Go to prison this Halloween
There is less than a week left in the month of October, but there is still plenty of time to get yourself scared beyond your worst nightmare. The Philadelphia area has all kinds of haunted attractions this time of year, but one of them stands out above the rest. Eastern State Penitentiary, located on Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, puts together a tour every year called Terror Behind the Walls. This place is considered one of the most historic prisons in America. It was operational from 1829 and 1971, and it’s no surprise that many consider it to be haunted. The place looks scary even during the day, and in fact you can take a daytime tour at the prison (year round). But the Halloween attraction is the talk of the town every year. ESP has been featured on several TV shows, including the MTV ghost show “Fear”. Below is a feature about Terror Behind the Walls from a show on the Travel Channel.
