This is one of the top 10
Most violent correctional facilities.
You had to become animalistic to survive here.
There have been almost 1,000
Recorded deaths on the property.
If you antagonize something inside this prison,
Don't be surprised when it antagonizes you back.
- ****. - Holy ****.
Guys, get me out of here.
- I'm done talking. - I just heard a laugh.
You guys, I'm scared.
I'm all scratched up, bro.
If you die in this prison, you stay here.
My name is dakota laden.
I am a documentary filmmaker.
For the past few years, I've been investigating
The paranormal with zak bagans and the "ghost adventures" crew.
Dakota laden, welcome, buddy.
I grew up in a house where paranormal activity
Terrorized my entire family.
It has gripped my sister and my childhood best friend
And me ever since.
So I had an idea, a psychological experiment
Where I would test how terror affects the human mind,
What it reveals about our true selves
And just how much a person can withstand.
To understand the paranormal,
First, we need to overcome our fear.
I'm leading us on a road trip to explore
The most haunted abandoned locations in all of america.
Each night, we'll separate and sleep alone.
The catch is I'm the only one who knows where we're going.
Right now, we are back in west virginia,
And I could see tanner and chelsea
In front of me right now.
They are on a pond in a paddleboat.
It looks like they're having fun.
Let's go say, "what's up, duck?"
We're over here chasing ducks. Meanwhile, dakota is like...
In a cemetery just sad.
It's nice to see them laughing
Because where we're going is not a laughing matter.
We are going to west virginia's oldest penitentiary.
This prison is known for its violence.
There have been almost 1,000 recorded deaths on the property.
They were killed by public hangings
And the use of the electric chair.
This prison was on the us department of justice's
Top 10 most violent correctional facilities.
With so much dark history,
This prison is known to be very, very haunted.
People have been pushed, attacked.
People have been scratched.
I'm just hoping that we can all make it through
And stay united as a team
Because we're not even close to done.
We spend too much time in this rv.
Yeah, it's just like a little jail cell
Just kind of hanging out in this little tiny spot.
What have you guys seen change in yourselves
Due to this crazy, crazy experiment we're trying?
I can't really sleep that well at night anymore,
Just, you know, nightmares, uncomfortable.
It's really interesting to watch your body
When you're by yourself go from confident
And calm to very nervous and kind of shaky.
This has been a very dark road trip,
So I have something that maybe can lift our spirits
A little bit to have a little fun.
- Nice. - I don't hear that enough.
- Yeah. - We're gonna have fun?
- Exactly. - We're gonna have fun.
Really quick, does anyone have
A fear of, like, heights or anything?
- Yes. - Okay, cool, let's go.
Every time, dakota says, "it'll be fun."
All right, so we are going to conquer
A different kind of fear,
Swinging 100 feet in the air.
You know there's a driveway that goes all the way up to this?
- Yeah, well, we're walking. - All right.
We want to do the giant swing.
Awesome, we can do that.
What the heck kind of swing is this?
I feel like this is gonna be really intense.
- Let's do it. - All right.
- Let's do it. - Let's freaking do it.
let's go put it on.
All right. Let's do it.
Where's the cord we have to pull so we don't get stuck up there?
Chels, we're not all harnessed in yet.
I don't care.
You guys ready to face our fears in a completely different way? Totes.
- Because I don't know if I am. - Let's do it.
I just assume you're ready for everything
Because you always make us do this stuff, it's your idea.
Okay.
If we go down, we're going down together.
I'm actually sweating.
Okay. That's good.
I don't feel good.
- Holy crap. - Okay.
All right, chelsea. Reach back, and pull the cord.
- I got it. - Pull the cord.
Gosh, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
Come on, chels.
- ****. - Holy ****.
That was way scarier...
Yeah, baby!
- We defeated the giant swing! - Do it again!
Somewhere out there is the crazy haunted location
That we're going to.
I'm not kidding.
I know exactly where it is, but I'm not gonna say.
