Ep 101. Moundsville Penitentiary

In Ghost Adventures season 1 episode 101, the team investigates the infamous Moundsville Penitentiary in West Virginia. The prison, which opened in 1867 and housed over 1,000 inmates, was known for its brutal violence and overcrowding. It's also rumored to be haunted by the spirits of former inmates who died within its walls.

As the team begins their investigation, they immediately feel a sense of unease within the prison. They hear strange noises, see mysterious shadows, and even feel physical sensations like cold spots and tingling. One of the team members, Jay, even claims to have been pushed by an unseen force.

The team splits up and explores different areas of the prison. Zak and Nick investigate the "Sugar Shack," a small building where inmates were punished with whippings and beatings. As they sit inside the shack, they hear strange noises and see a shadowy figure pass by them.

Aaron and Jay explore the prison's chapel, where they feel an intense energy. They use a spirit box to communicate with any spirits present, and are startled when they receive clear responses to their questions.

Throughout the investigation, the team experiences a variety of paranormal phenomena. They capture EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) of ghostly voices, see unexplained movements on their video cameras, and even witness the apparition of a former inmate.

The team concludes their investigation with a nighttime lockdown in the prison's most haunted area, the "North Hall." As they sit in darkness, they hear unexplained footsteps and voices, and even capture the image of a ghostly figure on their thermal imaging camera.

Overall, the team's investigation of Moundsville Penitentiary is one of their most intense and frightening experiences yet. The prison's violent history and the spirits of its former inmates continue to haunt the location, making it a truly terrifying place to visit.
