Eastern state penitentiary in Philadelphia offers a haunting look into the past of this now closed prison.
Walking through the halls of the penitentiary was scary! Reading that it is haunted didn't help.
Built in 1829, Eastern State Penitentiary is considered to be the world's first true penitentiary. Upon completion, it was the largest and most expensive public structure ever erected in the United States. 

Several notorious criminals were held at Eastern State, including Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton.

The prison operated until 1971, after which it was closed and abandoned.

Everything was very good. Except they just sent me the code to enter the building and not the one to enter the apt. Thank God, there were some other guys check-in in another apt and they lent me their phone to call and get the code. But they should have sent in the instructions all together.
