Eastern State Penitentiary - Terror Behind the Walls!

NOTE: All images are from my last weeks day trip!

Last night we was [Gil, Jasmine, Le, Chuva, Tasha and Me] at the #1 Haunted House in America! Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary!

We gots our tickets online thru ticketmaster (Thanks Gil! Sana nilubos-lubos mo na din no! Hehehe… Tutal Ritz naman kayo eh.) Tickets are now on sale for a very-very-vey cheap price for as low as $23 per person including taxes! [Pucha ang yaman na naman ng Ciudad ng Philadelphia nito!] Magandang raket to pramis! I hope all those monies doesn’t end up in some others peoples pockets no! (Parang sa Pinas? ZTE at Fertilizer scams? Hahaha…) I hope not!

There were alot of people ha, their like kabute’s here and there no bigla na lang nagsusulputan sa dami! Maybe because, just like us - many people believe that Eastern State Penitentiary is haunted!

Among the shows to investigate or document the ghosts of Eastern State Penitentiary are MTV’s Fear, Haunted History, America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions, America’s Ghost Hunters, Night Visitors, Most Haunted (for a seven-hour live broadcast) and Ghost Hunters. It was also used as the setting of a mental hospital in the Terry Gilliam film, Twelve Monkeys. [TARAY!]

As an abandoned penitentiary that is reportedly haunted, it’s such a perfect fit for Eastern State Penitentiary to transform itself every year into a haunted Halloween attraction!

Philadelphia’s most haunted - Part 2

Continuation…

ESP is a former state prison in the United States. It is located on Fairmount Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just 5 blocks north of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Eastern State Penitentiary is such a experience! [O diva? For a day I experienced how it feels like a kakosa/bulaklak ng city jail/jailbird lol...]

But I want more than that! I wanted to be a berdugo! lols…

The prison stands today in a ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and a surprising, eerie beauty.

It’s vaulted, sky-lit cells held many of America’s most notorious criminals, including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and “Scarface” Al Capone.

Anong sinabi ng selda ni Romeo Jalosjos dito? Selda si Hubert Webb may sinabi kaya dito? O isali na din natin ang selda ni exconvict “daw” na si Claudio Tehankee Jr.

Ekkkkkk, may battle of the selda ba dito? Bwehehehe… Just being real yo! []D [] []\/[] []D my selda? HAHAHA!!!

The infamous gangster Al Capone spent eight months in this cell in 1929. The Philadelphia Daily Ledger published reports of his stay being quite luxurious in lieu of his fellow inmates.

Chicago’s most famous mob boss spent eight months at Eastern State in 1929-1930. Arrested for carrying a concealed, deadly weapon this was Capone’s first prison sentence.

His time in Eastern was spent in luxury compared to the other inmates; Capone had oriental rugs, a cabinet radio, free time, and access to the Deputy Warden’s phone. [Obviously!]
