The Phantom Prisoners of Ohio State Penitentiary

moment. - Yes, it would be. It certainly wouldn't be boring. - One thing that also happens in this room is that people get scratched if they get too rowdy. - Scratch me! That's what I'm here for. I'm here for the scratches. I always forget. - I really don't think you're giving it your all. - What do you want? Scratch me, idiot! - Here we go. He is back. - Come on, scratch me, make me bleed! - Shane-iac is back, baby. - Scratch my heart! Scratch my insides. - Shit, yeah. - Give me internal bleeding. Make me shit blood.

What about that? -He is receiving medical attention. - Hold onto my soul, come back to Hollywood with me and destroy the lives of all my friends and co-workers. - A little hard to follow, but I like where you're going. - Ryan's family has a little dog named Mickey. - Hey! - Very good. You wanted me to give it my all. I'm throwing things on the table. - Insults, not personal information. You're giving him a file on my life. - You know, this was supposed to be the season to respect ghosts and every time I've tried to do it you yell at me for disrespecting them. - I'm telling you to be true to who you are. - I mean, that's certainly valid. (Ryan laughs) Otherwise, I'm living a lie because we're talking to thin air! - The chapel is also an active area of ​​the reformatory.

There are rumors that the chapel was used as an execution site before being converted into a chapel, and ghosts have been known to trap people who try to leave. We're going up! - But would this be a good place? - This should be. On the other hand, you might also think that the spirits hanging out in the chapel might be making fun of things. I don't know. - Yes, but Jesus... Is Jesus here? - I have no idea. At that moment, our audio recorder picks up a voice saying, "I'm not." - Is Jesus here? ^- I have no idea. (Shane laughs) - What? - Well, clearly it is. - I guess.

Only then does it make sense. - Is Jesus cunning? - Yes, because I say so. He is responding. - I am not here. I am not here. - Either that or it's the devil. I don't know. - But then Jesus is the devil? Is that your position? - What I'm saying is that the devil pretends to be Jesus. He's playing a little game. - But then he said: "I'm here. "It's me, Jesus." - That's true, I guess not really... Do you know what it is? It makes me nervous that something answers a question about Jesus, it's a ghost that he's in a chapel for some reason, which seems like a strange place for someone to spend their life if they're trapped for eternity.

I don't know, I think it's pretty normal. .That's my new answer. - Okay, well, I think that's a pretty clear voice and he answered your question in a bit of a complicated way, but in an intelligent way. I mean, it's a great room. chapel. I must say that for a prison chapel I didn't expect it to be so spacious. (Shane sings) It wasn't bad. - Alright, my name is Ryan, that's Shane. - And we're here to establish one. connection with you. We want you to feel comfortable and safe when you communicate with us. We do not judge, we do not care about the crimes you have committed. - This is a place of worship and forgiveness. - And we respect you. - It must be lonely.

If you don't want us to leave, you should say something now. - This place sucks. - You could go home with him. He'll get you out of this hole. - Climb on me. I'll give you a piggyback ride home to sunny Los Angeles. - Last chance. What is your name? (distant rattle) Is that a muffled conversation? - It's very peculiar. - Where does it come from? Ah, I see it. There's a bird right there. - Oh, there's a lot in there. Hello brothers. - That's a lot of shit. - Hey. -When it comes to guards with a pension for doling out punishments, our last location is perhaps the darkest, a place known as the Hole.

The Hole was the name given to the prison's isolation ward. This block was reserved for those punished. ^Legend has it that in the late 1930s ^as punishment for a mutiny, 120

prisoners

were forced to lock themselves in 12 solitary confinement cells for a week without food. This incident reportedly caused madness and some deaths. Horrific events reportedly occurred at the Hole, including an inmate who hanged himself, a guard who was killed by inmates, an inmate who set himself on fire, a case where two inmates entered the hole together and only one came out, and the other was discovered dead, his body stuffed under the bunk.

In other words, this is a pretty horrible place, and as with most horrible places, we'll investigate it individually. - We will do that thing where I go first and you go second, and that will be fun for you because you will generate anticipation and you will be very scared. - Yes very good. - Whereas I just walk around and probably don't take it too seriously. - Bye bye. - Bye bye. (ominous music) If there's anyone here, my name is Shane and I'd like to talk to you. I have a microphone in my pocket, and if you put your lips very close to it and whisper something, my friend will have proven that ghosts are real. - How did this come about?

