Haunting Good Times


Last night a bunch of us took a ride to Philly for a little bit of Terror Behind the Walls.
There is a really old abandoned prison in Philly called Eastern State Penitentiary. One of its claims to fame is that Al Capone was once imprisoned there. And it is now a well known Ghost Hunter site. So they put on a huge haunted tour through the prison leading up to Halloween.

I got a bunch of jump the line tickets from work, so we didn't have to wait with everyone else. That was cool cause it saved an hour of waiting. We had a good time, it was a lot of dark rooms to walk through, some filled with smoke, some with flashing lights. There are a ton of actors that work there, all in creepy makeup, that jump out and you and scream things at you and bang on things to make you jump. So it was fun and not really scary, just startling when someone jumps out at you out of nowhere.

All in all good fun. Glad we went to it as least once.

I went to Philly for my birthday 2 years ago, and we sort of accidentally came across the Penitentiary. I wanted to go take a look, but the (now ex-) boyfriend was not interested.

I went with tt to York Dungeons - that was full of the actor dudes too. My fave bit was when the Yorkshire ripper jumped out and asked me if I had protection and I gave him a condom....
