whoa..crazy pic Sept...very different.

Bebop...have you ever gone any where haunted before?
Have you heard of that one prison in PA?...I've seen so much creepy stuff about that prison. Hold on..looking for link.

It's Eastern State Penitentiary, if you look at the history it was one of the worse prisons. It basically was made to isolate prisoners in a very small cell for years on end with absolutly no socializing. A lot of men died there from sicknesses too...so much that it was odd.

Anyway, I don't know much but when ever I hear of this place it creeps me out. http://www.graveaddiction.com/esp.html

Eastern State Pen. is here in Philly. I have been there before... you can take audio guided tours and see how the prisioners lived, including Al Capone, whose cell is probably decorated better than most homes. I loved going on the tour... so interesting. There is even one part where they do an audio simulation of what it sounded like to have really been there when it was filled with prisoners. You get to go down to where the prisoners were kept who were waiting on death row, stand in the cells to see what it would be like in solitary confinement, hear the stories on the audio tour of some of the ex-prisoners who were housed there. There is also an original display of the various weapons that prisoners were able to construct over the years.

However, I do not believe in spirits or ghosts or haunted houses or anything like that. The place, of course, had a general "feeling" but that was more because of the emotion and imagery that it evoked for me. It is not haunted.
