We've covered Jails and Prisons but have you seen one that's done in a rotary style?!?!?!?! Yes it's not a traditional jail but a cheaper version only requiring one guard and lots of danger. It was doomed to fail and came with a lot of death and now a lot of ghosts stories.
We travel to Council Bluffs, Iowa to visit the Squirrel Cage Jail to see its modern (for the 1800's) layout and visit with the resident ghosts there. Come take the tour with us and decide for yourself if it's haunted or not?? Make sure to ask for Jake Bird.
