Alcatraz Island - unexplained sounds and the 1962 escape

Alcatraz Island has long been associated with reports of unexplained voices, footsteps, and occasional apparitions in the cellblocks and hospital, accounts that appear in visitor testimonies, former-staff interviews, and tour narratives. The island is also the location of the 1962 escape by Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin; whether the escapees survived after leaving Alcatraz remains officially unresolved and debated. These phenomena-auditory/visual reports and the unresolved fate of the 1962 escapees-have attracted ongoing public and scholarly interest.
