Old Ford County Jail

Paxton, Illinois

The record

A 2014 Ghost Research Society investigation examined the former jail, including its gallows and a cell associated with Frederick William Hollman. Participants reported a small bell sound and recording equipment stopping. The lead investigator reported no personal paranormal experience, and the report acknowledges noise from the large group as a limitation.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
