About this listen

 The source provides an extensive history and analysis of The Old Jailer’s House in Charlotte, Tennessee, focusing on its dual existence as a historical detention center and a modern nexus for paranormal activity. Built shortly after 1803, the structure served as a combined residence for the jailer and a prison, witnessing numerous instances of frontier justice, disease, and executions, including during the Civil War era. The text documents the stories of specific, often unjustly treated inmates—such as the robber Josiah "Blackjack" Harlan and the accused poisoner Eliza Mayfield—whose deaths are now linked to various spectral manifestations like EVPs and apparitions. The episode explains how modern paranormal investigators utilize technology to document the persistent hauntings, concluding that the house acts as an emotional amplifier where traumatic events continue to replay, leaving its spirits bound by fear or unresolved pain.
