    EddyvilleUnited States1886–present

    Known throughout the region as the 'Castle on the Cumberland,' the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville is Kentucky's oldest and only maximum-security correctional facility. Looming over Lake Barkley with its imposing Victorian Gothic stone towers, battlements, and heavy perimeter walls, this active penal institution holds a terrifying historical legacy of executions, inmate riots, forced labor, and intense paranormal phenomena reported by prison personnel.
