Greetings everyone

Eastern State Penitentiary is one of my favorite places on earth. I have been their multiple times. You should check out during their Terror Behind the Walls event, which starts at the end of September and goes to Halloween. It's a blast. I go every year and I plan to kick off October with another trip to ESP.

While I was in grad school I wrote letters to an elderly Pennsylvania inmate who spent about 8 years as an inmate in Eastern State in the late 60s and early 70s just before it closed for good.

If your a horror lover you should definitely check out Eastern State even for a regular day tour. It'll blow you away.

That's cool! Do u have his letters? Can u recall what was talked about?

I did the Terror Behind the Walls event. At the time, they made us wear hard hats and sign a waiver saying if anything happened to us we wouldn't sue. It sounds like they are doing major preserving of the building now. Did u see the carvings from the inmates, the notes they wrote on desks and chairs? I remember that being so chilling. Ghost Adventures did an awesome job shooting this place - if u catch that episode, its worth the watch.

Sorry for hijacking your welcome thread King! You got us all fired up!
