🕯️ We Explored The Bastille: Hanford’s Haunted 1800s Jail (FULL INVESTIGATION & HISTORY) | Witch Dark Tales #hauntedplace #thebastille #hauntedjail #hanford #scarystories 


Deep in the heart of Hanford, California stands a chilling relic of the past: The Bastille—a stone fortress that once served as Kings County’s jail. Built in 1897 and modeled after the infamous French prison, this place has seen decades of suffering, death… and possibly something that still lingers.

In this Witch Dark Tales podcast, we uncover the true history of The Bastille, explore the abandoned halls after dark, and reveal terrifying paranormal claims from locals who swear this place is still haunted.

👁️ Voices in empty cells
🕯️ Cold spots and phantom footsteps
🚪 Doors slamming with no one around
🔒 Spirits of inmates who never left

We walk the same granite halls that once held California’s forgotten prisoners—and what we captured gave us chills. Some buildings are abandoned… but others are alive with memories that refuse to fade.

🎙️ Featuring immersive narration, real ghost stories, and an exclusive nighttime walkthrough of The Bastille’s interior.

🕷️ TURN OUT THE LIGHTS. HIT PLAY. AND JOIN US IN THE DARK.
