As the search for America's most terrifying places continues, Volume 4 of Most Terrifying Places in America uncovers some of the spookiest and most bone-chilling locations yet. From haunted theaters and prisons to abandoned asylums and cursed roads, this episode promises to take viewers on a journey through some of the most infamous paranormal hotspots in the country.

First up is the Stanley Hotel, the inspiration behind Stephen King's The Shining. Located in Estes Park, Colorado, this historic property has been rumored to be haunted for over a century. Guest rooms have been known to shake and doors to close on their own, while the sounds of ghostly children playing in the hallways has been reported time and again.

Next, the show takes viewers to the Ohio State Reformatory, a massive prison that housed some of the most notorious criminals in the state's history. Today, the crumbling building is said to be one of the most haunted places in America, with reports of cold spots, apparitions, and even ghostly whispers in the dead of night.

Moving on from prisons to hospitals, the episode then heads to the Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania. Once a state-funded facility for the developmentally disabled, Pennhurst was closed down in the 1980s after reports of rampant abuse and neglect. Today, the decaying campus is said to be home to countless spirits who still linger on the grounds, unable to move on.

But the most terrifying location of all may be the Phantom Killer's Sacremento House, where guests have reported being terrorized by a vengeful spirit who only appears at night. The story goes that the Phantom Killer, also known as the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, was a man who terrorized a small town in Illinois in the 1940s. His spirit is believed to have followed a family who purchased his old home in Sacremento, California, where he continues to torment them to this day.

Finally, the episode explores the infamous Highway 666 in New Mexico, a stretch of road shrouded in mystery and dread. While the name has since been changed, locals still report seeing ghostly apparitions and experiencing strange occurrences along this cursed route, leading many to believe that it is one of the most haunted highways in the world.

From ghostly prisons to haunted highways, Volume 4 of Most Terrifying Places in America delivers on its promise to uncover the scariest locations in the country. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is sure to send shivers down your spine as you explore the darker side of the American landscape.
