EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY

| What to expect: Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most

crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers.
Known for its grand architecture and strict

penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of
convicts. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held
many of America’s most notorious criminals,
including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and
Al Capone. Many people believe that Eastern
State Penitentiary is haunted. As early as the
1940s, officers and inmates reported mysterious
visions and eerie experiences in the ancient
prison. |
