From "The History & Haunting of the Navajo County Courthouse" on the Legends of America web site:
It [the courthouse] is also home to a couple of resident ghosts! The most prominent spirit lurking about this historic building is none other than George Smiley, the one and only man ever hanged at the courthouse. After keeping his date with the noose in 1900, he has been seen wandering about the building and pacing up and down the stairs. Historical Society staff also blames this old ghost on doors that seemingly close of their own according, strange noises heard throughout the building, and objects that are mysteriously moved.
Another entity seen looking out of the windows is a woman that staff identifies as a former prisoner named "Mary.” According to the legend, Mary died inside one of the old jail cells while looking out a window and longing for her freedom.
