In the fourth episode of season 4 of Mysteries of the Abandoned, entitled "Underwater Ghost Prison," viewers are taken on a journey to explore an eerie and abandoned underwater prison located off the coast of Jamaica. The facility, known as the Fort Charles Marine Police Station, was once used to house dangerous criminals considered too dangerous for traditional prisons, and its location surrounded by shark-infested waters made it virtually impossible to escape from.
Built in the mid-19th century by the British navy, the prison was designed to hold up to 300 criminals at a time and was equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and methods of surveillance. However, it was abandoned in the early 1900s and has been left to decay ever since. Despite being underwater, the prison still contains many of its original features, including cells, chapel, and even an execution chamber.
The show's hosts and a team of experts venture deep beneath the waves to explore the eerie remains of the prison, examining the structures and artifacts left behind to try and piece together its history. The team also uncovers stories of those inmates housed at the prison, including notorious pirate Blackbeard, who is rumored to have been held at the facility before his execution.
As they journey further into the prison's depths, the team discovers a series of eerie and chilling phenomena that seem to point toward a haunting. They hear strange whispers, see movement out of the corners of their eyes, and experience cold spots that seem to go against the laws of physics. It's a spooky and unsettling discovery that leaves the team members wondering if the prisoners who perished within its walls are still there in spirit, trapped forever in their underwater jail.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to incredible underwater photography that captures the eerie beauty of the prison's decay, as well as rare glimpses of marine life that call the surrounding waters home. From majestic sea turtles to fearsome sharks, the underwater world of the Fort Charles Marine Police Station is truly a sight to behold.
As the episode draws to a close, the team reflects on the mysteries surrounding this abandoned underwater prison and the secrets that may lie hidden within its walls. It's clear that despite being abandoned for over a century, the Fort Charles Marine Police Station still holds many secrets and stories yet to be uncovered. For viewers brave enough to venture along, "Underwater Ghost Prison" promises to be an unforgettable journey into the heart of one of the world's most haunted and abandoned places.
