Sentence to life: Pep The Cat-Murdering Dog

Eastern State Penitentiary was famous not only for being a massive, expensive structure that pledged to rehabilitate lawbreakers through “confinement in solitude with labor,” it was famous for the criminals it held within its walls.

Al Capone, Willie Sutton and Pep the Cat-Murdering Dog were among its more notorious inmates.

Philadelphia’s most haunted - Part 3

Continuation…

Guantanamo style?

There are certain parts of ESP that I did not see/was not allowed to get in while on my day tour last week - like the laundry room, kitchen, synagogue, operating room etc-etc-etc. Cause ako ay isang pangkaraniwang tao lamang? Those areas can be accessed if you are one ritz kid member of it’s chorvaley and who donates thousands and thousands of Dinars! I want unlimited pass and access to other facility of ESP as well!!! Bukas na bukas din mag-sign up ako as a member!

Oh yeah, on the image above, I wasn’t allowed on this side too! But some kid called me and showed me this through a small hole (glory hole? bwahahah…)

On our Terror Behind the Walls dramah the other day, we walked past through this, and it is really scary!!! We walked through a few cellblocks - just a few and I think we walk through the death row as well… I felt that really cold bars - FREAKY innit?

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

I highly recommend that if you ever visit Philadelphia, as odd as it sounds, Eastern State Penitentiary is a must place to visit! [Worth it ang $12 plus if you are one senior-senioran citizen like me eh di $8 na lang!]
