Haunted Attractions

Eastern State Penitentiary

Philadelphia, PA

An 1829 Philadelphia penitentiary that operated until 1971 — its regime of complete solitary confinement is considered one of the most psychologically severe in American prison history. Now a year-round historic museum with ghost tours; its seasonal haunted event each fall is among the country's largest.
