History & Paranormal Activity
Built in 1866 next to an ancient Adena burial mound, this prison was declared 'cruel and unusual' by the state supreme court. Ninety-four men were executed here — 9 by hanging, 85 in the electric chair. Visitors report a shadow man in the North Wagon Gate, a demon-like entity known as 'the Shadow' in the lower tunnels, and hundreds of documented EVPs.
