      Missouri State Prison known as The Walls or The Bloody 47. I served 25 years there from 1971 thru 1996. If it is investigated have someone with you who served at least 10 years there.

    The Old Super-Max in Delaware is thought to be haunted or at least exude super creepy energy. They even built new gallows outside of it for the last hanging in America (of Billy Bailey). Apparently the set-up was so poorly made and under-staffed that inmates would regularly beat the crap out of each other with mop wringers and stuff.
