Alcatraz, California Sitting like a beacon in the middle of the
San Francisco Bay, between
San Francisco and Oakland,
California, is
Alcatraz Island. Though most prominently known for the years it served as a maximum security prison, the "Rock’s” history stretches far beyond those infamous days, and its legends and stories continue to find their way into American lore, complete with a number of ghosts who are said to remain upon the island.
