Old Gilchrist County Jail, Trenton
The old Gilchrist County Jail is known as a haunted location due to the dangerous, unsupervised environment within its cells, which led to the deaths of some inmates, including a hanging. Visitors and paranormal investigators report experiencing shadowy figures, unexplained voices, being touched, and electronic disturbances like batteries draining. The jail, built in 1928, is considered a paranormal destination with "heavy paranormal activity," and it's been listed for sale with the promise of a unique, haunted property. The jail's dangerous conditions were exacerbated by a lack of supervision from the time sheriffs left at 6 p.m. to the next day, from 1928 to 1966. This unsupervised period led to dangerous situations, and some inmates died in the jail, including one found hanging in a cell that had housed six people. Visitors have reported seeing apparitions, shadowy figures, and hearing unexplained voices. Some individuals have felt the sensation of being touched while in the jail. There have been reports of batteries draining and paranormal crashes, such as the multiple listing service (MLS) going down when the property was listed for sale.
