Ghost Hunters Classic season 1 episode 5 entitled "Eastern State Penitentiary" revolves around an investigation carried out by the TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) team at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.

The episode starts with the team discussing the history of the penitentiary which was built in 1829 and was in operation for 142 years before being abandoned. It was a radical design of its time, a Quaker-inspired facility that was built to keep prisoners in isolation allowing them to contemplate their sins and reform. However, the prison system was known for its cruel and inhumane treatment of the inmates, which resulted in mental deterioration and psychosis.

The team meets with the penitentiary's public relations representative, Sean Kelley, who describes his past experiences with the paranormal activity he has witnessed within the walls of this historic place. He talks about the ghostly apparitions, disembodied voices, shadow figures, and footsteps that have been heard inside the prison.

The team performs their investigation using an array of equipment including EMF detectors, thermal cameras, digital voice recorders, and night-vision cameras. They begin exploring the different areas of the prison, including the cell blocks, the punishment cells, and the hospital wing. They split into teams with Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson conducting an investigation in cell block 12, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango in cell block 6, and Donna Lacroix and Brian Harnois in the punishment cells.

Throughout the investigation, the team experiences many unexplainable events. In cell block 12, Jason and Grant hear a voice whispering in their ears which is later captured on audio. In cell block 6, Steve and Dave hear loud noises and footsteps coming from an empty cell which is later discovered to be the cell of a prisoner who died mysteriously. They also capture a figure on thermal camera which seems to vanish into thin air. In the punishment cells, Donna and Brian hear faint voices and footsteps. They also capture a shadow figure creeping around the cell.

The team concludes their investigation in the prison's hospital wing where they capture an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) that seems to be an intelligent response to one of their questions. At the end of the investigation, the team compiles the evidence they have collected and presents it to Sean Kelley, who is thrilled with the results.

Ghost Hunters Classic season 1 episode 5 is a spine-chilling investigation of one of the most haunted places in America. The TAPS team's use of their advanced equipment, coupled with their expertise in investigating paranormal activity, is both fascinating and thrilling. The episode is sure to keep viewers on edge as they experience the chills and thrills of an investigation that takes place in one of America's most infamous prisons.
