Ghosts of Alcatraz

By Kathryn Vercillo

Book Overview

Alcatraz Island has a chilling history. Surrounded by icy waters, enshrouded by thick fog, and wrapped in whistling wind, it is no surprise to find that it is haunted. In fact, there is so much sadness, desperation, torture, and death in its past, it's almost impossible to believe that there aren't spirits there. Learn about famous prisoners who haunt the island and of those unnamed folks who continue to linger there. Hear Al Capone's mournful banjo and Robert "Birdman" Stroud's shriek in the wind. Find Smitty, the amazing escape artist, and Rufe McCain, who was murdered by a monster. Visit with unsettled spirits on Alcatraz, but make sure you catch the last boat home...

Ghosts of Alcatraz

Way Better introduction to the subject of ghosts of Alcatraz than some of the souvenir ones you can get...yes, there are alot of books that are more specific to certain things about Alcatraz, like rhe architecture, life, ans such... wish went into the subjects more and felt like that equipment items could be more helpful about what to look for...than being critical about ways and items used
