Description

Immerse yourself in the paranormal with a private paranormal investigation inside one of the most haunted jails in the American southwest! The Old Gila County Jail and Sheriff’s Office in Globe is allegedly haunted by the spirits of former inmates, one of which was murdered in the building while awaiting trial. Many people that have visited the jail have witnessed strange things that can’t be explained. Loud bangs and eerie footsteps are often heard when only one person is alone in the building. Eerie shadowy figures have also been witnessed throughout the building. The Gila County Jail was open from 1910 until 1981. An inmate that was awaiting trial was assassinated in the jail. He supposedly haunts his old cell. Shadow figures are commonly seen throughout the building. Many EVPs have been recorded at the location. Most recently, a spirit of a little girl has been spotted in the alley way. The original Gila County jail in Globe, AZ, has quite the history, and is known as one of the more haunted places in the state. The abandoned Gila County jail has even been featured on the tv show “Ghost Hunters” when they made a trip to the old jail for some ghost hunting. While the jail is no longer used to house prisoners, it does play home to many different spirits, and is very popular in the ghost hunting community. One of those reported spirits is of Kingsley Olds, who was accused of drowning his employer’s two young daughters in 1911. While Kingsley was kept in isolation awaiting his trail, he was shot in the early morning hours. The gunman shot from the courthouse across the alley, and waited all night. The night before his death, it was reported that Kingsley was quite anxious and unsettled. He claimed to have been visited by the ghosts of the girls. It is believed they were trying to warn him. Ghosts of the two girls are reported to be seen in the jail. These are just a couple of the ghost stories linked to the Gila County Jail.
