Help vote Yuma Territorial Prison the Best Haunted Destination in America

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Territorial Prison is once again in the running for USA Today's "Best Haunted Destination in America" competition and they need the community's help.

This is the prison's fifth consecutive year of being recognized on the national stage in the top five. The prison once even held the number one seat.

They are calling on the community to vote online and help them reclaim the top spot. They say the competition is more than just about ghosts, it's about shining a national spotlight on Yuma and putting the city on the map.

"It draws tourism to the community. It also draws support for this treasured historic site, and that is our motivation that we are here to preserve the stories of the prison," said Yuma Territorial Prison manager Yanna Kruse.

You have a week left to cast your votes daily online on their website. Voting closes Monday September 22.
