41 Most Haunted Travel Destinations For Brave Adventurers
23. Alcatraz Island – San Francisco, USA
The infamous island prison known as "The Rock" housed some of America's most notorious criminals, including Al Capone. Its history of riots, isolation, and despair has cemented its reputation as profoundly haunted. Former guards and visitors report hearing cell doors clang shut, phantom footsteps echoing in empty corridors, disembodied whispers, and unexplained cold spots. Cell Block D, particularly cells 14D (the "hole"), is considered a major hotspot, with claims of terrifying entities and overwhelming feelings of dread. Even Mark Twain noted an "uncanny" atmosphere on the island long before the federal prison existed.