I'm not gonna say any more.
I can give you guys a hint, though.
People have been reported to be actually
Burned by the spirits here. - What?
Not scratched, not pushed but physical, like,
Burns showing up on their bodies after spending nights.
- Weird. - Jeez, that's so freaky.
It's hard to imagine there is such a terrible place
In this beautiful area.
This one has a lot of potential to really screw us over.
Come on. You suck.
Inside of this packet right here,
I have all of the research
That I've done, very creepy stories about this location.
West virginia state penitentiary.
- I cried at the last prison. - I know.
A looming gothic stone structure,
The west virginia state penitentiary housed the state's
Most notorious and dangerous criminals.
The west virginia penitentiary opened in the year 1866,
And it was an operation for 129 years.
I was a guard here at the penitentiary nine years.
I was frightened here every day. I'll put it this way.
When I went to the new prison,
It was like walking in daycare center
Compared to what this was.
Also known as moundsville,
It sits directly across the street
From one of the country's largest and oldest
Native american burial mounds.
The prison walls echo with many stories of violence,
Torture, and death.
I believe the inmates thought that they were
Probably entering hell.
They knew they would probably never get out of here alive.
They've actually seen them being drug in here screaming
And crying because they knew the reputation of the place.
You had to become animalistic to survive here.
There was a guy in charge
Of the entire department of corrections
Said that he visited zoos that were much cleaner
And safer than the west virginia penitentiary.
Moundsville had 998 documented
Deaths between 1923 and 1995.
I'd say just about every section of this penitentiary,
There was probably a murder.
We had some of the most vengeful, violent,
Manipulative individuals incarcerated behind these walls.
All of the west virginia death row
Executions from 1899 to 1959
Were carried out at moundsville.
In total, 94 men were hung or electrocuted on-site.
- Yeah. - Jeez, dude.
They had old sparky, the electric chair there.
They had a noose.
In the 1880s, superintendent john e. Peck
Tortured inmates using the kicking jenny.
The inmate would be stripped and chained down.
An officer would take a 4-foot-long leather strap,
Soak it in vinegar and salt water,
And he would swing this until total exhaustion overtook him.
He told the deputy warden that he didn't think
They had been punished enough until they were near death,
Or he was tired, and this was not the inmates
Inflicting violence on other inmates.
This was the administration
Committing some of the most gruesome acts of violence
Against the inmates all in the name of punishment.
Over the course of 14 months,
Two inmates were murdered every month.
They started documenting the deaths later on.
For a while there, they didn't --
They have no documentation of these deaths.
Prisoners would die, and it would get, like,
Shoved under the rug.
Conditions inside the penitentiary were horrible,
Freezing temperatures in the winter,
Blazing high heat in the summer,
With temperatures reaching 120 degrees in the upper cellblocks.
And they had lice, roaches, rats,
All kind of things like that running around.
Inmates would wake up with rats
Sitting on their chest inside their cells
That had crawled up out of the sewers.
The state police saw that there were so many rats
That they started bringing in fishing poles
And jars of peanut butter
And fished for rats all night to help pass the time.
Three prisoners were held in each 5x7-foot cell.
It actually was inhumane.
The cells were never meant to be lived in.
They were only supposed to be slept in.
They were too small.
I mean, that's not much bigger than this table.
Yeah, really.
They eventually shut this prison down
Because they determined that this place
Was cruel and unusual punishment.
You think about the angry dark energy
That that leaves behind as well as the spirits
That that would leave behind.
It gets crazy, I mean, everything, cell doors slamming,
Footsteps running down the hallway, screams.
One time, when I was in here by myself,
I was down in new wall,
Which is where the mainline population was housed,
And as I was walking past the cell doors,
They all slammed shut at the same time.
There's a lot of times I've walked into rooms
And felt like I just interrupted something.
You feel like there's eyes on me from all around.
A common belief of the prisoners,
Too, was that if you die here, your soul stays here.
