Welcome to our new weekly feature ✨#HauntedHotSpot✨, where we take a deeper look at some of the most famous (and famously terrifying) sites in the world. ⁠
⁠
This week’s pick: Ohio State Reformatory ⁠
⁠
With its imposing architecture, it’s no surprise that this Mansfield prison was chosen as the filming location for The Shawshank Redemption and several other films. Opened in 1896, the Ohio State Reformatory is home to the world’s tallest freestanding steel cell block at six stories high. Many of the cells were only meant to hold one prisoner at a time, but overcrowded conditions led to violence and disease, and the prison eventually closed. Today, ghost hunts and a special Escape from Blood Prison Halloween event are available on the property, and visitors have reported seeing shadowy figures, hearing unexplained footsteps and even being grabbed or scratched. ⁠
