reflection on my project

I could of done better with picking my topic and getting more research on it but I went with my friends idea and went with it. But I did find out why ghost still are on this planet. Well they are a mutipul of reasones why ghost stay here. But in hinssite I should of picked a different topic that was easier then this.

Reflection on my finding paragraphs

My finding paragraphs could have been better and more lengthier but there was not enough  research on it. I did what I had to do on it and made it work.

Finding Paraghraph #3

Spirits are the most unnatural thing known to mankind because we still cannot figure out why they still are around. Some say God nor the Devil wants them and others say they have some unfinished busieness they have to attend to. Some spirits have strong spirital energy that sometimes make you cold or hot. Sometimes people will hear stuff and they are the only ones there. Some spirits want to be seen and some like to scared people.   

Finding Paraghraph #2

Spirits are all over the place. Ghost are where you least expected to show up when you are there beside them. Ghost can be  unpredictable because you do not know if the ghost is evil or nice. Spirits can do much harm to you and your family. It can also help your family out in some ways to. They try to direct you in the right pathway.

Finding Paragraph #1

Have sense something that you thought it was there but it was not? Well the people of the North West Mounted Police Trail has. The NWMP Trail has much ghost activities going on there. (Saskatchewan). The NWMP Trail has re-enactments around the trail. Ghost are the most super natural thing mankind has seen. There are more ghost sitings in the world then there are UFO sitings.  The famous prison Alcatraz is the most haunted place in the US. Alcatraz has some history behind it as well but the most impotent thing about it is its inmates with were Al' Capone, The bird man, and Machine Gun. people go there every day to get haunted and to get scared all the time. Why are people scared of what they cannot see? They get scared because people want to be the most powerful thing on this earth. Some people can see and hear them sometimes.

To the Sports Editor: Re ''The Spirits of Coogan's Bluff Haunt the Mets,'' Oct. 4: If Dave Anderson were able to arrange a meeting with the ghosts of the Polo Grounds, I would happily try to convince them that the current Manhattan borough president has banished the curse attributed to one of his predecessors, James J. Coogan.

quotes, summary, souce analyize,and citition #2

San Francisco has a storied history; from its culinary geniuses and popular artists to its acclaimed writers such as Jack Kerouac; from famed Alcatraz inmates Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly, to its devastating earthquakes; and from its diverse cultural mix, political protests and hippy heritage, to gay activism, there isn't a city in North America that embraces life in the same way. 

This quote tells you about the real people that go there as a prisoner. This came from a book call "Alcatraz Ghost Whisper in the Wind". The book is a first-person point of view. They are to really that bias. the persuasive techies they use are pathos, research, claim, and big names. There are no propaganda at all.

Quote, summary, souce analysis, and citation

There were, however, prisoners who decided not to wait for a transfer to another prison. Over the 29 years (1934-1963) that the Federal prison operated, 36 men (including two who tried to escape twice) were involved in 14 separate escape attempts. Twenty-three were caught, six were shot and killed during their escape, and two drowned. Two of the men who were caught were later executed in the gas chamber at the California State Prison at San Quentin for their role in the death of a correctional officer during the famous May 2-4, 1946, "Battle of Alcatraz" escape attempt.

I chose this because it tells you how many people try to escape. The propaganda they use is facts and info, the persuasive they use logos, claim and research. The reason why I chose this quote is because it shows you how many people try to escape Alcatraz and also how many people died trying to escape.

This link is about the ghost that haunts Alcatraz. The famous ghost that lives there is the ghost of Al' Capone. He haunts the place he died. They say you can hear the banjo that he played inside the cell he was in. The "Battle of Alcatraz" left a gruesome site to behold. Some of the spirits that were in that battle stayed on the earth to try and win there battle. They say you can hear the cries and the shoots of the soldiers that fought there and died.

This link is about The Great Escape of Alcatraz. 36 men tried to escape were involved in 14 separated attempts. 26 were caught, 6 were shot and killed during the escape, and two drowned. The two that drowned were the first ones to get out of the prison and survived until they got to the freezing water and try to swim 1.5 miles of ocean until they got to shore.

This link is about the history of Alcatraz. The link also describes the on what they do to the prisoners in detail. They had steel chains around their wrist and ankles. The prison was heavily guarded incase someone try to escape the inescapable prison well so they think. The guards host an "Alcatraz Fight" every Friday night. People form the mainland came to watch only if they had invitations. Some of the first inmates were Al' Capone, Doc Barker (the last surviving son from the famous Ma Barker Gang), George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Robert "Birdman of Alcatraz" Stroud, Floyd Hamilton (a gang member and driver for Bonnie and Clyde), and Alvin "Creepy" Karpis.

What I want to know?

Why do spirits want to help or hurt you when they are in your living? The reason why I chose this question is because everyone is haunted and every place is haunted. What are they doing here? I chose this question is because people do not know why there are here in the first place. Why are people afraid of ghosts? They are scared of what they do not know.  How do spirits stay on this world? I chose this question because people want to know why there are here in the first place. Why do spirits haunt people or places preferably prisons? I chose this question because I have a personal encounter with a ghost and I ask my girlfriend, Stormy, if she had any encounters with ghost and she did. Why are people afraid on what they cannot understand? People are scared of what they have no idea about because they want to be perfect in any way they can. These are some of the questions that I have for my topic.

What I know about this topic

The things I know about my topic is that Alcatraz was the worst jail ever when it was running. If you went there you would never get out of their. People have gotten raped, killed, hung, and abused in the jail. The spirits that haunt there are the prisoners that lived there and got hung; or worse. One of the spirits' names is Al’ Copon. He was one of the worst criminals you can ever have. He was hung and they say that his spirit is still there haunting that same place. Some say he will come after anyone who is in there with him.


Ghost are spirits that stay here because they have to do something, they are going to warn somebody; they are waiting for someone to die that was in there family. Ghost can nice or hostal if they want to be. The hostel ghosts are the ones who will try to kill you or do something bad to you. The friendlier ones warn you about stuff that will be coming in the near or far future. Spirits come to you looking like orbs, shadows; or a humanly figures.  

The story behind my topic choice

I choose the topic because Alcatraz, a cold, deadliest, harshest place you could have ever go to, was a uninscapable place that was cruel to there victims. They say they have spirits that haunt this prison. I was face to face to a ghost when I was in Florida on my dad’s birthday but I never told anyone about it until knows. I also like how Alcatraz was the only jail that no one could escape. It had concerted walls that were 5 stories tall. Only two guys escaped but died jumping into cold deadly water. The ghost that I saw was exactly like my dad's face and body. I was scared at first but then he said "Don't be afraid I am always with you" he also warned me about something that is coming to the near further. The warning was that every one in your time will become your enemies and then he said they will be your friends again.
