Hello and welcome to the Historically Haunted Podcast! I am your Dyslexic host, Ariel, and I am so happy that you are here. If you enjoy history with a dose of paranormal on the side, then I hope you will enjoy my podcast. We take a deeper dive into the history of haunted locations to learn about the lives of the people who once lived there because to understand the ghosts, you must first understand the history. What started as a hobby to share my love for history and the paranormal grew into a podcast with a devoted fanbase who are very encouraging and supportive. I discovered that I could also use my platform to be an advocate for people with learning disabilities, and my show only grew from there. So sit back, relax, and let me tell you a historically haunted tale.

    The Old Sheriff's House and Lake County Jail

    The Old Sheriff's House and Lake County Jail

    The Old Sheriff's House and Lake County Jail in Crown Point, Indiana, have an interesting history, and the ghosts we find here seem to want to make their presence known. Let's look beyond the building's history to learn all we can about Crown Point so we might have a better understanding of who these ghosts are. Like I always say, to understand the ghosts, we must first understand the history.
     
    ⭐️ Date mistake: I said that the Jail opened in 1626 when I meant to say 1926. I have updated this new upload to fix my mistake, but this fixed version might take a while to update. As you all know, I try hard not to make dyslexic mistakes during my recordings, but occasionally, I slip up. Thanks for the understanding. ⭐️
