Eastern State Penitentiary- Season 2

The Eastern State Penitentiary is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This prison is 180 years old. They predict about 75,000 people were locked up here over time. They used solitary confinement to rehabilitate the prisoners. When they were moved, bags were placed over their heads to keep them in complete solitude. Al Capone was locked up in this prison. Guards would hear him constantly yelling "Go away" and "leave me alone". Al Capone was convinced he was being haunted by a man he killed in the St. Valentines Day Massacre. 

They captured an EVP that said, "I knew God". This is symbolic because Puritans believed that such solitary confinement in this prison would allow prisoners to re-connect with God. They also captured something or someone whispering, "Hi" to the guys. They also captured the classic, "Get out" EVP. They captured a few noises, such as screams, dragging, and knocks. But, this is the majority of the evidence they found.

There is a difference between residual spirits and intelligent spirits. A residual haunting is more like an impression made in time. It's like a constant playback of events that happened in the past. The actual spirits are often not even there, just their energy is. Screaming, dragging, and noises related to a time period and a building's story is all evidence of a residual haunting. Intellegent spirits are those who actually interact with us. They are actually there and aware of our presence, which is not true with residual spirits (if their spirits are there, they are not aware of us because they are stuck forever in a time warp). Intelligent spirits would be the ones that answer our questions on EVP's and sometimes have conversations through any communication device. They are also the ones who will attack us or make noises that are in direct correlation of what we are doing or saying in a spirit's presence. I am giving this information because it helps clear things up and give you a better understanding of what might be going on in their investigations. The times when they are not interacted with, but do capture different noises, is probably because they are not dealing with intelligent spirits, but residual ones. This lock down, in my opinion, was mostly a residual haunting. That is why they didn't come out with that intense evidence that is memorable. I'll do better at notifying you of these different hauntings.
