Ep. 65 The Old Sheriff's House and Lake County Jail


Listen Later

The Old Sheriff's House and Lake County Jail in Crown Point, Indiana, have an interesting history, and the ghosts we find here seem to want to make their presence known. Let's look beyond the building's history to learn all we can about Crown Point so we might have a better understanding of who these ghosts are. Like I always say, to understand the ghosts, we must first understand the history.

 

⭐️ Date mistake: I said that the Jail opened in 1626 when I meant to say 1926. I have updated this new upload to fix my mistake, but this fixed version might take a while to update. As you all know, I try hard not to make dyslexic mistakes during my recordings, but occasionally, I slip up. Thanks for the understanding. ⭐️
