Ep 15. Old Licking County Jail

In season 9 episode 15 of Ghost Adventures, the team visits the Old Licking County Jail in Newark, Ohio, a notorious prison known for its violent past and tragic history. The jail was built in 1889 and served as a place of confinement for various types of criminals, including murderers, rapists, and bootleggers throughout its existence until it was closed in 1987. However, the spirits of the inmates and guards who suffered inside the jail are said to still haunt the building to this day.

As the team enters the jail, they are immediately struck by the eerie atmosphere and oppressive energy of the space. They begin their investigation in the maximum-security section of the jail, where the most dangerous criminals were housed. Here, they hear strange noises, including footsteps and banging, and witness doors opening and closing on their own.

The team then moves on to the cellblock area, where the prisoners were kept in cramped and inhumane conditions. Here, they hear disembodied voices and experience sudden temperature drops, as if the ghosts of those who suffered here are still present.

Next, the team investigates the execution chamber, where death row inmates were put to death by hanging. As they explore the room, they hear inexplicable noises and witness strange lights flickering on and off.

Finally, the team ends their investigation in the jail's basement, where they uncover evidence of torture devices and various surgical tools used for medical experimentation on the inmates. Here, they experience intense feelings of fear and dread, as if the spirits of the tortured prisoners are still lingering in the space.

Throughout the investigation, the team uses various pieces of equipment, including EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorders, EMF (electromagnetic field) detectors, and thermal imaging cameras, to capture evidence of paranormal activity. They also conduct interviews with former inmates and guards, as well as local historians, to gain a better understanding of the jail's dark history.

Ultimately, the team concludes their investigation with compelling evidence of paranormal activity, including EVP recordings of voices and sounds, as well as thermal imaging of unexplained temperature changes. The episode ends with the team feeling a profound sense of sadness and horror at the atrocities that took place within the walls of the Old Licking County Jail and a warning to viewers to never forget the tragic lives of those who were once confined within its walls.
