Alcatraz, San Francisco Bay, California - Cayla tells the story of one of the most haunted places in the entire world! Alcatraz, La Isla de los Alcatraces, the Island of the Pelicans, has been around for hundreds of years. So how did it get so haunted?

Alcatraz held confederate soldiers, civilians accused of treason, Native Americans who had land disagreements with the federal government, and starting in the 1930's the US' most ruthless criminals, killers, kidnappers, mobsters, bank robbers, and depression era gangsters. One of the most famous anti-heroes who called this place home for four and a half years was Al Capone. Numerous deaths occurred at Alcatraz and it was said to be designed to break the spirits of the most unmanageable criminals. One of the most haunted locations inside of Alcatraz is the Spanish Dungeon located deep within the rock. Water seeps inside the cold, damp walls and prisoners were sent here in complete darkness as the ultimate punishment. They would be stripped naked and handcuffed to a bar with nothing but a hole in the ground to use as a bathroom. Locals call Alcatraz Evil Island, prisoners call it Hellcatraz. Join us this week for an exclusive and close up look at one of the world's worst prisons.
