The ghosts of Yuma.

The Yuma Territorial Prison in Arizona is supposed to be the most haunted place in the area. From 1876 to 1909, 111 prisoners died there, most from tuberculosis. Stories have it that some never left…that their spirits stayed on. The dark cell was for troublemakers. Visitors report feeling the presence of a ghost. One reporter planned to stay in the cell for 48 hours with a jug of water and a loaf of bread. But she called for help after 37 hours, saying she felt she wasn’t alone in the cell.
