When Cuba opened its doors for their unwanted citizens to leave, thousands of mental patients and criminals became permanent residents of Fort Chaffee. There were constant fights and stabbings on the grounds of what became a prison for refugees. This turmoil eventually escalated into a full-scale riot.
Fort Chaffee has also been home to a few famous, and infamous, individuals: Both John Lennon's murderer and Elvis Presley once called the complex home. With over 30,000 acres and a plenty of history, the Ghost Adventures crew definitely has their work cut-out for them.
