Have you ever been to alcatraz in San Francisco, CA?

We went to visit the famous prison island, Alcatraz, about two years ago with my family. I think all the movies made it seem more interesting, as things like “the rock” with Nicholas Cage was filmed there, etc. The history was kind of interesting but all in all, I think it was a great day for the weather, but the actual prison tour was creepy & strange, at best.

What do you think of Alcatraz island tours, if you’ve taken one?

Answer #1

Hey thedude, im in Aust and where I am we have a local jail - Maitland jail, listed as one of the top ten haunted places in Australia. Its also where they housed one of the most well known serial killers of here in Australia Ivan Milat. It has a lot of hype like that of alcatraz. I was all excited when I got there but it wasn’t half as creepy as I thought. I think the hype and publicity of these prisons along side the history is what made it most interesting for me.

Answer #5

I used to live in Oakland, CA., and saw (from a distance) the “Rock” many times. Being from Chicago and knowing the history of Alcatraz I have not got a desire to visit that state park.
There are to many “ghosts” out there and I don’t want them to get me he said with tongue in cheek? Really rather go to Yellowstone Park where Mother Nature is the Warden.
