Eastern State Penitentiary hauntings and Al Capone connection

Eastern State Penitentiary, a historic prison built in 1829, held notable inmates including Al Capone for a short period in 1929. The site is widely reported in local history and tourism as being haunted and is used for paranormal investigations and seasonal attractions such as the "Terror Behind the Walls" haunted event. Its ruined cellblocks and interpretive programming have generated numerous local ghost stories tied to specific cells and corridors.
