Ghost Adventures: Old Wyoming Penitentiary

Walkthrough Part 2

Walkthrough Part 2

We interviewed Matt Davis and Elaine Brownell of Wyoming Paranormal Investigations, their team held an investigation here not too long ago and wanted to share their experiences with us.

They walked us outside in the yard and spoke to Zak, Matt pointed towards one the guard towers.

"We were asking questions about a guard who worked at tower 9, he committed suicide sometime in 1950's when the stress of work got the better of him. On our recorders, we got intelligent response to our questions including one saying "Help me."

Heading inside to Cell Block A, Elaine showed us Cell 32 where she tried an EVP session.

"I kept asking questions like any inmates died in this cell, but I didn't get many responses anywhere inside the Cell Blocks. Soon after, we noticed a sign beside one of the barred doors."

She pointed to the sign with a list of rules for the inmates:

1) Strict Obedience to all rules and regulations in the officer under whose charge you may be placed.

2) Observe strict silence. No conversation allowed except by permission of the officer in charge. When in your cell, you are permitted to converse in a low tone with your cell mate, but must cease when retiring bell rings, and conversation with anyone in adjoining cells is strictly forbidden.

3) You must not speak to any visitor, or give to or receive from a visitor, anything except by permission of the Warden.

Zak glanced over the sign, intrigued.

"Maybe this is why the inmates wouldn't speak, they're still following the prison rules."

Next, we interviewed Della Colman who was a Tour patron and witnessed some paranormal activity.

"I was walking down Cell Block B with my group, and we stopped in front of this cell, Cell 27. Our tour guide told us about the many inmates who cracked under the pressure and committed suicide by throwing themselves off the upper floors of the cell blocks. As I stood in front of the cells, I felt my hair get pulled hard and I was touched inappropriately."

"Can imagine why they'd be rough around women, these inmates haven't seen any in years."

"Is that why you guys wanted me here?" I quickly asked Zak.

"Well, not the entire reason. We still need another investigator for this huge place and you are our best shot."

I smiled to Zak's reply,

"Then I can't wait to help."

Patting my shoulder, Zak gave a me reassuring look that he was happy to have me there.

Aaron set an X in front of the cell, we met up again with Norman Walker who an experience in Cell Block C.

"I always felt a dark presence inside these cell blocks, and often felt someone punch and hit me out of no where."

Zak turned to Aaron,

"Looks we've got a spot for you tonight."

Shaking his head in disbelief, he set another X.

Next, we followed Matt and Elaine to the other hot spots inside the prison that they investigated.

"We searched the Women's facility for anyone in the room, and we caught an apparition walking down the hall."

With the X set, we checked their next place.

Matt escorted us inside the Shower room,

"I was standing in here, doing an EVP session and Elaine tried the Chapel. It got inexplicably cold, and then I heard a disembodied voice outside the door. When I reviewed my recorder, it sounded like a man speaking but I wasn't able to tell what it said."

Afterwards, Elaine showed us her experience inside the Prison Chapel.

"I was investigating and asked if anyone was in here, then out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone leave the room. When I checked it out, no one was there.

Next, we met Sarah Gordon who another Tour patron who took us through the Dungeon House.

"I was walking through here with another group member, we felt a cold chill pass through us then my camcorder got a voice whispering to us."

"And what did it say?"

"It said "It's cold...please help."

Aaron set another X on the concrete ground, then we did one more walkthrough with Matt and Elaine.

They took over to the Gallows and the Gas Chamber, sharing more of their evidence. Strange anomalies have been captured by the Chamber and inside the Gallows, a reflection of an apparition of a man wearing a brimmed hat was seen in the room.

With Xs set in both locations, they showed us one last place before our lockdown, the Hold.

Both Matt and Elaine showed us inside,

"We held another EVP session in here, we got several voices begging for help. Many of them died in here from exposure to the cold."

With the walkthrough completed and all Xs were set down, we headed back to the Entrance.

Zak turned and spoke to us,

"Guys, we're gonna have a lot of ground to cover. So let's get our gear and ready ourselves for the lockdown."
