Legends of the ghosts of Alcatraz existed long before a fort was built there, and then a prison.

One legend says that in 1944, the 14 D was locked one of the violators of the routine. As soon as the guard closed behind him door, the man began to scream heart-rendingly that he sees a monster with eyes glowing red fire, then the screams broke off, but the guard did not attach any importance to this. When the next day opened the cell, then they saw the corpse of a prisoner with traces of strangulation. An examination revealed that this was not suicide.
And the next morning the guards with surprised to find that there are more prisoners than expected: in at the end of the line was a man killed the day before, whose face was reduced by a grimace of pain and rage. However, the ghost also disappeared quickly, as it appeared. Then there was a version that the prisoner was strangled by a guard, but no evidence of guilt was found.
Therefore, perforce, many are inclined to believe that killing committed a ghost with burning eyes. In addition, back in the 1940s guards saw a ghost many times in the corridors of the eastern sector a man dressed in nineteenth-century fashion who came into cameras prisoners. You can imagine how terrified the inhabitants prison at the sight of a ghostly creature with eyes blazing fire. Moreover, not only the guards saw him, but also their relatives, living on the island.
