Prisons had once been thought of as just holding areas to punish people. In the late 1800s, a movement started that aspired to a higher ideal of reform, rather than punishment. Eastern State Penitentiary was built to launch that reformation in the American penal system. The prison's edifice is formidable and resembles a castle. This eventually became the most famous prison in the world. The prison ran for 142 years and today serves as a museum that offers both historical and ghost tours and hunts. Officers, inmates, staff and visitors have all reported haunting activity for decades at the prison. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Eastern State Penitentiary!
