Thanks for the great story Cam. I've yet to watch the video, so I have no idea what it is (YouTube blocked at work, WTF?) I'll have to watch it tonight on my own dime 
Looks like it's all true, here's an except from the website- from the journal of a jailer Thomas Dagg:
March 25, 1863: One of my worst nightmares was realized three days ago. Couldn’t write about it ‘til now, I was in such a state of shock and disgust.
Had a lunatic in here, went by the name of Ken Ruzic – and I mean a verifiable insane person awaiting transfer to an asylum – that just went berserk in his cell after lockdown. He started ripping his bedding (that alone would normally get you the strap and a few nights in the dark cell), shouting, cussing, screaming incoherently, and banging his water dipper against the bars.
We’d already been told to just let him get this sort of thing out of his system – since he was in here for just being crazy, and not for committing any crime, we’ve been trying to cut him a little slack (he’s also, apparently, the son of someone the governor knows).
But I guess due to our lack of response, he decided to up the ante: by smearing the contents of his night bucket all over the walls of his cell (did I mention he was in one of my cellblocks?). So of course at that point, I had to get him out of there – my plan was to bring him straight to the hospital and get him drugged into oblivion, or into a straightjacket, or something.
I opened up the cell feeling a little nervous (lunatics are not my specialty), and this now faeces covered maniac just threw himself on me!
Worst thing is…I think he was meaning to hug me for letting him out of there, but…oh God it was disgusting. I can still smell it, just thinking about it.

What's a Ken Rucksack? Is it that 1981-reissue heavyweight bag REI makes?

I spent a couple hours with Cammo on Saturday, he assured me that he has a story for Halloween - he also assured me that his ghost stories are all true.
PS - Cam can cook up a mean lunch of Spam Musubi and Kalua Pork

He should've started posting it about 3 weeks ago.

So recognizing that the stories are a gift to TC, I am wondering 'Is there going to be a story this year?' No pressure, but just wondering. Cause they're kinda a special treat!

Cammo,
Is your schedule still too intensely busy to allow you to favor us with a spooky story - or two (I'm greedy and you owe us one from last year) - before Halloween?
Suspensefully yours,
LL

Oh, well, maybe next year.
Meanwhile, there's this creepy story about late 19th century killer, Dr. H.H. Holmes, who I'd never heard of, till very recently.
Here's a documentary - H.H. Holmes: Americas First Serial Killer - complete with ominous music and narration, to watch in a dark room.
Happy Halloween!

Another spooky story, Cammo? Or, anyone else, for that matter?
A Halloween bump, for anyone who likes creepy stories, and has missed this thread.
(It's been long enough that I could probably go back and re-read this thread, without remembering too much.)
