The Alamo - San Antonio, Texas, USA
The earliest reports of ghosts at this location was when the Mexican general Santa Ana ordered the mission destroyed. The spirits of the monks who died there are said to have reached out of the walls and threatened his troops. To this day there are occasional sightings of spirits and fantastic creatures coming out of the walls.
There is also a legend of six ghosts that defended the Alamo from destruction, one taking the form of a colossus with fireballs in each hand. A depiction of this event is carved into the monument on the other side of the Alamo plaza.
Other spirits have been reported in the plaza in front of the Alamo. It is believed this is because so many people died, were buried, or burned in this location. Almost 1,000 documented during Spanish rule. Possibly thousands more since.
The ghost of a woman who was killed by lightning outside the Alamo is sometimes seen walking across the plaza.

Alcatraz - San Francisco, California, USA
Considering the number of prisoners housed here, and the island's history, it is not surprising that some people believe the prison to be haunted. Some have said that they heard clanging noises, screams, whistles, running footsteps, a man's voice, and even banjo music in the shower.
Cell 14-D was supposedly used for solitary confinement, and it is said that it stays cold even on hot days. However, it would seem that the building's construction and the island's geology could easily be responsible for that. Cell 12-D is also supposed to harbor a particularly active spirit.
It is said that some of the prisoners back to the 1800's complained about being attacked by ghosts. These pleas were reportedly ignored.
It is claimed that on at least one occasion, a prisoner sent to "The Hole" (solitary confinement in cells 9-D through 14-D) saw glowing eyes in the darkness. He was allegedly found strangled to death the next morning. The following day during a lineup, the guards counted one too many prisoners. The extra figure was the form of the deceased inmate who vanished as the prisoners and guards looked on.
