Many people would like to believe that Frank Morris and the two Anglin brothers experienced this escape from Alcatraz, but this cannot be proven. Fifty years have passed since their escape and we still have no evidence as to whether or not they ever lived. Alcatraz became one of the most haunted places in America and was home to some of America's most notorious criminals. Some will choose to believe that the ghosts of Alcatraz exist, but others will not. So why did Alcatraz close its doors? How did the prisoners escape and are they alive? The famous Alcatraz Island is located in San Francisco Bay, a mile and a half off the coast of San Francisco, California. You could say that the weather on Alcatraz is very unpredictable, but why? Some would like to believe it's because of all the prisoner spirits hanging around but that's not the case here. One reported that "cold, foggy mornings can give way to sunny afternoons, which in turn can quickly return to more fog and high winds." It rarely gets above seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit or below thirty-eight degrees Fahrenheit, it almost never snows on the island. Winters are wet and winds are expected in every season.

Since Alcatraz is not very big, the guard families lived in building number sixty-four. There were three apartment buildings, a large duplex and four wooden houses for senior officers. The warden lived in a large house adjacent to the cells. He used inmates who had good behavior to clean and cook for him. The captain and the assistant principal lived in the same duplex.
