Prison and a Visit From Stickers

We had guests this episode! The long awaited visit from Stickers and Chuck joined us as well. Tori regales us with the story of Alcatraz. She’s been keeping this one in her pocket for awhile folks. From the discovery of Alcatraces in 1775 by Juan Manuel de Ayala to the present day iteration as a national park. A military fort, military prison, prison, and then a place of protest from indigenous people, the Rock has seen much history. The prison’s prison, the Rock was used to get unruly prisoners from other prisons to behave. Through many escape attempts and famous prisoners, this has been ground zero for many legends and ghost stories. Krysti follows up with the answer to a question that was asked when Stickers got into town. “What is a Hoosier?” The answer is pick an answer, any answer. From asking “Who’s there?” at folks knocking on doors to river men beating the snot out of folks to “hush” them, there are too many answers to count. Most likely it’s because of “hill folk” from England.
