Ep 3. The Terrors of Yuma Territorial Prison

The Terrors of Yuma Territorial Prison is the third episode of the fifth season of BuzzFeed Unsolved: Supernatural. In this episode, hosts Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej delve into the dark history of the Yuma Territorial Prison in Arizona, which operated from 1876 to 1909.

The episode begins with the hosts interviewing a local historian who gives them a brief history of the prison. The prison was notorious for its harsh conditions, extreme temperatures, and violent inmates. It is said to be haunted by the spirits of former prisoners who died under these conditions.

Ryan and Shane then explore the prison at night, equipped with their camera and recording equipment, in search of any paranormal activity. They start their investigation by walking around the cells and corridors of the prison. They are immediately struck by the eerie atmosphere, and Shane begins to feel uneasy.

As they continue their investigation, they hear strange noises, like footsteps and whispers. They also capture some unexplained sounds on their audio recorder. They then decide to conduct an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) session in one of the cells. During the session, they ask questions to the supposed spirits of former inmates, hoping to capture their responses on the audio recorder.

As they wrap up their investigation, Ryan and Shane go over their evidence to see if they captured anything paranormal. They review the audio recordings and footage from their camera to see if they can find any conclusive evidence. While they do not find anything definitive, they remain open-minded about the possibility of paranormal activity at the prison.

In the second part of the episode, the hosts interview a psychic medium who specializes in communicating with spirits. She visits the prison in hopes of connecting with any spirits that may be present. The psychic medium describes feeling a deep sense of sorrow and pain within the prison walls. She senses the spirits of several former inmates who remain trapped in the prison.

The psychic medium then conducts a séance with Ryan and Shane to try and connect with the spirits. During the séance, the psychic medium channels the spirits and relays messages from them. Ryan and Shane are skeptical of the séance, but the psychic medium's words do seem to hit close to home for the two hosts.

The episode ends with Ryan and Shane discussing their experience at the prison. They conclude that while they did not capture any conclusive evidence of paranormal activity, the prison's history and reported hauntings cannot be ignored. They wonder if the spirits of former inmates remain trapped within the prison walls, and if their sorrowful energy continues to linger to this day.
