Alcatraz Island

The Rock — clanging doors, banjo tones in D-Block, and cold spots in the laundry.

View on Street View (opens in Google Maps)

Alcatraz housed the country's most dangerous prisoners until 1963. Rangers and night staff describe cell doors vibrating, screams in the infirmary, and the sound of a banjo when no musician is present.

Night tours sell out quickly; bring layers for the bay wind and note what you hear in D-Block versus the mess hall.
