My girlfriend and I took 2 tours of the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA. We captured some really amazing pics, so I thought I'd post em'. Enjoy!

nice pics!

I'm somewhat fascinated by prisons but never got the chance to kinda tour one. 🙁

Cool if im not mistaken Ghost Hunters went there and caught a ghost on film. Shadow like figure who seems to zip around in 1 hall of the place. Fact or Fiction who knows? They also dont like Orbs or dust particles caught during the flash of the camera and I notice you have some.🙂

Well according to some lesser shows I have seen those are Orbs,Ghosts and Dead Uncle Fred.😀 Dont tell anyone about the dust please.

I wouldn't go into a closed down penitentiary to save my life. Call it superstition, but people can sense evil, and prisons just reek it.

Looks like a set for a horror film.

I've been there a couple times, it's gotten kind of bad over the past couple of years though

So is that a barber's chair or the electric chair? 😕 😱

Are you allowed to just tour disused prisons like that? Seems like a bizarre tourist attraction.

 

[Aperture]

I believe they do have scheduled tours.

Awesome pictures though, a bit disturbing however.😱

Do you know the last time it was still used?

<edit> After a quick trip to their website, I see it was closed in 1970. </edit>

LOL! It's a barber's chair.

There's alot of areas of the prison they won't let you tour, because their not up to code.
