Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Step across the threshold of the Old Lavaca County Jail and the temperature plummets. Iron doors that haven’t budged in decades groan open by themselves; footsteps pace the cellblock even when your crew stands perfectly still. In this episode, paranormal investigators Lisa Franks and Debra Fawcett walk us through the shadows of this forgotten fortress, where murderers, moonshiners, and drifters once sweated out their last nights—and where many never truly left. Hear the hiss that skims across an empty infirmary, the phantom keys that still rattle on hooks, and the chilling recording Lisa captured of a prisoner begging, “Let me out.” From the legendary “hanging stairwell” to the solitary cell that cracks EVP gear, every corner breathes with unresolved anger. This is Part Two of our conversation.

1:09.3	But at night too.
1:10.3	So how often could that have happened that you weren't aware?
