Farragut State Park/The Brig, Athol
The Brig at Farragut State Park is considered haunted due to paranormal activity including unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and lights turning on and off. Visitors have reported seeing a full-body apparition in a uniform, and one story claims the ghost of a German prisoner who died there is responsible for activity in the former naval brig. The building served as the brig for the former Farragut Naval Training Station and now houses a museum with a history of paranormal encounters. Witnesses have claimed to see a full-body apparition of a person in uniform inside the brig. Objects have been reported to move on their own within the jail cells. Sounds that cannot be attributed to natural causes have been heard. Lights have been seen turning on and off, and there have been reports of unexplained noises. One prominent story suggests the brig is haunted by the ghost of a German soldier captured during wartime who died in the brig. This prisoner was allegedly held in a locked lower-level room before his death, and his spirit is believed to be the source of some of the reported paranormal activity.