Also used as the hole,
The boiler room is the basement of the penitentiary.
When an inmate was found truly uncontrollable,
They were sent to the hole for 30 days.
Inmate rd wall was brutally murdered there
By three fellow prisoners in a slow and painful death
With homemade knives after he snitched.
There was rumors they tried to cut his hands off.
They slit his throat.
It always picks up a lot of paranormal activity
Down in the boiler room.
People feel like they're touched.
People will feel like they feel a cold finger
Running across the back of their neck.
The sugar shack, located in the lower level of the prison,
The sugar shack was a recreation room
Where inmates would be put during stormy weather,
Unsupervised by guards.
Why did they call it the sugar shack?
Well, the story that I heard was the inmates
Said it was a sweet place to be.
No officer was ever in there while they were in there.
It kind of carries like the vegas saying.
What happens in there stays in there.
People report seeing shadow figures,
Apparitions, voices, and light anomalies
In this pitch dark room.
I just know if you're recording for voices,
We get a lot of voices out here.
There are already two spots that I just absolutely do
Not want to sleep alone in. - Yeah.
North hall, home to the prison's most ruthless inmates,
North hall is said to have witnessed more murders
Than any other cellblock in all of america.
Red snyder, leader of the aryan brotherhood,
Lived on the first floor of b block until 1992.
Red was thought to be the most violent inmate
That had ever been incarcerated inside this prison.
Yes, I knew red.
He was stabbed 37 times by his friend, rusty.
A lot of people that red will still communicate with them,
That he will still answer people's questions
And that he's aware of what's going on around him.
When you come across a spirit
That has more of that vengeful personality, you can tell.
This sounds like the scariest place
That I will have ever gone to.
This one is going to be a real test, I think.
Be patient. They're there.
They will talk to you.
Be aware of what you're getting yourself into.
If you antagonize something inside this prison,
Don't be surprised when it antagonizes you back.
We're hearing all sorts of audible noises.
Get me out of here now.
Holy ****.
Do you guys have anything you're concerned about
Or worried about?
This is the first time that we've, like, heard stories
That are so descriptive.
Like, we can actually paint the picture when we're there.
When this place was active and running,
The inmates that would attack other inmates
Wait for them to be secluded and alone,
And then they attack them, so when we separate tonight,
I have a feeling that that's what's gonna happen to us.
We have a proven track record of every time we separate,
It gets worse, and it intensifies,
So yeah, there's a lot at stake.
Right now, we are on our way to meet with author sherri brake.
She has written two books about moundsville penitentiary,
And she knows everything.
You can read something on a piece of paper,
And it's just a story,
But when you actually talk to someone in person,
You can kind of tell on their face
If they're telling the truth or not.
And where we're meeting sherri is somewhere
Directly connected to the penitentiary.
My gosh.
This is where the prisoners are buried.
Hello, nice to meet you, sherri.
- Nice to meet you, finally. - Yeah.
I wanted you guys to come here
Because I know you're going to be spending the night,
But it's really important that you get to check out this place.
This is where a lot of the forgotten souls
And the unclaimed bodies of the inmates were left.
So they don't even get their own proper headstones.
No, they don't.
What these are, basically, kind of like license plates
With their name, with their number on there
And then also their date of birth and their death date.
Now, there are some intriguing people in this cemetery
I wanted to tell you about.
Yeah, I'm very curious.
So you have the grave here of eddie fielder.
Now, a lot of the men in here, they died from natural causes,
Some of them from execution, and eddie committed suicide.
Wow.
After he passed, another prisoner
Was put into that very same cell
And that night had an apparition appear to him,
The man hanging in the cell.
There's a belief among many of the inmates
That if you die in prison, your soul stays in prison,
Afterlife with no parole.
You wonder why a place like a penitentiary
Is gonna have activity.
- You've got all that death. - That's right.
