Ohio State Reformatory

from Ghost Misadventures Hosted by Little Ghost Misadventures

This week we're continuing our haunted midwest episodes with a trip to Mansfield, Ohio to unlock the history of the Ohio State Reformatory. From its beginnings as a progressive prison to its overcrowding, violence, infamous inmates, and lasting legacy, we explore the real history behind one of America's most recognizable prisons. Zak and the boys are locked inside the massive reformatory to investigate reports of shadow figures, disembodied voices, unexplained footsteps, and the spirits said to still roam its cell blocks. We listen to their EVPs and Zak's evidence meltdown to determine if the Ohio State Reformatory is actually haunted. Did the spirits of the Ohio State Reformatory make themselves known? Was Zak really communicating with the former inmates? Was Mike auditioning to join the Ghost Adventures crew? Listen in this week to find out! Ghost Adventures "Ohio Reformatory" originally aired on November 19, 2009 Next week we're back in sunny California for "Point Sur Lighthouse" Instagram @ghostmisadventurespodcast TikTok @ghost.misadventures.pod
