Named for Admiral David Glassgow Farragut, a Civil War Naval Hero, Farragut, Idaho
welcomed its first Naval recruits on 17 September 1942.
From then until 10 March 1945 when the last class graduated, Farragut was the
second-largest U. S. Naval training station in the world. During the 30 months it was
operational, Farragut trained 293,381 recruits.
22 states sent Naval recruits to Farragut. They were California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
Massachusetts and Michigan.
Like so many haunted places, the truth behind the legend can be harder to find than the
ghosts themselves. The proliferation of so many "haunted directories" that are quick
to post a story but seldom bother to check their sources doesn't help.
We CAN confirm one suicide at the facility and thats really about it.
I spent the latter part of the summer of '05 as a consultant for the museum's ghost tour,
and I heard two different versions of "the Suicide Story" none of which you will find on any
of these "directories". Additionally, none of the staff ever reported (to me anyway) seeing,
"balding man who might have been in some kind of uniform" as reported on several sites.
Another "fact" that i can put to rest is that the cells still exist, "bars and all". The cells are
there but the bars were removed decades ago.
Long story short...Be careful what you read online.
Except here! =)
