This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
On Crown Point’s Main Street stands a charming red-brick mansion hiding a chilling secret—the Old Lake County Jail. Once home to just ten cells, it eventually crammed in 150 inmates by 1928. Among them was America’s most wanted gangster, John Dillinger, who famously escaped in 1934, leaving his captors humiliated—and some spirits behind.
Though Dillinger slipped away, many prisoners never left. Visitors report apparitions of inmates and guards, the clang of cell doors slamming shut, phantom footsteps on the metal stairs, and whispers in dark hallways long after closing hours. Locals say this historic jail still holds those who served a life sentence—and never stopped.
In this episode of The Grave Talks, we join Jacquie Thompson and Sandy Boyd to explore the haunted history of Old Lake County Jail. From the building’s violent past to modern-day paranormal encounters, we uncover why this site is believed to be one of Indiana’s most haunted places.
