Crown Point Jail

The Story: This jail was used for over 100 years and was thought to be impossible until John Dillinger proved them wrong by escaping with a gun carved out of soap. People have taken photos of orbs around the jail and others have seen lights go on and off. Others people have heard the jail bars rattle and unexplained noises coming from the jail.
