## Resource

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week Sarge returns just in time for us to cover one of the most haunted prisons in America, Eastern State Penitentiary. But before we can go talk about all the hauntings and paranormal happenings that take place there, we gotta talk a bit about the history of the prison itself. From the initial conception to the eventual closing of the prison, we cover it all. So give it a listen, learn some stuff, and as always...enjoy!
