Ghost Adventures Recap: Eastern State Penitentiary

Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, PA

This 180 year old building in known as one of the most haunted places in the world. It was built in 1829, with about 75,000 prisoners housed there. The whole prison was one big solitary consignment, with no communication between the prisoners with guards and other prisoners. In cell block 4 a witness said that she felt very sad, heard voices and felt a cold chill. There were plenty murders and at least two were officers. One was clubbed to death in a solitary yard by a prisoner. In the 1990’s, a locksmith saw a ghost in the yard where the officer was murdered. The hospital is where many prisoners died of tuberculoses and other diseases, with dozens and dozens of deaths. They kept a record in the “death book”, which goes as back as far as 1830. In the book Zak read where there were many suicides, one by cutting his throat, and many by hanging. In 1859 one even died of masturbation (I don’t think I will touch that). In Cellblock 12 is where phantom footsteps, loud voices, and yelling like someone was in pain can be heard. The iron gag and the mad chair were used as a very cruel forms of torture. Willie Sutton, who escaped in 1945, got as far as the sidewalk and was captured. His spirit has been seen and felt in those cold stone walls. Al Capone was also there and had a large cell with many amenities. He claimed the he was being haunted by the ghost of Jimmy Clark from the massacre. He was heard yelling “go away”, and “leave me alone” to nothing in the room. He said it was Jimmy. Zak then heard a noise while in Capone’s cell and asked if it was Jimmy? In the infirmary of Cellblock 12, a witness felt her bottom get hit hard and was pushed by unseen forces. In the rotunda, which is the center point of the prison, you can see down each cellblock just standing in one place. In this area an apparition of a man was seen. In another cellblock, a witness who was yelling profanities at the spirits got pushed out of the cell. Others have reported being pushed while in the corridors, and others say that they heard voices near death row, with one loudly saying 'get out'. Zak, Aaron and Nick were told that if they taunted the spirits they just might get some action because the spirits don’t like it. This is just what Zak and the boys love doing.

LOCK DOWN AND INVESTIGATION: After they are locked in, they walk through the yard, check out the guard tower and end up in the rotunda deciding where to start. After figuring out where to set up the static night vision cameras, they start off on the corridor of Cellblock 12. As they were looking in the cells and taunting the ghosts, Zak picks up an unexplained noise on his camera in one of the cells. Nick and Zak go in that cell and shut the door to see if they can get more noises. Zak asked, “Are you in here for murder” and Aaron quickly heard footprints of someone walking up to him in the corridor. Zak then got a sudden spike in the EMF device; the EVP captured "I knew God....God". They wondered if the spirit was referring to the skylights above the cell. They all heard a voice and captured it saying "hungry”. They decided to set up a static night vision camera in that cellblock and leave the area. That camera captured a voice saying "hi" right after they left. Now in Cellblock 2, Zak felt a weird energy field and they all heard a noise. He pointed in a cell where it came from and found 'the mad chair'. Zak went under the metal bar and because it was pitch black, scraped his back on it. He put recorders in the cell, and shortly afterwards Nick heard an eerie sound in the hallway. He then saw or heard the sound of a cell door open. Another unexplained sound was captured by Nick who is in the hallway. As Zak sat in the mad chair they experienced all kinds of voices even one that said "get out”. Now they pulled out the infrared cameras and started snapping pictures. Aaron sees a shadow at the end of the cellblock but the camera did not pick it up. They walked out to the yard and heard knocking from the inside a room. They found an open door that lead to some coffins. Zak asked for a noise and they got knocking reply. He asked who is making noise but got no further response so they moved on. Back outside on one of the photos the infrared camera took, they caught a bright lit up doorway with a weird mist. This was very strange because there were no lights on in the place at all. They decide to split up with Zak investigating in Al Capone's cell, Aaron in the infirmary, and Nick in the solitary yard where the guard was murdered and Cellblock 4. Aaron gets action first and hears a voice. Then Nick captured on his recorder a voice saying 'Nick'. Zak is now taunting Capone and Jimmy’s spirits and hears an unexplained sound. Aaron is now freezing cold and is hearing footsteps passing up and down and captured them his camera. Nick again captures a voice saying 'Nick" and this time I was able to make it out. Right after he left, they captured a scream, and then the camera was drained of its battery. After Zak left Capone’s cell, the camera caught what sounded like a man shouting. Aaron keeps hearing banging and decides that it was time to leave the infirmary.

Many ghost hunting teams have investigated this place, Ghost Hunters as well, and have had astounding evidence captured. The Ghost Adventures caught some interesting voices and noises that can’t be explained.

Ghost Hunter International Recap: Wicklow's Gaol

Wicklow’s Gaol, Wicklow, Ireland (Barry's homeland)

We begin the season 2 premiere and are joined by the GHI investigating team of Robb, Dustin, Barry, Brandy, Joe, and a new investigator, Ashley Godwin. Ashley is from Florida and joined the Florida TAPS team, a few years back. She met Robb there and investigated with that team for a couple of years. She is big on the scientific side of things, and thinks the physics can explain lots of things that people think are paranormal, but there are things out there that even physics can't even explain. When she was 3 years old her Grandmother bought a house in Orlando Florida which was haunted. They experienced banging on doors, the sound of dishes being thrown all around in the kitchen, and voices in the house. These experiences are what sparked her interests in the paranormal, and every since then, have been hooked on checking out abandoned houses to see if she could find anything paranormal.

