What do you think about this?
Eastern State Penitentiary opened its doors in Philadelphia in 1829. It was built on a simple, brutal idea. Total isolation. Prisoners lived alone in stone cells, hoods over their heads when they were moved, never allowed to see or speak to another soul. The men who designed it believed the silence would force a criminal back toward God. Many of them it simply broke.
In 1929, Al Capone arrived. His cell was furnished with fine rugs, a writing desk, and a cabinet radio. But the comfort did not save him. Guards reported that the most feared gangster in America screamed in the night, begging someone named Jimmy to leave him alone. Jimmy is believed to be James Clark, one of the men gunned down on Capone’s orders in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre that same year.
The prison closed in 1971 and sat abandoned for decades. Then the reports started. Footsteps in empty corridors. A shadowy figure that paranormal teams have caught moving through Cell Block 12. Faces in the cell doorways. Locked rooms where the temperature drops without reason.
