Located in Mansfield, Ohio, this prison was used in Shawshank Redemption, Air Force One, Tango and Cash, and many other movies and rock videos. I was on my way to Cedar Point and figured I would visit this place once and for all. ;) I have been wanting to tour the prison ever since I heard that it was popular with ghost hunters. :) They host overnight ghost hunts as well as 2-hour ghost walks, which have already sold out for the 2010 season. If you want to do one of these you have to book SUPER early. I definitely want to do an overnight thing eventually!
This was definitely one of the coolest and creepiest things I have ever seen. I didn't have any "encounters" with the paranormal but some of my pics have those questionable "orbs" in them. I used several different settings in my camera as you can see. NONE of these pics have been altered in ANY WAY. No lightening. No cropping. Nothing. I just uploaded them as is.

I am glad I finally got to see this place! Enjoy the pics!
