LOCATION
Why is Joliet Correctional Center said to be haunted?
Built in 1858 to replace an overcrowded facility in Alton, Joliet Correctional Center held some of Illinois's most notorious inmates for nearly a century and a half before closing in 2002, and was the site of at least one riot with fatalities in 1975. Limestone quarried by inmate labor gives the cell blocks a grim, hand-built weight visitors still notice on tours. Former guards and later ghost-hunting crews have reported disembodied voices in the empty cell blocks, sudden temperature drops near the old hospital wing, and the sound of a heavy door slamming shut with no one near it. The prison's afterlife as a filming location β most famously for the 1980 opening of The Blues Brothers, where Jake Blues walks free through its gates β only deepened its odd reputation as a place that never fully lets people go.