Sometimes I really wonder how I ended up in this place, walking alone in solitary confinement in the middle of the night in a haunted prison. Is this what he wanted from life? I do not think it is. - Please try to say something intelligent and coherent. He says, "I don't like the food here," "This is a bad time for me," or "Could you stop talking?" Something. I'm going to give you the floor now. Did you know? For the hell of it, I'm going to turn off the light. It's going to be pitch black here in a prison.

Here we go. - You know, I didn't walk through West Cell Block. (Ryan humming) - Here's something good. Looks like someone took a beating on this. I'm not sure what that is. Wow, wow. These seem to be lonely rooms, I think because they have those little doors. I'm going to jump into one of these and feel the space. (Shane groans) Now I'll stay quiet. If you are a ghost, contact me, reach out. I welcome your thoughts. I respect you because that's what I'm doing this season or at least trying to do. Here I go. I'll be quiet now.

Let it burst. - It's nice here, I like it. (high-pitched whistles) If there's someone up there, make that noise again in your cell. (Ryan laughs) I hate this place. I really do. - But it has some charm. I'm not even kidding about that. - It's time to face the music. Let's send Ry guy to the Hole. - Very afraid, the things you told me. I don't know if my friend Ryan will respond as well. - You know I hate you, right? - It's pretty creepy. I sat in one of the solitary cells and really... tried to put myself in their shoes, and I think I learned a little bit. - Wow.

I hate this part of the episode. - Ghosts, here it comes! - Jesus Christ, that was loud. - Here comes your boy, Ryan Bergara. Well, good luck. You're leaving now. - Okay, well like Mr. Shane said, my name is Ryan. I'm really scared right now, so you should know that if you're scared, I promise you I'm more scared. -Ryan is out there doing his little things. - Just know that if you show up, I have a camera. I'll see you and everyone will know you exist and I win. - It seems like he's doing well this season.

I'm proud of him. We're growing, you know? -If there's someone up here with me- It just gives me chills, oh shit. - I had to do it sometime. I don't know how it will go. He was a little nervous at the beginning of the night. - Well, I'm going to sit in one of these and they're disgusting. He is fine, sitting alone in a solitary cell. Good shit, right? Okay, let's light the spirit box. (Static machine) Alright, my name is Ryan. Can you respond to Ryan? Can you say Ryan? There's no escape, huh? ^What is the name of the prison we are in now?

Psychopath? Who is in this cell? Whose cell am I in? Can you say my name? My name is Ryan Bergara. What did you do? ^Why are you here? Good? Obviously you weren't good. - The cranking hurts me. - That? - What does it say? - It sounds to me like he said: "We board first at dusk." - Shall we board for the first time at dusk? ^- Yes, listen to it again. - So, we were talking to the demons and we said, "Please tell us an important message," and he walked up to the microphone and said, "We board at dusk first." - It could be a metaphor, I don't know. -Why would ghosts speak with metaphors? - I don't know.

Why would ghosts talk? - Checkmate. - Okay, I'm going to turn this off for the last part. Now there is an alarming silence here. What was that? Who was that? Show yourself. Could you make some noise? Could you hit one of your cells? I will go to you. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. -Ryan. - Who is that? - Do you hear the little whispers? - Please. - Oops. - If you want to talk - God, every hair on my body stands up. - Time is over! - Thank God. Too late, I won't know. Sayonara, you son of a bitch!

Ry boy is out. - What are you going to tell them? - Look closely at this face. You will never see him again. You had your chance. See that little dance? That's the last thing you'll see. Bye bye. Damn, I forgot about the spirit box, shit. - Go get it! - I have my hands full. - Well, do your best. - Now I'm back. Isn't it funny how that happens? Damn, where did I leave this shit? Boy, what have you done, Ryan? What have you done? I found you, son of a bitch! This is the best part when I feel so much joy and happiness and remember all the good things in the world. - This is you at your most disgusting. - Yes.

After spending a night wandering the haunting halls of the Ohio State Reformatory, I can understand why many feel the prison is haunted. Even without the story, the images presented are enough to get the imagination going, but whether or not the Ohio State Reformatory is definitively haunted will remain unresolved. (creepy music) So right now we're going to go retrieve the static camera from the chair room, and if this chair isn't where I left it, I'm going to lose my fucking mind. - What happens if the chairs are stacked like in Poltergeist? - That would be equally crazy. - Oh, this is so weird.

They are in the same place. - In the same place, how about that? - Very curious. Something about this seems a little suspicious. That ghost was supposed to move that chair. - He was. I can't say I'm not disappointed because I am. I'm disappointed with what's in this room. - Tough season for Boo-garas. - It's a big request, once again. - Tough season.
