught me off guard or something.
You can clearly see the bars in front of me too!
I did not ask anyone to take my picture.

Odd, weird to say the least. I did not look at the negatives, I literally thought to myself “ok no big deal, I’ll freak if his photos are weird.

So a week or so later I got hold of his camera and, you guessed it. On his camera it had a picture of him…but in it his back is turned and he is walking AWAY from the camera!

So NOW were freaking out and we grab our negatives….

Those photos are NOT on the negatives. that photo is black.

Other than that, all the pictures are fine and our experience, amusing.

We want to go back!

Thanks for listening.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been to Alcatraz many times. I’ve never heard, felt or seen anything out of the ordinary. Sorry.

well becca maybe you should sleep with me and I will show you something scary and you can s*ck on it too !!

well i have been there and i didn’t see or hear any ghost at all. but i believe in ghost at alcatraz and i know one thing they can’t hurt you.

but i am really interested in all of your disscussions.

call me old fashion or email me at zebchapman@hotmail.com. i will want to know more about alcatraz and what you all think of it.

believe it because i just saw a pitcher with a ghost on it from alcatraz cellhouse. Welcome to hellcatraz. I’m insane and crazy.

this is a highly abused website listen to laurel and Tuck no bad mouth

I went to Alcatrz.Boy was it scary when i slept there.We saw ghosts in our pics we took.

Norma – I was really intrigued by your story. I just booked a night tour and will be going there in mid-March.

Does anyone have advice on the best places to take pictures, find paranormal activity etc? I am a believer and would love to come across something. I am not sure as to how much latitude I will have being on the night tour, but I would love to capture something on camera, even just an orb…. You get the point

Any help would be great…..

alcatraz rocks ive been there once before when i was 14 and you do hear some weird things in that place i admit there is deffinattly som sort of super natrual thing going on in there

glenn you can find any type of place to take pictures its usually somewhere you fell very uncomftable like an old room thats in your house or were some one has mysteriously died you just have to look

sounds scary but I don’t like jail cells.

Hey Glenn, i’ll be there in March too! My friends and I were invited to sleep in the whaley house last month with a friend who is a member of the san diego historical society and although I honestly can’t say i saw anything or heard anything, i definitely felt creeped out. Needless to say, alcatraz sparked my interest! i booked the night tour as well on the 17th of march! i like to keep an open mind, people who can’t consider alternative possibilities of the afterlife…i feel sorry for ya, have fun in your tiny little box, er, cell.

I am not sure that I would be able to spend the night somewhere like that. Not that anything would happen, but I would probably run for my life at the slightest noise….

I am excited about the night tour. From posts that I have read around the web, it looks like the D block is the place with the most supposed activity. I am going to snap a bunch of pictures, hopefully something pops up, but we’ll see.

I am interested in seeing how many people are going to be on the night tour, I am sure that it can’t be anything like the day tour… As far as I am concerned, the less people the better, I think it would add something to have less people around.

whoever said ghosts cant hurt you….your sevearly wrong. Ive been ghost hunting for a few years and ive been slashed across the back and suffered a psychic attack.

Ok..

..Who in the crappin’ **** would EVER voluntarily sleep in a place like THAT?!?

Umm.. Why is c-r-a-p censored it’s not that bad of a word.

Kairri – Explain your story further….

this is just interesting reading all you guys give each other ****. you’s are all weird!

why would you there in the middle of the night by yourself?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this story is stupid! but if u have an awesome gghost story to tell me email me at alyssag527@comcast.net please!

Laurel u a dumb ***

Alcatraz is one place i would love to go and stay the nite in, even all by myself. i’ve never been there but i would love to go & see everything there is SAFE OR NOT!

i like scary stories i wat to see pixs tho

iama tell yo mammas

i love u sammy

I belive this. Ghousts are real. I know it. I have seen one by my bed at night. I’ts not as scary as it seems. I saw it and ducked under the covers, then sence i was curious about three minutes later i came up again and the ghoust was gone.

