Reporting in from the Ohio Paranormal Conference here in Dayton, OH. I spoke this morning to a full room and had a great crowd asking about writing, the paranormal, and my travel adventures.
Last night, we investigated Mansfield Reformatory and got some very interesting evidence. Most exciting was an EVP in a closet int he Warden’s quarters where his wife accidentally died from a gunshot wound. As I say, “I’m going into the closet,” a woman’s voice says, “Hellllllllo there!” Pretty cool.
Mansfield has been closed since 1972 and the last prisoner was transferred in 1990, but you can still get a very clear sense of what life must have been like for the inmates. Their cells were tiny (like work cubicles!) and the inside of the cell blocks resembled what a fifty-year sunken cruise ship might look like at the bottom of the sea.
Have you ever been to Mansfield? What did you think?
