Pennsylvania where the Old Jail stands. Chambersburg was burned in 1864 by Confederates. In 1880 the jail was expanded to include brick walls, basement dungeons and gallows and colonists were also around. In operation from 1600's-1913 and there were executions by hanging which attracted large crowds of onlookers. Each County was responsible for its own executions. Hangings were common in this town but Pierce and Scheffer were both convicted by murder. Something went wrong with the gallows as the crossbeam and single drop door were not high enough and the drop not fast or strong. They endured death by suffocation. A man Named William Reed killed Sarah and her body was found on the school floor. New comer to Chambersberg and was executed 30 April 1912. The gallows was loaned to Maryland and returned to Franklin County where it's still there. There were no records and in the early '70's the building was saved and became the home of Franklin Historical Society and plenty of residual energy was left behind. Nick says the gallows have absorbed much negative energy by its use. All the negative energy left behind by unfortunate souls. H will try and find how many restless souls still haunt here and why they choose to remain
Nick's told how some prisoners slept on straw and had buckets for a toilet. One man in 1856 carved an anchor and dug his fingernails into the door and clawed down the door and found him dead one day. Hidden passageways. Was part of the underground railroad as the sheriff was an abolitionist and would hide here and were transported to another place in Chambersberg. Built in 1818 it saw lots of tragedies and they see visions, shadows, door banging. People have been touched and told to 'get out.' Over ten thousand prisoners stayed from 1818 onwards. Only town was burnt by Confederates. There's a tunnel here and they haven't found it yet. From the courthouse they would take prisoners to the jail. For the underground railroad. Root cellar is like a tunnel. Don't know where the tunnel was dug under the street to the courthouse, is speculation a man was murdered by a guard and wasn't found again. Is dirt floor, could've been buried here or in kitchen area was only dirt too. Orbs have been seen, shadow figures. An eerie feeling being in the root cellar.
One cell where a man who wasn't paying child support was kept and he took his belt off and hanged himself. One day a hacksaw was heard and stopped and heard it again. On the 1818 side. Prisoners tried to saw the bars in an attempt to escape. Men and women were in the 1880 side of the prison. There were a hundred deaths, were knifed, pneumonia. Cell 17 and 18 people see something in the corner and moves when get closer to it. Lots of energy on the top floor. A man, William Reed, killed his ex girlfriend and went to get some love letters from her, his discharge papers from the Civil War and she burned them. He fired two shots from his pistol to scare her but she was found shot. A school was near and they actually waved to the children and he waved to them. Hanged in 1912 on the gallows at the jail. There's plenty of events taking place in this year.
Nick hears the metal jail door slamming shut. Confirmed it was him. A scream comes through on the equipment. Nick says he's letting everyone out and are free to go. Was that "you did," a woman's voice when he asks if he heard you? Direct Radio Voice (DRV) experiment and amplify and disrupt the energy in the environment and see if can get voices coming through. Limestone is present. He asks if someone got buried in the root cellar. Who was killed down here? "He shook my hand" comes through and "they didn't do it" when Nick asks if William Reed is here? "Executed" is heard. Another noise is heard, a door slamming. He uses the Connect camera to see figures. He wants them to use the energy he put into the environment. There was a figure where the lights were broken on the laser within the grid. Uses the audio device. He asks if that was his name from 1886 "yes." "I was hit in the head"
I think I heard "Nick." "Underground." Tells him to head "up." "Yes" when he asks if it will reach out if he puts his hand in the jail. Something hits the bar. "I'm right here." Walking is heard from upstairs. Have you moved on? "Yeah" is whispered. Another knocking sound is heard. I didn't hear any screaming. Nick hears "gallows." "I did..." "My last name is..." I heard 'Reed' come through. "I didn't do it" is what I hear. He asked if he didn't get his last words on the gallows. Or is it somebody else? Nick asks if the secret was buried here with his body parts. "It was...dungeon...root cellar."
Nick can feel emotions and energy that went through people before they died, when hanged and they passed away and he was being led through the location with so much history and bloodshed as it's still standing today. As well as Reed when he was hanged on the gallows. He went into the dungeon where someone was possibly even killed and buried and the mystery still carries on...