I think that its all fake it don;t really matter because it;s fake.

ive been there before and how do you know that prisinors hit the cell when know 1 is there

i have been ther before with my aunt,mom,cousin,and my sister.
I beileve there is such a thing as “ghosts”
To those who dont believe in them U people are Ingnorent people.
Well the story was that my cousin josie,my sis steph,and me were going to together for the self guide thing.Well for some reason my cousin Josie and me went off together to other places while my sister Steph stayed behind.Joise and I felt we should go and vist those hard concrete cells and so we did.We went around taking pictures and all that stuff.
Later on my aunt and mom told my sis Steph to go and look for us.Steph went around and went downstair to look for us.She went into the showers and she said that she was in the room and no one was in there expect a few people away in some other room.She said that she felt like something told her to get away and she said that she felt as if a hand had touched her on her shoulder and thats when she went out of there and thats when she found us upstairs.She started yelling at us because we had gone away from her.Then we all decided to go around the concrete jail cells and i beleive just to freak eachother out we went to the cells 13 and 14.We enter them and we got out.For some reason i felt like if someone was said something behind my ear in cell 14.Well we got outside and found out the last boat was about to leave and we got lucky to get the last boat.We had gotten our photos back and i believe one of the photos had some white smoke around us inside one of the jail cells.
BTW:There was a show called Unexplained Mysteries and this one guy that they called spent the night with the camera crew and investegeved there ans in the video the guy says he see this one man down the hall and he is speaking with him.After that you heard banging noise from below.They decided to leave a camera on and left it there for the night.The next day they inevesteged the tape and in the tape you see down a the hall something going closer to the camera and then dissappear.

I beileve in the paranormal!

I’ve heard of Alcatraz they shown it on T.V four years ago and I don’t believe it I don’t believee in ghosts did you know that they turned it into a museum and they had used it in movies

By the way if ýa’ll live in San Fransisco OR likes the 49ers is a ******
AND this girl named Becca you are so stupid to believe this **** you are a *****

that is so awesome i want to see if this is true but i dont want to go to jail and exspeically over night but as i read these comments i see some peoples relatives have been to jail some say that it is not true but others say it is so i dont know what to say well so far this story is really intersting and as i said i want to go there just not to jail and for those who said no it is not true well you better hope that it is right and for those who actually beileve{sp??}in this story good for you i just want to say thet you should beilve ether way even if it is not right but do not bet on it because you have a 50 50 chance so lisence to me

Nice story. But seriously, if there is a ghost of some guard wouldn’t there also be a ghost of some prisoner as well? I mean with all of its cells,corridors and dungeons you’d figure there would also be some other apparition, demon or whatever.

hello, ghost peeps!

Last October I took a small group with me on a night tour of Alcatraz. If you haven’t been there I definitely suggest you go… especially at night. It is a very spooky place. I brought with me the usual array of ghost hunting equipment but didn’t find any real conclusive proof of ghosts. I did pick up an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) of a child in cell block D. For those skeptics out there, I thought it was odd that a child would be at Alcatraz prison. I did a considerable amount of research and initially found that families including children of the guards did live at the prison, but I could find no record of a child who died there. That was until I located an article that told of an incident during the Indian take over of the island in January 1970. A child of one of the activist, Yvonne Oakes, fell to her death from a third story apartment on the island. Whether you believe or not… have fun. Ghost research is a great way to learn about history people and places. Oh by the way… Only some of the areas and building are off limits, you can spend the night there on occasion. (A troop of boy scouts had just arrived and were spending the night as I left) The Island is run by the U.S. National Park Service. http://www.nps.gov/alcatraz/ and they fix up building all the time.

I am very sensitive to spirits, and I can tell you there are definitely ghosts there. I was there in the daytime. Daytime, nighttime..it doesn’t matter. There are definitely numerous residents. The place where I encountered the most ghosts was in the cafeteria, and their energy was stronger there than anywhere else.

this is a disgrace to the honest kids on this site trying to look for info for a reasearch paper who do u think u are cussing and dropping f bombs im 14 and i can handle it but what if an younger kid gets on this and sees whta the hell is wrong with you!!!!!!!

like my name?

