The Ghosts Of Alcatraz
Alcatraz, also known as “The Rock,” was a maximum-security fortress where only the most dangerous and clever criminals were sent. One of the most infamous prisons in American history, it sat alone on a rocky island in San Francisco Bay and was once considered escape-proof. But decades after the prison closed, questions still linger. Did some prisoners actually escape? What secrets remain hidden behind its crumbling walls? And could Alcatraz be a place where even death isn’t enough to set you free?
In this episode of Weird History Presents: Graveyard Shift we take a look at the strange history of Alcatraz, the prison that may never let go.

I don't remember a lighthouse on Alcatraz… from the stories I've heard about the Rock 🪨 I don't recall a lighthouse there but someone could gave Capone a banjo 🪕

Hopis is pronounced hope-eez, not hope-is. Those are people from the Hopi tribe.

Thanks for using human narration.
Small note: the Olone pronounce the final E.

Sylvia Browne was a first class charlatan and horrible person. Ghost stories are fun and exciting but facts are nil for proof of ghostly existence.

FYI Sylvia Brown was proven to be a phony.

Even if Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers drowned, I'd still say they managed to escape the island.
