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.