85 hangings, nine electrocutions,
All of those documented murders,
The inmates with feelings of
Remorse, hate, anger so just beware.
So you genuinely really think
That there are lots and lots of spirits here in moundsville?
I do. I really do.
I've been going there for 20 years.
And what have you experienced there?
I've been strolling north hall at night,
And I've gotten spit on.
- What, spit on? - Spit on.
A, like, physical...
- From up above. - What?
And I know it was not human
Because you don't have access to those cells up above you.
- Holy crap. - So whatever spit on me --
- Yeah. - ...I don't know.
I'll be curious what you get tonight.
I feel like as soon as the sun goes down, too,
It, like, gives a whole different vibe.
It's the calm before the storm,
But it's not very calm right now.
We have to make sure tonight
That we have each other's backs more so than ever.
Let's go sit up front because we are very close.
that's got to be it.
...My gosh.
No way, dude, the towers are so tall.
Dude, this whole thing is, like, a city block long.
I know.
- This looks -- - dude, this is...
...Lot bigger in person.
This is it.
Yeah.
Dude, my anxiety levels just, like...
Okay, holy crap, you guys.
- My gosh. - Look at this.
This is massive.
Dude, the pictures didn't do it justice.
All right. Let's go in.
- No... - It's so crazy.
...Way.
I do not like this.
All right. So we just walked in.
I'm gonna go over the map with everyone,
The blueprint of the building.
Where we're currently sitting is right here
In the administrative area.
Directly below us right now
Is the boiler room where the hole used to be.
We got the north hall right here, and then past
That to our right this way, is the south hall.
Below the south hall
Is where sugar shack is so turn my ir light off.
- Hell no. - All right.
Why do we do this?
My gosh, we are in.
We are in the penitentiary right now.
We...
What the ****.
Holy ****.
What the hell was that?
- Hello? - You guys, I'm scared.
Honest to god, are you serious, right away?
Dude, right away.
We are in the penitentiary right now.
We...
What the ****.
- This sucks. - Okay, so we literally...
I just started talking out loud
About what's going on, how we just got here,
And we heard the loudest noise down there.
That sounded like a door slamming, like a cell door.
It happened right in this room, you guys.
- Hello? - What the hell?
What's this sound like?
No, we didn't even get to, like, start walking,
And we already had something happen.
Well, there's nothing over here.
That's for sure. All right.
Should we try to make our way to the north hall?
I do not want to go down that way,
Whatever down that way is.
That's the north hall.
We're coming down to the north hall.
- Down there looks bad. - Get this, you guys.
My gosh, this is an animal cage, ****.
This was the cellblock where more murders happened
Than any other prison in all of the country.
All of the artwork that we see tonight on the walls
Are original from the inmates.
My gosh.
Chelsea, that's red's cell.
The aryan brotherhood with a nazi symbol.
Yeah, red was the leader of the aryan brotherhood.
That is so bad.
He's a terrible, terrible person.
Should we do a digital recorder session inside of red's cell?
- Definitely. - All right.
Okay, so right now, we are sitting in red snyder's cell.
This is the ex-leader of the aryan brotherhood
Where he was murdered and stabbed
37 times right where we are sitting,
And I'm gonna do a digital recorder session
And see if we can communicate with red.
Red, can you give us a sign that you're here?
Can you say something?
We will be able to hear you.
- Was that a voice? - Yeah.
- That was, dude. - It was a man.
My gosh.
That was a really quick -- that was an audible voice
That we heard with our ears, not on this.
- Did you hear that, alex? - Yeah.
Listen, we got to catch it on camera.
- That was audible. - That was so loud, dude.
That sounded like a man.
Something does not want us doing evp.
We keep getting interrupted.
We just tried to do a digital recorder session,
And in the middle of it, we heard talking.
Whatever it is is trying to make us not do the evp,
And we're just gonna do it. - All right.
Rolling on the digital recorder again in red's cell.
How did you die?
No way, it just died.
- It just died? - It just died.
