Pauly Jail Live Ghost Hunt and Professional Investigation 2018

Webb #Paranormal Group’s Pauly Jail Live #Ghost Hunt was held at the Pauly Jail aka #Bullock County Jail Museum is located in #Union Springs, AL. It is a Gothic Style Red Brick building with three stories. The women inmates were held on the first floor, while the second and third floor was reserved for men. The third floor was designated for the more hardened criminals such as murderers and rapists. The trapped door with the pulley with which the rope was attached too was the gallows where executions could be performed on the third floor. The jail’s inside walls and bars of the cells where all painted black. This just added to the gloominess that already existed. There was no air conditioning for the inmates during the hot #Alabama summers. Inmates were often stacked into the cells like sardines with 10-12 people in the cells that are approximately 8 ft. x 8 ft. Imagine the heat, sweat, and misery of being stuck in the cage painted black. The stench had to be horrific. The inmates could drink from the sink to help cool off a bit but most cells didn’t have a toilet or sink in it. The privilege of getting to go outside in the courtyard for some fresh air must have been exhilarating. Pauly Jail Live Ghost Hunt and Professional #Investigation Webb Paranormal Group hosted a public Ghost Hunt on the evening of Saturday, October 20, 2018, at Pauly Jail in Union Springs, Alabama. Our guest on the hunt started arriving around 5 P.M. and was anxious once seeing the looming Pauly Jail. Shortly afterward, Teresa Fikes gave them a tour of the infamous Pauly Jail and the Old City Cemetery along with a short stroll downtown. This gave the guest a little historical information to help aid in the investigation that was later to come. Once the tour was down, refreshments were offered by Webb Paranormal Group members while Stan Fikes, WPG Director/lead investigator went over the protocols of investigating. Shajuana Coleman, Team Training Manager, was set up with an equipment table for the guest to check out the piece of equipment they wanted to use during the investigation. When the guest was finished with their investigation they would return the equipment to Shajuana, who marked it as returned. Then armored with a new view of things, and some really awesome equipment, the actual ghost hunt began. Professional #Paranormal Investigators After the live Ghost Hunt was over with, the WPG team and guest enjoyed a Chili Dog supper. Each member contributed something to the feast. Vera Haney kept us supplied with Coffee, a much-welcomed drink in the business. This much-needed break gave the team time to rest and refresh body and mind. It also gave the Haints time to rest too. After all the public guest had left for the night; it was time to get down to some real investigating. Webb Paranormal Group along with RIP from Enterprise, Alabama and Blaine Rohan from Wetumpka, Alabama joined forces to discover the secrets of Pauly Jail aka Bullock County Jail Museum. Out came the DVR, Special Rigs with Cameras, meters, drones, and digital recorders. Even some old school tape recorders were brought out. A Jacob’s Ladder was there as well, just to add some flair to the scenes. #J.W. Mann’s Grandson Special Guests, James and Dona Brooks, joined everyone that night for some very informative #research of the old Haint. Mr. James Brooks was the grandson of J.W. Mann, a former inmate that died in the jail on the second floor. Mr. Mann was killed when a cigarette he lit caught the mattress in his cell on fire. He died of smoke inhalation on Christmas Eve 1960. He is just one of the ghost of Pauly Jail that we encountered. It is firmly believed he had a message for his grandson. There were quite a few #anomalies that were experienced that night, some explainable some not. Make sure to catch our next post to find out what the results of the investigation were.

Keeping Comfortable We served hot dogs with all the trimmings for our guest that day and that night. We all had a great time while we learned a little more about the community, history, and people of the Union Springs, #Alabama. We shared stories and experiences with everyone. It was a cold night and many were bundled up. Some people even sneaked off to cars for a little while to warm up. We cannot run electric heaters or air conditioning because of the sensitive equipment we use during the investigation. Therefore, we try to have hot drinks in the wintertime and cold drinks in the hotter months.

Haunted Pauly Jail in Union Springs, Bullock County, Alabama

Haunted Pauly Jail in Union Springs Pauly Jail is one of the oldest established correctional facilities in the state of #Alabama, the #Bullock County Jail, was erected in 1897. It was utilized as a film set in 2004.  Gothic Victorian Architecture The three-story red brick Victorian Gothic style of building is almost square in its design plan. Cement covers the foundation and the lower courses of the brick. The finished wall with rough masonry stone lintels located over the door and windows give the building a castle-like facade featuring four small projecting square brick turrets with witch’s hats (spiked metal caps) at the corners. The building has a metal-hipped roof. A single door is the entrance on the ground level which leads to the women’s area and the jailer’s office. Also you will find what is left of a kitchen that was add later to the old jail so the inmates could have hot meals. On the second floor is the bullpen, where the inmates shared a metal table and benches that served as their eating quarters. To the right of the table was a commode and an open shower for bathing. On the third level, a trap door is set in the floor. The door, which could be opened by pushing a lever, could have been used for hanging condemned prisoners in the early 1900s. It sits behind the 1871 Second Empire Style Bullock County Courthouse, adjacent to a beautiful landscaped park and gazebo. In 2000, a restoration of the jail was undertaken but funds soon ran out before it was completed. Pauly Jail Building Company, Inc. The #Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company was founded in 1856 by Mr. P. J. Pauly, a German-American born in 1832. The company was incorporated in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1885 and is the predecessor of the corporation as it presently exists. The company was the first to succeed after discovering the advantages of steel jail construction. #Pauly Jail in Union Springs http://www.unionspringsalabama.com/Pauly-Jail.html Watch this video to learn more about our Pauly Jail in #Union Springs in Bullock County, Alabama investigation that took place in November of 2016.
