Escape from the Haunted Old Newgate Prison

In Episode 351 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the ruins of Old Newgate Prison in East Granby, Connecticut. The prison got its start as a copper mine back in 1709. After the mine closed, Connecticut believed they found the perfect place for their first state prison. After multiple escapes and riots, a more formal building was constructed on the site. It was a place the inmates simply called: Hell.    See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-351-escape-from-the-haunted-old-newgate-prison/   Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends
