Also known as “Old Pen,” this former jail — which operated from 1872 to 1973 — is now the home of numerous entities (likely former inmates) stirring up all kinds of trouble.
More than 13,000 felons were locked up here during the century in which it was open, including Raymond Allen Snowden, also known as Idaho’s Jack the Ripper. In October 1956, the convicted murderer was sentenced to death and hanged.
Visitors have reported feeling touches, sudden emotions of dread or despair, hearing whispers in the hallways, and seeing unexplainable flashing lights.
The Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures” team investigated Old Pen a years ago, and not only did they hear mysterious bangs and voices, but they also photographed what appeared to be a male apparition. Many attest its identity is Snowden, who has haunted the grounds ever since that fateful fall day.