My gosh.
Something does not want us communicating with it. No.
We finally thought we were gonna get a good evp.
- Are you kidding me? - ****.
- I just heard a laugh. - What?
I'm not **** kidding, dude, right down there.
- My **** back, dude, go. - Get up. Get up.
- Get up. - I'm not kidding.
- Something is on my back. - Yo, turn around.
- Turn around. - Dude, what the ****?
Yo, you've got **** marks, bro.
- Are you kidding me? - In a row.
Dude, it's all scratched up, bro.
- I'm not -- - six scratches.
Bro, you're **** scratched everywhere.
- Dude. - Turn around.
I'm not kidding, you guys.
My back was, like, burning right when we heard, like, laughing.
You look like you just got put on the kicking jenny.
Something does not want us communicating with it. No.
We finally thought we were gonna get a good evp.
- ****. - What?
I'm not kidding. I just heard a laugh.
Yo, you've got three scratch marks, bro.
You look like you just got put on the kicking jenny.
- What the ****? - That's what I'm saying.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
- Okay, on and out. - Let's get out.
- We've got to go. - Let's take a step out.
I'm getting out of here.
Dude, dude, this is where the laughing came from.
- ****. - Hey, chill.
- Honest to god. - ****.
My gosh, guys, get me out of here.
My god, dude.
Get me out of here now, holy crap.
Dude, I feel like I'm gonna puke, to be honest.
Seriously?
- I'm not even kidding, yeah. - You're really red.
Let's just take, like, a minute here, like, a breather,
And then we'll go back in and see if we can face it again.
Okay, so we just got done walking through the north hall,
And we were hearing all sorts of audible noises.
I --
That was the elevator shaft, dude.
I can't even talk.
I can't even get a word out here.
What I was trying to say was we found red's cell, cell 21.
We started doing a digital recorder session.
It kept cutting us off.
We weren't able to actually do a successful
Digital recorder session, and the recorder died.
Then, out of nowhere, I felt the biggest burning sensation
I've ever felt on my back.
I felt like something, like, took its hand and just, like...
Me across the back.
It looked like either burns or whip marks.
This place is no joke.
It's not letting up, and north hall has lived up
To the stories so far.
It doesn't even make sense.
I think the reason it was picking on you
Is because you were the one asking the questions.
- Do you think it was red? - I think so.
I mean, it was in his cell.
All right, so right now,
We are entering the south hallway.
This is different.
This looks like a whole different type of building.
Dude.
Yeah, no cages and a lot more open.
- Check it out, you guys. - No way.
This is old sparky. This is it.
This is the real electric chair.
Nine people were killed on that.
Yep, nine people were killed right on this chair.
If there is somebody here, can you do something?
Can you make a lot of noise?
Is your battery about to die or something?
No, why?
It stopped recording.
- Why didn't it tell me? - I don't know.
I just got dripped on. I think it's right here.
- What? - Did you get spit on?
- By what? - You did get dripped on.
Wait, what?
Tanner just got dripped on, okay, what?
Didn't sherri say she got spit on?
Yeah, sherri did say she got spit on.
Did you just get spit on, tanner?
I hope not. What the ****?
- What? - What?
There's no water marks anywhere. Look at this.
Like, literally, this is where I'm standing,
And there's no, like, water marks or anything.
I think you got spit on.
Is there somebody up there?
- Nothing. - Nothing.
- Just spit. - Great.
This place, it's showing physical evidence.
When I saw the scratch on dakota's back,
It completely freaked me out.
I've never seen that ever in my entire life,
And to have all those lashings there,
Especially with the story of the kicking jenny,
It just can't be a coincidence.
Are they still on my back?
Here, turn around.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, dude.
Man.
- You okay? - I'm okay.
I just, like, don't get it. I do not get it.
The energy in here is aggressive.
It's violent, and I don't think it likes us being here.
All right.
So right now, we are going to split up into groups of twos.
Did that say, "help me"?
