Ghost Photo: Alcatraz Spirit?

A reader writes: “This is a picture my son took with his phone while we were at Alcatraz. This is one of the sections that was closed off to the public. The first is the original. Second is zoomed in. Please let me know what you think.”


Located on a small island in San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary was one of the world’s most notorious prisons and housed ruthless criminals like Al Capone, George “Machine Gun Kelly,” and Robert Franklin Stroud. The prison closed in 1963 and is today a popular tourist attraction managed by the National Park Service. It’s also rumored to be one of the most haunted places in America.
What do you make of the photo? Ghost or park employee?
