Murphy Old Jail House
Case 201000930: Old Murphy Jailhouse
Background: The 1922 Jailhouse being torn down for the expansion of the courthouse. Several suicides and where
Eric Rudolph was placed when first caught.
Legend Has It: Many sightings have been seen at this old jailhouse that no longer stands. Voices and shadows that lurked around the cells, African-Americans that were placed in the based during a rain storm that flooded, drowning them all and the local town drunk "Old Bill" that reformed in the jail to later help all who came through those barred doors has been seen and heard by all.
Team members: Keith, Lori, Jon, Barbara H, Barbara V, Rudy and Audry
