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.

Yeah, that's dirt on the lens.

Yeah, that's dirt on the lens.

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.
