Eastern State Penitentiary (known as EPA) served as a prison and was operational from 1829 until 1971. Noteable criminals such as Al Capone and Willie Sutton were held here. The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic Landmark, which is now open to the public as a museum.
It is reputed to be a very haunted location, with the focus of the phenomena reported in Cellblocks #4 and #12. Reports of such occurences date back to the 1940's.
Visual effects include shadowy figures. Audible effects reported include crying and footsteps. Others have reported problems breathing, feelings of anxiety and fear, as well as that of being watched.
Some people have claimed to have obtained photographic anomalies here.
