Old Lake County Jail

Crown Point, Indiana

The record

The jail is known for John Dillinger’s 1 9 3 4 escape. Later accounts describe rattling bars, shadows and harmonica-like sounds. During a 2 0 1 4 investigation, some participants reported a bang and shadow, while another stressed that neighboring voices, equipment hum and echoes contaminated recordings.

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