Oh my. Alot of activity seems to take place in this jail house. Reading every one’s comments was a surpriser, but I think all the swearing and off topic comments were unecessary. [Sigh]

Anyways hearing about this one haunting was exciting~! : D I, myself, now wants to tour this Jail house. I just need the money to do so. Lol.
Also, if you are visiting this place please do not provoke the spirit. It seems threatend and could cause a horrific scene. Please be extremely careful roaming around this area. It’s a jail, and many tragic scences were caused there.

Can’t wait to visit myself~!: D Please be careful and extremely cautious~!0:
We had enough people being hurt…T-T

All i wanna about alcatraz is,
where are Pop’s fingers?

This is not true.
This prison is not haunted!!!!

i do belive that, that could happen.
i believe in ghost
and i know that events like such can happen
f that
im not goin there
people that go are on some serious dope

*JAKE*THE BEST

I dont think I would spend the night there.. It could be exciting to sleep at a haunted place, but lets not forget that the prisoners as well as guards that used to be in Alcatraz wasnt exactly sane.. Im pretty sure their ghosts will be 10 times as mental as they were when they were alive.

people who have been there and dont really think it is haunted wont have **** done to them. looking at the past of this jail there has to be some entities left. people were raped and killed. it held some of the biggest criminals. i think it is very possible for it to be haunted. but then i have never set foot on the island just saw it many times crossing the bridge. i dont know why anyone would want to spend the night alone. i have always wanted to get a group of friends and spend the night there mainly cuz i am all into the supernatural world cuz i have seen ghosts and have had unexplainable things happen to me.

ive heard of alcatraz ….. it sounds creepy! although i probably wont want to spend a night there! i’ll be freaked out…

I would love to stay the night who wouldnt want to if you belive in ghost’s. Hello its a old prsion how awsome would it be to get to stay there

Hey Everyone!
So I think SF is almost second to new orleans when it comes to haunted landmarks. I’m one of those folks who love a good spook but I can actually tell a real one from just an imagination. I’m pretty sensitive to entities and can detect their energies. Alcatraz is most positively haunted. I was there and felt some negative energies. Also, I dont think its featured on this site, but the Queen Anne hotel in SF is another place of interest for all you ghost hunters out there. A particular room called “the Mary Lake Suite” is supposed to be haunted by Miss Mary Lake herself who used to be a school teacher there. My boyfriend and I decided to stay in that room one night for fun. It was definitely a creepy experience being in that hotel. When I busted out my digi cam to take pictures, the screen went crazy on me with all these static blinks and flashes. I put on 2 sweaters and was still freezing the whole night. Then at 2:30am, the TV in our room turned on by itself and woke the both of us up. We thought it was programmed to go off at a certain time, like an alarm or something, but that wasn’t the case. We turned off the TV and went back to bed. Half an hour later, the damn radio clock went off with this creepy *** tune. Haha, we sure got our money’s worth staying there that night. Check out Queen Anne hotel you guys!

I brought my daughter to Alcatraz and when i was there i very sad feeling came over me even though there were alot of people there walking about and alot of talking going on. There was one instance where i took a picture of my daughter in a cell and my daughter said come inside mom and i did and again an overwhelming feeling of sadness that i felt it was a cell that was facing a window and light was coming in it was near the “bird man’s” cell. It could just be that the place is very gloomy and depressing especially if you go there on a day that is overcast if i was sent there i would have tried with my life to escape too.

Yeah, been there done that. I think everyone just WANTS Alcatraz to be haunted. i’ve got a pretty strong sense, and felt nothing there but, as the previous poster said, out of breath walking up the hill. interesting place, but not haunted.

can u actually get there at night past security

I shudder in fear as my night goes on.

I have a scary story. In 1841, a man named James Arminstead built a house for his wife. His wife was named Giovanni de Caprica. One noght at 11:45 p.m Giovanni started screaming in her sleep. But then, she stopped. James went up to see her, but Giovanni was killed and kidnapped. James killed himself for he wanted to be with Giovanni again.

Laurel, I don’t cusing…I assume you mean using profanity? If you’re a kid, where are your parents while your cristian self is reading adults cusing?

As for Alcatraz…I’m open to it being haunted. I live in San Francisco and have visited the prison several times. It’s quite spooky, and a perfect place for the traditional idea of haunting. The suffering must have been unbearable for the prisoners and their victims. I don’t consider myself a ’sensitive’ but I am a believer in the paranormal. I’d love to spend a night at Alcatraz but the chances are slim to none. It’s a fascinating place and I hope no souls are really trapped there.

