Eastern State Penitentiary was once one of the costliest and most famous prisons in the world. Now it sits decaying — a remnant of Philadelphia’s past. Today, visitors can stroll its decrepit hallways and tour the cellblocks that were once home to high-profile criminals like Al Capone. Behind the thick stone walls, it’s hard not to feel the haunted undertones lurking with every step. Since the 1940s, visions and unexplained phenomena at the prison have attracted dozens of paranormal investigators, who nearly always report back with extensive evidence of the ghosts that live within. If you want to escape the mysterious wails and whispers inside, step into the courtyard for a breath of fresh air. Surrounded by Philadelphia’s skyscrapers towering just outside the prison’s borders, you’re reminded of how much the city has transformed since Eastern State opened its doors in 1829.
