The Old Doniphan Jail in Doniphan, Missouri, is reportedly haunted by the spirit of an armed figure, seen waving from a jail window and disappearing when the sheriff checked the empty building. This activity occurred despite the jail no longer being operational. A ghostly figure, dressed as if armed, has been observed in the window of the old jail. When the sheriff of the time investigated the sightings, the figure would vanish, and the building would be found empty. The reports mention the jail has three cells, each with two bunks. The sheriff would sometimes allow inmates to walk in the hallway for exercise, a practice that may have contributed to the setting for the ghost's appearance.
