SIERRA CONSERVATION CENTER – NEAR FARMINGTON
The Sierra Conservation Center, 5100 Obyymes Ferry Road – Jamestown, CA is near Farmington and there has been reports of haunting activity in this prison. As a paranormal investigator, I have learned that paranormal activity is imminent when you are investigating hospitals, jails, asylums and prisons. The reason being is there is always death found in these institutions making these places haunted. In jails and prisons there is always murders, suicides, accidents. Sierra Conservation Center was open in 1965 and houses 4,206 inmates. There has even been a severe riot at this prison. As of 2010, there has only been one suicide. The prison is right next to the roadway. A motorist claims to have seen a Hispanic man in a blue outfit walk along side the road. He pulled his car over, several yards away from the man and was about to call into 911 that there was an escaped prisoner when all of a sudden the Hispanic man in the blue outfit vanished in front of his very eyes. Could it be the suicide victim from this prison or could it be someone else that has died at this prison? GHOST IDENTIFIED: SCC BLUE MAN.
