Day 6 - This was a really fun location to shoot at - Old Jail / Sheriff's House. So much history here, from John Dillinger to Johnny Depp.
Looking for something different and fun to do? Come to the Old Jail / Sheriff's House for a fun event! We will be hosting a murder mystery game inside this old, dark, creepily haunted jail. After the game there will be a 3 hour ghost hunt! Please bring a flashlight. This is a fundraising event to raise money for the Old Sheriffs House and Jail for future restorations and preservation. It is also helping raise money for the Lost Limbs Foundation. This is a foundation to help fund prosthetics for children among other things they may need.
$40 per person. Only a handful of tickets left. Any questions ask below!
Tickets available through event page!

"THE GENPOP EVP'S- PART 2" FROM OUR INVESTIGATION OF THE Old Jail / Sheriff's House (OLD LAKE COUNTY JAIL) IN CROWN POINT, INDIANA 5/15/2021
***HEADPHONES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***
(1) "I Hope You Meet Them" EVP Captured In The GenPop Block Of The Old Lake County Jail In Crown Point Indiana 5/15/21
While trying to get the guard to show himself, Shawn says "If we made you mad, I'm sorry, but we're just trying to get you to show yourself, that way we can prove you're here." It sounds as if an inmate may have responded to him. At the .27 second mark, you hear a pronounced whisper saying what sounds like "I HOPE YOU MEET THEM". Are they hoping we see them as our validation, or are they angry and want us to get billy clubbed by the guards? Guess we'll never know. ;) The link to this audio can be found below

(2) "The Other Way" & "Down The Street EVP's Captured In The GenPop Block Of The Old Lake County Jail In Crown Point, Indiana 5/15/2021
I ask "Are you Anna from downstairs?" At around the 14-15 second mark, you hear a whisper that sounds like "THE OTHER WAY, DOWN THE STREET." This is interesting, because we were walking around town prior to the investigation. Could've the spirit that we were in communication with, followed us back to the jail? It's definitely a possibility. The link to this audio can be found below
