250 people, including inmates and guards, called this their final resting place. Many were executed, others were murdered, and some even died due to exposure to the terrible conditions. This was not a happy place.
For most of the year, the Wyoming Frontier Prison is open for historic tours. This eerie building is considered by many to be haunted — and the experiences guests have here would only seem to confirm those rumors.
Apparitions, orbs in photos, unexplained noises, cold spots, and the overwhelming feeling of someone watching you are just some of the commonly reported happenings on the normal daytime tours.
The prison was one of the most brutal in the country, wrangling criminals in from Wyoming's lawless streets. There were hangings and gas chamber executions here on Death Row, and you can still see the gas chamber when you explore the grounds.
Put on your bravest face this Halloween and plan a visit to the most haunted spot in Wyoming, where you'll be sure to have the daylight scared out of you. After all, it's not that often that a truly haunted and eerie place hosts such an incredible event!
