The Ghosts of Squirrel Cage Jail, Part One | The Grave Talks

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!The Squirrel Cage Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was once considered a revolutionary design—built in the late 1800s as a rotating structure meant to house inmates efficiently. But what looked innovative on paper quickly became something far more complicated in practice.Operating from 1885 to 1969, the jail witnessed decades of confinement, hardship, and death—leaving behind a history that some believe still lingers within its walls. Reports of paranormal activity date back decades, with both staff and visitors describing experiences that are difficult to explain.Kat Slaughter, Director of the Squirrel Cage Jail and RailsWest Railroad Museum, takes us inside the history of this unusual structure and the activity reported there today. From unexplained sounds to encounters within the rotating cells, the stories tied to this location continue to raise questions.It’s a look at a place where design, history, and the unexplained come together—and where something may still remain.#paranormal #squirrelcagejail #iowahauntings #hauntedjail #paranormalinvestigation #ghosthunting #hauntedlocations #ghosthunters #supernatural #ghostevidence #paranormalactivity #hauntedhistory #midwesthauntings #paranormalpodcast #thegravetalks Love real ghost stories?
