ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when a prison built to save souls becomes one of America's most notorious haunted landmarks?
This week on That's Disturbing, Gayle takes you inside Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary, a massive Gothic prison that opened in 1829 and became infamous for its system of solitary confinement.
From Charles Dickens's condemnation of the prison to Al Capone's unusual accommodations, Eastern State's documented history is disturbing enough. But visitors also report disembodied laughter, shadowy figures, mysterious footsteps, and unexplained voices coming from abandoned cellblocks.
Are the spirits of former prisoners still wandering the corridors, or are these stories simply echoes of a deeply troubled past?
Join Gayle as she explores the history, legends, and alleged hauntings of one of America's most unsettling historic prisons.
