But what makes this location one of the most haunted in America? Could it be the notorious inmates and murderers that once wandered its stone chasms and hollow hallways? Or the grisly executions that would frequently take place on-site at the prison's gallows? There may be more to the story than you think and we're here to explain what makes this penitentiary more haunted than most in the U.S.

It's the second oldest hospital ever built on independent American soil that's still operating to this day, with the first being the Bellevue in New York. However, unlike the Bellevue, this hospital takes the number one spot in Georgia's "most haunted" locations...

Imagine for a moment you're trapped, surrounded by stone walls that bleed with rust, with only a small window looking over a moat and towards freedom. A kind of freedom that isn't expended for you. Hungry, just like your fellow cell mates, you each fight one another for the opportunity to catch and consume whatever rats have infested your cell block that night. Otherwise, you'll be left starved, cold, and afraid, with only the hollow echoes of screams and sobs to comfort you.
