The haunted halls of the Eastern State Penitentiary

The haunted halls of the Eastern State Penitentiary

Dust off your Ouija boards, because Cheryl and Nikki Druce are holding a seance to contact the lost souls of Eastern State Penitentiary. Built in the early 1800s, the unique prison was designed to make it’s inmates find God and repent for their sins… that was until overcrowding and riots resulted in horrific torture and brutal killings. But how did a plan to help troubled souls atone turn into one of the most violent prisons in the USA? Cheryl and Nikki are going to find out. Expect lots of Father, Son and House of Gucci, learn where Cheryl and Nikki will haunt as ghosts, and prepare yourself for spooky scary skeletons.

This episode contains graphic details of violence, torture, and murder, including mentions of suicide, and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
