You will have access to the Gas Chamber, A-Hall and the Dungeon, Housing Unit 3 gen. pop, Death Row, and 3-D, and of course, the Women's Block.
The logistics behind this experience were challenging because we wanted to be mindful and ensure that everyone receives fair time in each location within MSP - and with the objects.
This is it ! Get Haunted and NESPR bringing it to one of Get Haunted's favorite locations .. Missouri State Penitentiary!
Brief History - The Missouri State Penitentiary, the oldest operating prison west of the Mississippi, opened its doors in 1836 and was finally shut down in 2004. With 168 years of history, it certainly had its share of executions, murders, escapes and riots.
From 1937 to 1989, a total of 40 inmates were executed in the gas chamber, 39 men and 1 woman. Over time, many serious assaults took place, which resulted in the nickname “the bloodiest 47 acres in America”. The early years saw many escapes, partly due to an unsecure perimeter. Escape attempts continued throughout the 1900s and while a few made it, many did not.
The Penitentiary made national headlines in 1954 when a violent riot broke out within its walls. Nearly 2,500 inmates were running loose, starting fires, and creating a nightmare of chaos that lasted almost 14 hours.
Paranormal Activity – With its long and vicious past, is it any wonder that the activity experienced here is nothing short of incredible. Shadow figures, apparitions, and being touched, both physically and emotionally have been reported within this massive location. Loud bangs and footsteps have been heard and the odors of smoke and body odor from unseen sources have also occurred. The question that remains is .. Are you brave enough to face these spirits with us?
