[@suzywhite707]

My dad was in this prison. Seen a man get his throat slit by the barber.. said he had seen so much horror and wouldn't ever wanna go back...

[@amyreed-osborne5219]

My Grandfather spent time of the Mansfield Reformatory in his youth. He was there on 2 seperate occasions the last time held until he was 21. He would not talk about his time there.

[@jessicalarlham7247]

My uncle was there for years and will not talk about it either

[@williambock1821]

That was nice to set the record straight about Glattke. I’m from Mansfield by the way.

[@vinnyman4448]

I love blood prison and live near Mansfield, this is quality content. You will get discovered, don't give up this is super interesting

[@suzywhite707]

The chapel is beautiful and creepy..

[@Coolscarykid]

I feel like after the first warden passed who played classical music for the inmates to calm them down had a place in everyone’s heart but after he passed they got new guards and stuff it got out of control and that’s why they did what they did because the prison wasn’t the same without the first warden.

[@theweedusama]

Found this in my recommended....gotta say 2 things...I love your research and storytelling first! Second, hell yeah I think King read up on this...I see he just filled in blanks with his imagination lol

[@KevinHollisWI]

I spent years with my own paranormal investigation company. I tend not to listen to stories pre entering a building as stories get in your head and corrupt thought processing. You start hearing and seeing things due to the stories in your head. Old buildings, let alone run down buildings make noise…it’s not paranormal, it’s age. I’ve been to facilities where I have been pushed, scratched and even had a whisper in my ear, but have never actually seen a ghost. Most cold spots could mean a few reasons, old building drafts or even displaced air moved in by your own motion. As far as feeling paranoid as if someone is watching you, most facilities are old with old pipes, so slight gas leaks cause headaches, nausea and even hallucinations and paranoia. I am looking forward to visiting Mansfield very soon.

[@drewgulick3995]

dang you deserve more views you tell this very well

[@Spy_Pigeon]

Just seen your last uploaded video you should keep doing this. Sad you aint around anymore i love the content. Please come back just started watching you.

[@kaywee4200]

This was well done! 👍

[@melodo80]

Shawshank was written before mansfield was investigated and shut down, just a coincidence. Good vid

[@Trisha_64001]

Very interesting that it seems the movie used little tidbits of info from real life. Like the classical music being played and the guard named Red. Very cool!

[@Crysisplaya]

Love good ol prison history

[@slickrickdarula9483]

Some of my uncles where ĺocked up in there in the 80s. I heard some terrible stories about that place... smh

[@Bluehealer100]

I spent over 25 years in the Ohio prison system and I trained many times at Mansfield, a very creepy place but never saw a ghost!!!

[@ThePathOfLeastResistanc]

You have to believe

[@KeyKay]

i just made a touring video of this ! it was such an incredibly beautiful place to visit.

[@kalicassidy3651]

Just saying, my family and I went here last week. We drove around to the cemetary. No one came up to us. No one even stopped us. It was very interesting !

[@suzywhite707]

The cemetery is off limits. Its still open and active 5o the other prisons scrounging it

[@danstith23]

My wife and and I visited here 9 /26/2020 while using the men’s room I caught a movement behind me, not concerned I washed my hands and decided to check under the stalls there was nothing , my wife also needed to use the the ladies room so she went in I did not tell her what happened. I didn’t want to freak her out,when she came out I ask her if anyone followed me into the restroom she said no. While walking through the bottom floor of west block my wife said she had 2 small black orbs buzz by her, she initially thought they were flies but we didn’t see any flies anywhere else in the reformatory

[@babykaykes]

Also when I walked past a cell I heard a voice tell me be careful of the person in the next cell & there was someone in that cell trying to scare my group. I turned back to the empty cell & said thanks!

[@JeffEmerson-k3z]

I served 41 months there in the early 80s, I was 135 grand. Lot of people never knew this was where Ohios 1st electric chair was n also where the movie Shawshank Redemption was filmed. For anyone that has served time in Mansfield just know you are allowed too take your family for free through the prison during Halloween Haunted Tours every year.

[@beckibridenthal4386]

Me and my friends are going to the blood prison haunted house which is in the Mansfield Reformitory i live like 15 minutes away from Mansfield

[@Rex80123]

Just for historical accuracy, what was the name of the 14 year old boy you referenced being killed in the basement and when were guards torturing inmates in the chapel? Just curious where you got your information from? Thank you.

[@lynnkiner9920]

My uncle worked there. So many prisoners died. They were tortured by the guards, my uncle included. He'd brag to anyone that would listen about how they'd "Take care" of the inmates.

[@johnwidner1927]

I just came back home from Inkcarceration 2024 there at the reformatory, did the VIP tour, got the strangest feeling walking through that place, the despair and raw angry energy. There was one particular cell, it had the single word “here” carved into the wall above the cots. There may at one time been more but that was all that has survived. Does anybody know about that cell or who it housed?

[@johnjones9642]

I spent 3 1/2 years in there. I was 20 years old 1982 Damn the ghost, be ready for the ones that were alive😊

[@ThePathOfLeastResistanc]

Great content! Why’d you stop creating it??

[@StacyFrancis-y4f]

Spent 4 years 7 months in here , seen my share of body bags dragged out and down stairwells, got a lot of stories

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

New viewer as recommended by my gf. I love this channel now

[@Zqylxr]

Is it actually scary or is it haunted?

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

Haunted and scary

[@shopsshire9282]

Also known as Ohio State Reformatory or OSR.

[@Jammo1978]

Larry was probably scared to go to the next prison.

[@babykaykes]

I visited in 2014-15 & I saw Helen coming down the stairs she walked right past me I did smell perfume but that it was my friends moms perfume at the time!

[@andrewhalka4389]

I went into the hospital room and felt like I was in a freezer.

[@williameggleton414]

Is it me or do I find the story of "Elmo" disturbing? I'm a wannabe paranormal investigator and pilot but I wouldn't dare go down in "The Hole"! Not with that thing lurking around!

[@meganmansfield2363]

Wow lol.

[@daddydidnt9700]

You are now haunted Megan Mansfield, Ohio

[@Daldorn]

I go every year 😂

[@kodakwhite4706]

Glattke died of a heart attack... Why this dude build it up like he shot his self 🤣

[@Jammo1978]

He never said he'd shot himself, he said his wife shot herself by accident and people tried to put a spin on it like he'd shot her and he died 9yrs later.

[@tnash2698]

I'm not sure what all to point out that is completely incorrect about this. It'd be easier to list what was right. You really need to do your research unless all your content is merely inaccurate and fictional.

[@kylehawes4287]

If like learn about prison without hearing about that gay ass movie 🍿🎥 is that possible anyone
