One of the scariest spots on the tour is the terrifying "Old Jail" built in the 1690s. This former prison is supposedly one of the most actively haunted places in the country. It's the last stop, and you'll get the chance to spend twenty minutes inside the pitch-dark jailhouse listening and watching for ghosts. As you might expect, plenty of people actually leave the tour before this point due to fright.
