Ep 6. Eastern State Penitentiary

Eastern State Penitentiary is the sixth episode in the second season of Ghost Adventures. This episode takes the audience to the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The penitentiary was operational from 1829 until 1971 and was known for its revolutionary approach to inmate rehabilitation. It was the first true penitentiary, designed to inspire penitence in prisoners through isolation in a prison cell.

The team, consisting of lead investigator Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, and Nick Groff, embark on their investigation of the penitentiary with the aim of capturing evidence of paranormal activity. They are joined by a local historian, who provides the team with information about the penitentiary and its infamous inmates.

As soon as the team arrives, they feel the eerie atmosphere of the prison. They start their investigation by exploring the prison cells. The cells are small and narrow, with no natural light. The team members are struck by the harsh conditions that the prisoners had to endure. The cells were designed to break down the spirit of the prisoners and, as they soon discover, some prisoners were driven to the brink of insanity.

As they continue their investigation, the team members begin to feel a sense of unease. They hear strange noises and feel cold spots in certain areas. They also capture evidence of unexplained EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) and witness shadows moving in the corners of their eyes. One particular area that they investigate is Cellblock 12, where the team members feel a very strong presence. They also investigate the punishment cells, which were used to punish inmates who refused to conform to the prison rules. The punishment cells were pitch black, and the team tries to imagine how horrifying it would have been for a prisoner to spend time in one.

The team decides to conduct a lockdown in the prison to try and capture more evidence. They set up cameras and audio recording devices in the areas where they have experienced paranormal activity. As the night progresses, they continue to hear strange noises and capture even more evidence of unexplained events. One of the most compelling pieces of evidence that they capture is a ghostly apparition, which appears to be walking down the corridor.

As the investigation comes to a close, the team members reflect on what they have experienced. They are convinced that there is paranormal activity at the Eastern State Penitentiary, and they have captured several pieces of evidence to support their claims. They also have a newfound appreciation for what the prisoners had to endure during their time in the penitentiary.

Overall, the Eastern State Penitentiary episode in season 2 of Ghost Adventures is a chilling and fascinating look into one of America's most infamous prisons. The team's investigation of the penitentiary is thorough, and they capture several pieces of compelling evidence of paranormal activity. The episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in the paranormal, history, or true crime.