Why are people posting random stuff…this site is REAL HAUNTED HAUSES meaning that if you see it you believe it is real…kinda the point of the show…and the staying overnight is bs…you could potentially get a chance or break the rules/law to do it…Alcatrez has to be haunted…look at all the murders and ****…

I have worked with T.A.P.S AND WE WENT TO ALCATRAZ AND YES WE HEARD THE NOISES AS WELL IT WAS FREAKY WE HEARD NOISES AND VOICES IN OTHER PLACES AS WELL THOSE OF YOU WHO DONT BELIEVE IT GROW SOME BALLS AND EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF OH WAIT YOUR FROM CALIFORNIA THATS WHY THEY PUT ALCATRAZ THERE TO MAKE YOU BOYS WHO THINK YOU ARE MEN INTO PUSSYS WHICH ISNT TOO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up this morning, checked my email, and there was a missive from Buddie Lee who said he worked for TAPS. His spelling, tone and language makes me think TAPS is ****. I’d spend a night on Alcatraz. I live in San Francisco, have been on the tour many times. I believe in ghosts, I’m sure Alcatraz is plenty haunted. But there is no need to criticize California, or pretend you’ve ever worked for a ‘legit’ ghost hunter team. Is this a forum that should be on http://www.rotten.com?

Actually you can stay the night thru the park service in a cell. Its based off a lottery and must be submitted by Nov. The dungeons (citidel) and other off limit buildings are used for private tour and if you make a donation to the parks a rec you can ask for a tour of them but must be done well in advance. The “rumors” of banging cells are true and the reason Alcatraz is one of the most haunted places to visit in the US. Believe what want but at least experience it before you make your comments.

We went on the evening tour of Alcatraz, and it was an amazing place. We were really mad when the batteries of our camera’s were all dead after 10 minutes on the island…not all that surprising when you think of it, but we didn’t prepare! Bring spares if you go, we had ours fully charged! My husband is a non-believer, but came away with different views…:) It was abnormally cold in a few spots, and the uneasy feelings didn’t leave until we were back on the ferry again. I do believe this is a haunted, and special place. If you are in the area, it is very worth visiting, for the amazing history, and for spirit activity…if that interests you.

I didn’t add something to my previous comment that was possibly worth mentioning. I am very sensitive to energy, and throughout our time at Alcatraz, I became incredibly sad. My husband is very easy going for the most part, and got really argumentative while we were there. I am not sure if this is relative, but believe that several things are possible. It is a possibility that we were absorbing some of the negativity that was part of the history there….who knows? Have a great time, if you visit, but be ready with spare batteries!

well alcatraz is really good to go for a visit is a historic place. and it should be in for ever in our lives.

I need to go to Alcatraz, so I can check it out myself to see if I see or feel ghost.

Hi im Supernatural (yes my real name)
Me and my friends Spirit & Paranormal (Also thier real names) are going to go to Alcatraz and hunt for ghosts. The Alcatraz tours normally don’t let the general public sleepover but, Spirit’s mom is a San Frisco police and we get to hunt for ghosts. Also im not goth, and im only 13 so you can’t hold me agenst being goth. If we get anything we will post it on this website. And to make you jelous we are going to spend the night in Al Capones cell. Pretty neat to me, well talk to you later.

Yeah, i went to Alcatraz. it was hella cool. but, there was one spooky part. it was around 6:00 pm. i walked into Robert Stroud’s solitary confinement cell in D – block.(he spent 6 years in solitary confinement.) i took a camera with me to take pictures to maybe catch something interesting. it was so dark. the toilet was the only thing in there and it was just a hole in tha ground. i took about 12 different pics. when i walked out of the cell, i looked back to take another look before i moved on. the most f*cking scary thing happenwd. i saw an apparition of robert stroud appear for about one second, then just vanished. i blinked to make sure i wasn’t seeing things. i saw it again. he spoke to me this time. he said “get outta my cell!” i was freaked out. just to let you know… im making this up. hahahahahaha! i fooled you, biotch!
