'Idaho's Jack the Ripper.' Some believe he still haunts what is known as 5 House, where the prison's gallows were located. Between 18, the Boise prison served as a temporary home to more than 13,000 prisoners-including Raymond Allen Snowden, a.k.a. When it comes to abandoned buildings, penitentiaries might rank only slightly behind psychiatric hospitals in creep factor-and the Old Idaho Penitentiary, with its built-in gallows and death row, may be one of the country's creepiest. Rowe's ghost has been spotted on the beach, on the hotel's fifth floor and in the lobby, and in the garden, where he is sometimes seen holding the hand of a woman believed to be Lucinda. It was completed in 1928 and features an exact replica of the fountain where the lovebirds spent happier times.

'I wait for you by our fountain … to share our timeless love, our destiny is time.' According to legend, Lucinda died of a broken heart Rowe, who said he would never love anyone else, would go on to build his hotel. Only one letter of Lucinda's ever reached Rowe. He wrote her faithfully, but his letters were returned unopened. But Lucinda's parents didn't approve of their romance and took her back to Spain. They regularly met at a fountain in the city and made plans to sail to America and be married. Rowe had attended the opera during his time as a student in London, and he fell head over heels for its star, a Spanish aristocrat named Lucinda. Pete Beach, Florida, was built by Thomas Rowe and named for a character in the opera Maritana. Ebyabe, Wikimedia Commons // CC BY SA 3.0 A photo of the exterior of the Don CeSar Hotel in Florida.
