The Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise, ID, is the site of the eighth episode of season one of the hit series Ghost Adventures. This historic prison has a dark past, having housed some of the most notorious criminals in the state, including several who were executed on the prison grounds.

Opening with a brief historical overview of the prison, the episode quickly dives into the investigation. Zak Bagans and his team begin by exploring the main cell block, which housed the most dangerous inmates. As they make their way through the corridors, they pick up on the eerie energy of the place, with Zak insisting that he can sense the presence of spirits around him.

The team sets up a number of different devices to try and capture paranormal activity, including a thermal imaging camera and an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recorder. As they move deeper into the prison, they begin to hear strange noises, including footsteps and unexplained banging sounds.

One of the highlights of the episode comes when the team investigates the "hanging room", where condemned prisoners were executed by hanging. As they enter the room, they immediately feel a sense of heaviness and apprehension. They set up a camera and begin to ask questions out loud, hoping to provoke a response from any spirits that might be present.

As the investigation continues, the team starts to pick up on a number of different ghostly phenomena, including cold spots, apparitions, and unexplained shadows. They also encounter a number of historical artifacts that are rumored to be haunted, including an old electric chair and a prisoner's uniform.

Despite encountering plenty of evidence of paranormal activity, the team remains skeptical, insisting that they need hard scientific data to confirm the existence of ghosts. However, by the end of the episode, it's clear that they have all been deeply affected by their experience at the prison, and there seems to be little doubt in their minds that the Old Idaho Penitentiary is indeed a haunted place.

Overall, this episode is a must-watch for fans of the Ghost Adventures series, as well as anyone interested in the paranormal. The team's investigation is both fascinating and spooky, and the historical background of the prison adds an extra layer of intrigue to the proceedings. Whether you're a believer in ghosts or not, there's no denying that this episode will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the mysteries of the afterlife.
