51. The Morgue at Alcatraz May Be Haunted

As if the name Alcatraz was not enough to induce spine-tingling fear and apprehension, we give you a historical photo of the prison’s morgue. The island off of San Francisco housed a maximum-security prison for nearly three decades before closing in the 1960s, following a highly publicized escape. Allegedly the morgue was used only once when a prisoner died, and the coroner did not make the ferry to the mainland, but the notorious prison has many secrets. How many people really died on this table? Do you see a ghost in this photo?
