Gorgona’s Jail, Colombia’s very own Alcatraz
Gorgona’s Jail, Colombia’s very own Alcatraz.Haunted Gorgona’s Jail, Colombia’s very own Alcatraz. Gorgona Island was called the “Alcatraz of Latin America”, Today is a National Park. The abandoned island of Gorgona is another destination on our list of the most haunted places in the country. Its name comes from the poisonous snakes that live on the island, reminiscent of Medusa, the most famous gorgon in Greek Mythology.
Located just 22 miles away from the Pacific coast of the department of Cauca, these ruins have become part of a National Natural Park which attracts hundreds of tourists annually and seeks to preserve the area’s abundant fauna and flora.
The maximum-security institution, which operated from 1960 to 1984, housed the most dangerous criminals in facilities that included small wooden cabins, punishment cells, and latrines. As the story goes, the prisoners had to survive scary horror stories of their own, as if they were competing in some Halloween activities contest. From facing animals such as sharks and poisonous snakes, to being exposed to the worst tropical diseases.
Entering Gorgona at that time was almost certainly a death sentence, just as it was trying to escape from it. It is on our list of most haunted places because it is said that even presently the prison’s strange energy is substantiated by fleeting shadows and unexplained noises, with some visitors even claiming to have experienced the sensation that someone is trying to hold them back while on the ghost tour. Many also report hearing the yelling and screaming of inmate spirits.
Today it is a place recognized for being a great diving spot with remarkable biodiversity, and is considered to be one of the best places to visit in Colombia.
