In this spine-chilling episode, we dive deep into the dark history and paranormal lore surrounding the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once a state-of-the-art facility, Eastern State was home to harrowing punishments, leaving behind a legacy of suffering and death. This legacy has turned to haunting, with eerie shadow figures in Cellblock 6 to tormented spirits in the death row of Block 15. Eastern State is packed with paranormal activity!

We’ll discuss the hauntings tied to infamous inmates like Al Capone, who was terrorized by the spirit of a man he may have had a hand in murdering, and Pep the prison dog, whose ghost is said to still roam the hallways. Hear about the real-life encounters of visitors and staff, including chilling screams, vanishing apparitions, and ghostly faces appearing on cell walls. With its rich and disturbing history, it’s no wonder Eastern State has been a hot spot for paranormal investigations on shows like Ghost Hunters and Buzzfeed Unsolved.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of this historical penitentiary and the spirits that still walk its crumbling halls!
