During an investigation in Mansfield, Ohio with Darkness Radio and the Ghost Adventures Crew, we were able to get away for a short bit and explore the town. Imagine our excitement, when we came across the merry go round! It was like being a child again.

Now, only if we could have found the ice cream shop…..

Check out my fellow bloggers below!

Thank you for the “behind the scene” tours, answering all my questions and for your patience with my camera constantly being in your face. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to keep in touch. You are all fabulous!

In the near future, I’ll be blogging about this gorgeous building as well as posting some photos. However, until then, please enjoy the videos of some of the personal experiences the volunteers have had at Mansfield Reformatory.

“This scenic Mississippi River site provided Native American food, shelter, and transportation for over 9000 years. Count Frontenac, the Governor of New France, sponsored the first European explorers to this area in 1680.

James (Bully)Wells established a fur trading post in 1840. In 1854, Evert Westervelt opened the first store in “Western Landing”. Isreal and Lewis Garrand brought resources and craftsmen to build an aristocratic frontier city and in 1857 platted the town Westervelt.

The village was renamed Frontenac in 1859 and prospered in fur trading, logging, limestone and hospitality.”

Rather than blog about the history of the building  www.easternstate.org or the reports of ghost sightings, I thought it would be fun to write about Pep.

Now, you may ask yourself, what or who is Pep? Well, I’m getting to that.

I found out about Pep as I stood there with my soda in one hand and a souvenir t-shirt in the other, looking for a few books to bring back home, late one night in the gift shop at Eastern State. As I browsed around, I came to a selection of coffee cups with a dog’s photo on them.

I asked the poor soul, waiting patiently for me behind the counter to buy my items, what was the story behind the dog.

He told me that Pep was sentenced to Eastern State Penitentiary. Say what?

Eighty six years ago, on August 12, 1924, this adorable but guilty looking Labrador Retriever was assigned Inmate Number C2559.

His crime? Allegedly, he killed Governor Gifford Pinchot’s wife’s beloved cat (whew, that is a mouthful) and was sentenced to life in prison.

However, the Governor’s version differed. He claimed that Pep was sent to Eastern State to keep the inmates company and to be the prison’s mascot. Nice recover Mr. PR.

Whatever the reasoning, how can you not love this cat murdering dog’s mug shot?!

Supposedly, Pep’s ghost haunts the prison grounds. There have been reports of people hearing a dog howl and the sound of dog tags jingling.

Below are two videos of what can happen during an investigation that most paranormal investigators don’t want you to know.  The first is what happens when you are slap happy because you have had no sleep for the past 48 hours and the second is what happens when an investigator gets scares.

Enjoy!

These brutal murders were committed by the oldest son, Robert DeFeo, Jr.  His story has changed over the years to why he murdered his family.

Stories have varied from hearing voices and demons to family abuse.  He has even said his sister (one of the victims) helped him murder his family.

A year later, the Lutz family moved into the house and they were well aware of the tragic history.

However, they only lived in the house for 28 days.  They claimed to be terrorized by demonic forces and they were so scared, they left and never returned, leaving all of their possessions behind.

In 1977, a book, “The Amityville Horror: A True Story,” was written to document their horrific experiences.

Did George and Kathy Lutz really encounter paranormal activity or was it all a hoax?  There are many theories and I’m not sure what to think.  But what I do know is a family was brutally murdered, over 35 years ago, in a small picturesque town called Amityville .  And forever, this town, will be known for that horrific crime.
