Haunted and Alone

Haunted murder house

I’ll tell ya, Body snatching is a term that describes the act of secretly removing corpses from graves in order to sell them. Body snatching was a frequent occurrence in the 1800s in the United States. The purchasers of the corpses were primarily medical schools where the bodies were used for dissection and anatomy lessons. As the number of medical schools in the United States proliferated and the study of anatomy became a priority, the need for fresh cadavers intensified. Many medical practitioners and institutions believed body snatching was a necessary evil, one that was offset by the benefits anatomical study of the bodies would provide.

The Cambria County Jail in Ebensburg, PA was built in 1872 and housed prisoners until 1997, when they were transferred to the new Cambria County Prison a couple... of miles away. The building is built in the style of a Welsh Castle. It became the Cambria County records depository in January 1999. Since then, a museum has been added by the Cambria County Historical Society. The disappearance of Michael "Smitty" Smith from his cell here in 1884 is quite the mystery! Smitty was to be hanged for the killing of a Johnstown man. The hanging never happened, though, because Smitty vanished the night before he was to die on the gallows in October 1884 and was never found. The cell he vanished from? it was a locked cage of steel bars inside a small concrete room. The walls outside of the prison were 22 feet high. On his mattress, he left a farewell note to the prison warden. He was never seen again. Scroll to the bottom of the Cambria County Historical Society's web page to see old photos of the stone jail, including a photo of the last hanging there in 1909 and a sheriffs pass to attend an execution. http://www.cambriacountyhistorical.com/gallery.htm
