Episode description

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! This week we've got a petrifying prison and a paralyzing plantation. Kala discusses The Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise, ID. Built before Idaho was even a state, this facility saw executions, riots, and death due to the poor conditions in which the prisoners were kept. As a result, there are a multitude of spirits still stuck in the building where they were held. Tourists, employees, and paranormal investigators have reported many classic haunting occurrences such as orbs, strange noises, and heavy feelings. They've also reported some uncommon occurrences, such as spirits who like to act as guides at the prison-turned-museum where they reside. And Brittany talks about the Ferry Plantation in Virginia Beach, VA. The 11 ghosts who call this place home in the afterlife make themselves known to visitors in various ways, so which one would you like to meet? The soaking wet spirit of a woman accused of witchcraft? Or the two children who have been seen playing throughout the mansion on the property? (They'll greet you with a hug if you're lucky.) Or even the ghosts of sailors who were lost in a shipwreck at the ferry landing? You'll be hard-pressed to find a place on this property that doesn't have some specters hanging around.
