| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to paranormal activity with me, Yvette Fielding. This week, we're |
| 0:08.4 | stepping inside one of the most chilling, oppressive and abnormally active locations in the whole |
| 0:14.5 | of the United States and talking about one of its most infamous and notorious prisoners. Al Capone and of course his ghost, |
| 0:24.5 | a place so notorious that even seasoned investigators approach it with caution. Now I've talked about |
| 0:31.2 | this immense prison before on the podcast, but this time I wanted to dig a little bit deeper |
| 0:36.7 | into the building and of course |
| 0:38.5 | its most infamous inmate. We're talking about Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia and, |
| 0:44.6 | as I mentioned, Al Capone. Now the prison is a decaying labyrinth of crumbling cell blocks, |
| 0:51.2 | echoing corridors and silent stone towers that once held some of the country's most dangerous criminals. |
| 0:58.5 | For nearly 200 years, this prison has been a breeding ground for isolation, desperation, madness, and many believe, myself included, restless spirits from phantom footsteps to shadowy figures, ghostly |

| 1:50.3 | fact or fiction that Eastern State Penitentiary was built on a former graveyard. Was it built |
| 1:57.0 | on a former graveyard? That would make a bit of sense, wouldn't it? Fact or fiction, |
| 2:02.2 | find out at the end of the show. Now, to understand Eastern State Penitentiary, you have to |
| 2:12.2 | imagine stepping into a place that was never designed for comfort, for warmth, or even for the possibility of redemption. |
| 2:20.6 | This was a fortress built not just of stone and iron, but of ideology, an experiment in punishment |
