From Escape-Proof to Eternally Haunted: The Dark History of the Old Lake County Jail

Built in 1882 in Crown Point, Indiana, the Old Lake County Jail was once considered escape-proof and one of the finest in the state. However, infamous criminals like John Dillinger and James Sammons managed to break free, leaving a legacy of daring escapes and criminal exploits.

Join us as we explore the history and paranormal claims of the Old Lake County Jail, where the spirits of past inmates seem to have found no escape from their troubled pasts. Tune in to learn more about the restless souls who still linger within the walls of this historic and haunted location.
