Old Wyoming State Penitentiary

Wyoming · USA · Execution site

Rawlins calls it the Old Pen. It closed in the early 1980s and opened again as a museum, and the tour groups keep reporting the same things.

The Old Wyoming State Penitentiary at Rawlins was taken out of use in the early 1980s. It is now a historic site and a tourist attraction, and the citizens of Rawlins call it the Old Pen with a certain amount of affection.

What separates this from most prison hauntings is who is doing the reporting. Members of tour groups, people who paid to come in and had no particular expectation, describe hearing voices in the cells, seeing figures disappear around corners, and encountering presences they describe as hostile or tense.

Employees report the same things. Apparitions and sounds, on ordinary working days.

A group of paranormal investigators worked the building recently. Their specifics were never released, and what came back was couched in vague terms, which tells you as much about that industry as about the prison.

Wyoming executed men here. The building is preserved rather than ruined, which means visitors walk through cells and corridors that look much as they did, and the reports have stayed consistent across decades of tours.
