Summary

Drive down Main Street in Crown Point, Indiana, and you’ll see a beautiful red-brick mansion. But there’s more to that building. Much more. That red-brick mansion was built in 1892 and was the Sheriff’s House and Jail; ten jail cells were originally on site. But soon, they needed more cells; by 1928, they had 150 cells.

For years, it might have been best known as an inescapable prison, that is, until one very famous prisoner, John Dillinger, escaped. These days, it might be best known for the prisoners and guards who have never left. It was recently voted number six in the USA Today’s Top 10 Haunted Destinations in the U.S.

Today on The Grave Talks, Part One of our conversation about those who never left the Old Lake County Jail with Jacquie Thompson, Vice President, and Sandy Boyd, President of the Old Sheriff’s House Foundation.

If you’d like more information on the jail, tours, and paranormal investigation, visit their website at oldsheriffshouse.org, or you can go to their Facebook page at Old Lake County Jail.
