There were ghosts at the San Quentin gallows. That's what the hangman saw. San Quentin

Executioner Amos Lunt 

Jump to Ad-Free Safe House Edition

Episode 95 explores a different point of view of capital punishment, a behind the scenes look at the gallows of San Quentin Prison from the hangman’s point of view. One of the minor characters in Episode 84 “The Belle in the Belfry” was the hangman, Amos Lunt, who seemed quite shaken by the event and was reported as “seeing spooks”. That was enough to get me to look a little deeper into Amos Lunt and his descent into madness.
