The former brig, is the only original building remaining on what is now a state park and camping area, has set the scene for several apparitions, all described in detail by at least half a dozen state employees. These employees worked in the brig building, which was used as a state parks maintenance building. All of the employees who encountered a ghostly visitor described a balding man who might have been in some kind of uniform, possibly prisoner's garb. Others, who did not see the apparition, talked about hair-raising experiences with large objects being mysteriously 'relocated' or objects flying across the cells, which still exist in the building, bars and all.
