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.

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! :)

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!