The Wicklow’s Gaol was first constructed in 1702 and the conditions were absolutely horrendous. During the time of the great famine, the population of the prison was 780 prisoners and there were 17 people per cell. The activity is anywhere from people being pushed, touched, seeing blood on the floor, lots and lots of shadow activity with the claims being spread throughout the jail. Wicklow was completely shut down in 1924 and is now a museum, Marie, who is the Wicklow Gaol curator and their guide, told Robb, Dustin and Barry, that she had experiences there too. She first takes them to the original gates from 1702, which many prisoners referred to as “the gates of hell”. They were called that because once going through them, there was no hope of coming back alive. Now it’s down the narrow stairs to the school room where children, men, and women were all taught in there. The children were there because that is where they were born. A couple from Glasgow with their young child were touring the place and the boy told his parents that he saw a young child in rags. Several other visitors to the jail said that they witnessed the same thing. Now it’s to the dungeon where solitary confinement cell is located. Once the prisoners were put in there, they had no food, or visitors. A story is told that a man was brought down there that was old and sick and was found dead on the floor. They simply forgot about him. Marie said that she feels sadness in that place more than anywhere else in the building. Next they head upstairs to the main cell block where there are three separate levels. An eyewitness said that she hates the top area because when she is up there, she can feel the presence of the people that were there and it feels like someone is following her around. While on the main floor of the cell block, Marie saw her manager on the top level. He started coming down the stairs and a mist came straight down behind him, took form, and it followed him as he walked towards her. She asked several of the staff to come in and asked, “What do you see”, and they said a mist. As he got to her and asked what was wrong, she said look behind you. He said “I won't” and walked past not remembering what he wanted to ask her. Cell 1 is where many visitors have witnessed blood all over the floor. From 1702 to 1924 there were lots of tortures at the jail. A young man that was so badly beaten that you could see his ribs and had no where else to sleep but the floor. This is why there was so much blood on the floor. Cell 5 is known as the haunted cell where witnesses have reported a strange smell like rotting flesh, felt coldness, and seen a light forming. Cell 12 is where a man and woman visiting saw the woman all of a sudden faint. She said that she couldn't breathe and that it felt like she was being choked. The story goes that a man held in that cell, was hanged. In the attic is where the church was located. An apparition of a man poorly dressed has been seen by many people.

INVESTIGATION: Along with the full spectrum camera, they are now using a full spectrum DVR camera. While setting up on the 2nd floor catwalk, Ashley felt someone tug on her pants. The investigation starts with Dustin and Robb in room 31 where a cold breeze was felt. Using the thermal camera, they found no draft or explanation for it. Robb kept seeing something on the main cell floor while they are on the 3rd floor catwalk. They are hearing all kinds of noises throughout the prison’s main cell block. Dustin is now in that area with Barry and Ashley. He decides to head down to solitary but before he leaves they heard lots of noises from the upper level, almost like someone was walking up there. Barry sets up devices in various parts of the area and tries to talk the spirits into coming out. Shortly afterwards he sees something while Ashley's chest starts hurting and she felt her right ear clogging up. They kept hearing a banging noise and thought it was Dustin, but camera showed that he was sitting still. Dustin thought it was them making the noise which sounded like a door banging. Dustin sat on the floor in solitary confinement asking questions with EMF, thermal camera, and recording devices all working. During that time, he and the tech guy heard a male voice, much muffled, almost like a growling sound. Now we see Brandy in the church alone. She kept seeing a light above her head, and then saw some type of form above her. Robb and Joe investigate Cell 12, doing an EVP session. They kept hearing sounds like cell doors while Robb taunted Billy, a prisoner that occupied the cell at one time and could still be seen there. He heard what sounded like a male voice saying "out". Joe and Robb heard a voice or sound, and all kinds of noises all over. Robb heads up to the second floor catwalk, and heard a noise like someone was moving around up there. Robb goes to investigate the noises like someone was walking around, or shuffling all around them. He doesn’t see anything so he heads back down to where Joe was. Now we are in Cell 1 with Ashley and Brandy, where they are experiences noises in the corridors. Brandy thought she saw a bright light on the second level, so they head up there and saw movement. As they were walking down the corridor to investigate, Brandy felt a tug on her hand that was holding the recorder. In the school room with Dustin and Barry, they experienced a strange feeling while standing in the room. While Barry was asking questions of the spirits, Dustin felt the candy in his pocket move and heard the wrapper crinkle. It was almost like someone, maybe the ghost child known to haunt that area, was reaching in his pocket to grab the sweets.

RESULTS: While Joe and Robb were on main level of the jail, they caught a woman's voice or whisper which sounded like "rights" but it was hard to tell; while Dustin was in solitary, he caught the growl on his recorder that he and the tech heard; when Barry and Dustin were in the school room, they caught a child's voice on a camera; and caught on their new camera pointing at the main floor was a strange small light where a woman's ghost has been seen; also on the main floor, the camera caught a very strange light which came and gone so quickly. Marie thinks it was the mist she saw and got weepy. Robb feels that the place is definitely haunted.

See you next week for another episode of Ghost Hunters International.
