Welcome to Haunted Road, a production of I Heart Radio and Grim and Mild from Erin

Manky.

Listener discretion is advised.

In May of 2021, Adam Berry and I were leading groups of people through an investigation

in the solitary confinement wing of Ohio State Reformatory.

Every hour, another group of 15 or so nervously excited folks would file into the pitch black

space and Adam and I would lead them through a paranormal investigation.

During this though, we tried an experiment we'd never done before.

Before we did anything investigation wise, we would ask each person to individually walk

down the long corridor of 15 or so cells, with only the moonlight coming in a few barred

windows to light their way.

In complete silence, we would watch them one by one slowly make their way back and forth.

Each time it felt like an eternity, each time we all held our breath for them, and each

time they would meet Adam in the far corner and whisper which cell made them the most

uncomfortable walking by it.

All in all, close to 100 people made that walk that night, and all but two, named the exact

same cell.

Let's visit Ohio State Reformatory where the hauntings began before it was ever even

built.

I'm Amy Bruney, and this is Haunted Road.

Ohio State Reformatory seemed destined to be haunted.

Even the land it was built on had seen plenty of casualties.
