Eastern State Penitentiary,
Conditions: 85 degrees and clear
We arrived at the penitentiary at
We went into the Hub to set up the equipment. Ronnie, Alissa, Wally and Mike worked on setting up the DVR and cameras, while Tim, Aaron and Audra did a quick baseline around the perimeter.
As Tim, Aaron and Audra were in cell block 9 across from Al Capone’s old cell, they experienced a light running up the cell block from the far end. As they were nearing the middle of the cell block on their way to check where the light could be coming from, they saw a shadow in the doorway. There was no answer when they called out to it. So they went to the end of the hall and outside. When they got there nobody was there and they found themselves surrounded by 30 ft high walls which meant that the light they had seen could not be headlights. When they got back inside Aaron experienced the feeling of being scratched on his back. When we checked him he had two sets of scratches on his back.
Tim and Audra were upstairs in cell block 7. They kept hearing clanging that sounded like cell doors slamming shut. It happened several times in the course of 20 minutes. Then as they were getting ready to go back down, Tim noticed what looked like a face peering out of one of the cell doors on the right. When they tried to coax it closer, Audra captured a picture of a bright orb moving toward them.
Ronnie somehow ended up alone in one of the cell blocks. As he was walking down the corridor, he experienced pebbles hitting him on the legs. Then he felt one hit him on the shoulder. That was when he decided to join another team.
Ronnie met up with Tim and Audra in cell block 4. As they were standing by a cell a large chunk of the plaster fell off the wall right near them. They moved further down the corridor and as Ronnie started talking plumes of smoke were coming out of his mouth indicating a temperature drop. Wally joined us and indicated that there was definitely a drop in temp right around Ronnie and that he could see a mist forming around us. Ronnie registered a .8 with his emf detector which is a very high electro magnetic reading right outside the last cell on the left. Wally did an evp session there. Tim did a dowsing session outside the cell and his dowsing rods were spinning wildly. The indications were that this was a prisoner who served between 15 and 20 years and died in this prison.
In cell block 2 there was a room that several team members heard noises emanating from. Pictures of this room were covered by a dark mist. It was later discovered that this roomed was situated on the back of death row.
