In the 1880s, the Squirrel Cage Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was considered a revolutionary concept in housing inmates.  They claimed the new concept allowed for "maximum security with minimum jailer attention." 

It was a "19th-century marvel,” constructed so that only one jailor could watch an entire prison full of prisoners. The cells were all positioned on a central carousel that, when a hand crank was turned, would rotate the cells so that only one could be entered at a time. However, it didn’t take long to realize this concept didn’t work as they thought it would. While the jailer could attend to the one cell – the others were trapped. Of the 18 prisons built, most were closed within a couple of years after opening – however – the Squirrel Cage Jail remained in operation until 1969.

But it seems some of those who were once there are still there. Reports of hauntings date back to the 1950s when a jailor refused to sleep in his quarters because he believed it to be haunted. In this episode, we talk about the hauntings of the Squirrel Cage Jail with Kat Slaughter, Director of the Squirrel Cage Jail and RailsWest Railroad Museum.

In the 1850s, Kansas was a territory, and the battle was raging between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. In 1855, the Free State Hotel was built in Lawrence, Kansas. There was no doubt about what the hotel represented. It was burned down on the day of its grand opening.

It was rebuilt by Colonel Shalor Eldridge. The Eldridge Hotel now stands on that site, and the original cornerstone of the Free State Hotel remains embedded in the wall of Room 506. It is said that Colonel Eldridge has never left his beloved hotel and is there to this day.

This is Part Two of our conversation with Dennis Sneed about the historic—and haunted—Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence, Kansas.

In the 1870s, the town of Garnett, Kansas, was a crossroads of a new world. Settlers, cowboys, criminals, and the righteous passed through this now-forgotten town. Some notable characters of the day included Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickock, Buffalo Bill Cody, Belle Star, Jesse James, and many others who stayed at the Garnett House Hotel. And some of those guests never left. Screams in the night have been heard on EVP recordings taken at the Haunted Garnett House. One of the most disturbing elements of these screams is that they appear to come from a child. Who is this child? And what this child needed remains unknown. However, these screams are far from a one-time occurrence.
