Eastern State Penitentiary is one of the top 10 haunted places in the world. It was an old prison, built in 1829. The prison shut down in the early 1900s because it wasn't humane and prisoners often escaped. The prison is notorious for looking like a castle. There are many reported confirmed hauntings at the prison from prior prisoners. This experience is observable in October, coined “Terror Behind the Walls.”

FACTS:This is Alcapone’s cell. He was a big robber back then who got caught in there.

Fact 2: it has remainder items and jewelry that prisoners left in the prison.

FACT 3: you can go in certain cells but some are creepy because of the music from radios prisoners had that still work.

I recommended this an 8.5 out of 10 because it's a good museum but a creepy place knowing ghosts might be there and prisoners were there.