I think it did.
- Holy **** dude. - Are you kidding?
All right, so right now,
We are going to split up into groups of twos.
Me and chelsea are gonna start in the boiler room,
And tanner and alex, you guys are going to go the sugar shack.
Being with two people is a lot different.
- Are you guys ready for this? - Yeah.
Let's do it.
Crap, I'll be honest.
I'm not looking forward to this one.
Dude, this is so weird.
I keep getting the chills everywhere even though
It's, like, 110 degrees.
- Right? - Look at that.
My gosh. Look at that.
I think this is it.
- Gross. - Is this it?
Yep.
This looks like the sugar shack.
This is the one room that guards kind of left them alone.
The inmates wreaked havoc in here.
I mean, there were rapes. People got beat up.
It's called the sugar shack
Because it was very derogatory towards what happened down here.
I have a digital recorder in my hand.
Rolling on the digital recorder in the sugar shack.
Is there someone down here with us?
Do you know what this room's nickname is?
What happened down here?
All right, I'm gonna cut on the digital recorder.
Do you know what the room's nickname is?
What happened down here?
Did that say, "help me"?
I think it did.
...Said, "help me."
Are we talking to a victim, maybe?
What happened down here?
- "Help me." - It said, "help me," yeah.
"Help me."
It was like a cry for help.
- Yeah. - Should we do another one?
- Yeah. - We heard your voice.
Did someone hurt you?
Can you explain what they did to you down here?
All right, I'm gonna stop.
Did someone hurt you?
Can you explain what they did to you down here?
- Rape. - Rape.
Holy **** dude.
Are you kidding me? We just got "rape."
Can you explain what they did to you down here?
That is what this room is known for.
- Like, that's intelligent. - Yeah.
Can you imagine helpless some of these people felt down here?
My god.
Here we go.
We're going down into the boiler room, which used to be
The hole where people were thrown for solitary confinement.
This is freaky, dude. I don't want to go down there.
Boy.
It's hard to see anything down here.
Like, there is nothing.
You can't see any light from the outside world.
We are just locked in.
This is where the inmate rd wall was murdered.
He snitched on several inmates, and they stabbed him to death
While he was down here alone, and they say that his spirit
Still haunts here, attacking people.
I'm gonna turn on the ovilus, I think.
Rd, you can use that device.
We just want to verify the stories
That you actually are still down here.
So location-wise, this is sitting right
Below the north hall.
Yeah, so let's just keep walking,
And if he wants to communicate, he can.
I'm gonna set this up as wide.
- What'd it say? - "d."
It said, "d"? Rd, chelsea, rd.
What the -- it just says a letter.
I've never seen it just say a letter.
It just said, "d," d.
I think that's confirmation that he's down here.
Wait. Was he the one that was almost decapitated?
Yeah, he was.
What were you doing down here when you were murdered?
Who killed you?
It hasn't been saying anything.
It hasn't said anything since, just "d."
- That's all we got. - Just "d."
Just a "d."
Can you tell us any more about how you died,
What you were doing down here?
What did they use to kill you?
- What? - "metal."
- Metal. - Are you kidding me, metal?
- No, god. - Are you serious?
You just asked.
Metal, I mean, they say he was killed with homemade knives,
So that had to be metal.
Dude, I cannot be down here anymore.
Okay, no, just relax. Relax.
We need to not show fear.
We are not scared of you.
- Yeah, right. - We're not gonna run.
If that's what you want us to do, you're gonna
Have to scare us out of here.
I wouldn't have said that.
You're not supposed to talk.
You're not supposed -- especially in the boiler room.
Okay, I'm done talking, crap.
That was you, not me.
- I do not know him. - My sister.
No, don't even -- why... This is you.
It is your problem.
I didn't try to talk.
I'm sorry, but we're not gonna run with all due respect.
I feel like sometimes, you get so caught in the moment
That you don't even know that, like, what you're saying --
- I know. - ...Could be terrible.
Should we try to check in with dakota?
- Yeah. - We might even be out of range.
Yeah, let me try down here.
Tanner for...
- Hey! - My god.
Go for dakota.
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, a little bit, actually, hold on one second.
We're gonna step outside the sugar shack
For better reception.
Okay, copy you.
Gosh, that was weird.
I can't believe that.
Honestly, dude, what the hell?
We have been walking around the penitentiary now
For over six hours,
And we have had so many creepy encounters.
Dude, they're still there.
- Still there? - They're definitely still there.
Almost six hours now, and I still have scratches on my back.
It's got me nervous now because we're all about
To go separate and sleep alone, and whenever that happens,
The activity seems to increase...
My camera just died.
...And we're all gonna be in a very vulnerable position.
- ****. - But yeah, I'm scared.
I'm scared of this place
- Holy ****. - What the hell?
We are about to go sleep separately.
We want to face our own fears.
This is part of the challenge of this whole road trip.
We're gonna be alone.
We're gonna be alone for several hours,
Which I believe, personally, that when you're vulnerable
And you're alone that it opens a whole new door
For possibilities of paranormal encounters.
I hate this part of it.
So we've all agreed on the four scariest locations,
And that is the north hall outside of red's room.
I got scratched on the back.
The north hall is by far the scariest.
The next scariest location is the sugar shack
Underneath the south hallway.
That is where, tanner and alex, you guys got an evp
That said, "rape," down there -- yep.
...Which is exactly what happened down there.
Can you explain what they did to you down here?
The third scariest location is the boiler room
Underneath the north hallway.
The boiler room is where a man named rd was murdered.
That's where people report to be attacked,
And the last scariest location
That we've agreed on is the south hallway.
That's where tanner got spit on earlier.
Did you just get spit on, tanner?
Right now, tanner is gonna write out
The four scariest locations.
We're going to draw out of a hat.
Here is my hat, and that's where you go to sleep
For the rest of the night.
I say alex draws first. You draw first.
No sugar shack, no sugar shack...
Dude, I don't want the north hall.
I got the north hall.
This is definitely the worst one I've ever gotten.
I was scratched down there.
Dude, I am so glad you got this.
This is the only one I didn't want.
- You're really glad. - I refuse to go back there.
Chelsea, do you want to go?
I don't want the sugar shack. I don't want the sugar shack.
Here she goes. What'd you get?
Boiler room.
Chelsea got the boiler room,
So whatever tanner gets is what he gets,
And whatever he doesn't get is what I get.
All right. What'd you get? What?
- Sugar shack. - The sugar shack.
- You got the sugar shack? - ****.
So tanner and alex both got the worst ones tonight.
To be honest, there are so many accounts in the boiler room.
Yeah.
Where did it happen? The boiler room.
I feel like we're underestimating
My spot a little bit.
I got the south hall.
Tanner got the sugar shack,
So that means I got the south hall.
- You guys ready for this? - Not at all.
No, me neither.
Sugar shack, I am in the most
Notoriously violent room in the whole entire prison,
So I'm a little nervous. All right.
I'm gonna show you guys just how dark it is.
Okay, you see that? Of course, you don't.
It's pitch-black because it's pitch-black in here.
All right, so right now, I am sitting in the south hall,
And earlier, when we were here as a group,
Tanner was standing right where this camera is,
And he felt something drip on his shoulder,
And we looked, and it looked like spit.
Now that I'm alone, I'm, like, shaken up.
I'm, like, really scared right now.
All right. Good luck.
Thanks, good night.
Good night.
So I'm currently sleeping in the boiler room,
Otherwise known as the hole.
I am scared of being alone
And not having anyone here with me right now.
I rely so heavily on the guys to, you know,
For their support, and I'm just gonna sit here
For a while and just look around.
God,
I just got to my sleeping location.
I'm in the north hallway.
My feet are literally going to be in red snyder's jail cell.
Not only is this one of the scariest spots, it's, like,
Probably over 100 degrees in here right now.
I definitely think that it's true,
The superstition that if you die in this prison, you stay here.
Okay, so what I'm gonna try to do
Is do another digital recorder session.
We're in the same room that dakota got scratched,
So I'm gonna ask a few questions,
And maybe, I can try to figure out some answers for him.
This is digital recorder session in red snyder's jail cell.
Nothing, digital recorder session two
In red snyder's jail.
Nothing, I really think that the reason
We're not picking anything up on this
Is because red and whoever else is here,
They're probably not big talkers.
They're probably more of people that speak with their actions.
He wants us out of here.
I don't think we're gonna get anything
Out of the digital recorder anymore.
All right, so I have the ovilus in my hand.
...To use this device.
I'm going to be down here all night.
Is there someone down here with me?
Okay, I just heard footsteps in here,
Not around here, in here.
Was that your footsteps I heard?
It just said, "sneak."
Were you sneaking around?
Yo, dude, are you walking around right now?
No, I am not moving an inch.
That was loud. That was loud.
There's, like, footsteps above me.
Dude, I just heard a really loud noise.
This place is starting to freak me the **** out.
Me, too, dude, like, I am more scared than I usually am.
Dude, did you hear that thump?
No, I'm way at the end.
You're, like, towards the middle of the whole building.
I'm way up here.
You're really not hearing that above me,
Not walking above me?
**** **** holy ****.
I just heard it.
Why is my camera blinking red? My camera is blinking red.
My camera just died.
Okay, so chelsea's camera just died.
I hate this.
I hate this so much.
My camera just died.
Okay, so chelsea's camera just died.
I hate this.
**** alex.
I think I scared alex.
That was chelsea. Chelsea?
Dude, you scared me.
I scared you?
- Yeah. - My god.
Seriously.
I don't want to go back. I hate it up there.
That's one of the scariest spots, for sure.
It's so claustrophobic.
God.
What the **** was that?
Okay, so that sounded like another cell door shutting.
Are you trying to get my attention?
Can you do that one more time, please?
One more time.
What the hell?
Hello?
What the hell was that?
My god!
It's 6:15 in the morning.
I'm going to go wake up tanner and chelsea and alex.
Damn, look at this.
It is the daytime. **** ****.
- That was so messed up. - That was scary, man.
Man, this place is creepy as hell.
This is weird to see in the daytime now.
We haven't seen this yet in the light.
All right. Should we get back to base camp,
Get everyone else up?
- Let's do it. - Get out of here.
Chelsea?
Let's get your stuff.
Nothing on the digital recorder.
Dude, whatever is over here does not want
To talk in the digital recorder.
I feel like it wasn't gonna give us a reaction
No matter what.
Let's get out of here.
You know, when I first started this,
I don't think I ever expected it to come this far.
Seeing those slashes on my brother's back,
When you see someone you really care about actually get hurt,
It snaps you right back into perspective
That what you're doing does have repercussions.
That was the most concerning thing
I have ever been a part of.
Something that wasn't there physically hurt dakota,
And I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it.
What happened in red's cell definitely changed him.
No one felt safe after that.
What the hell happened last night?
I'm starting to...
We're starting to bite off more than we can chew.
Are they still there? Are the burns still there?
Let me look.
I mean, they're starting to go away.
I mean, there's one right there
And one right there that's still there.
It felt like someone took, like, a hot pan,
Like a burning hot pan,
And just, like, smacked me on the back.
No one's a superhero here.
There is a limit that a human can take.
All this time, I've been focusing on how much
This gonna affect them,
And maybe deep down, this was more of a test for myself,
How much I can handle, how much I can withstand.
I am starting to doubt whether or not it is smart
To go on anymore.
But this has got me worried, like, really, really worried.
If we encounter something worse than this, it's over.
I'm tapping out.
Like, it's not worth it if we go insane.
