Old Idaho State Penitentiary Reviews
Boise, ID 83712
I went to this area with my family around 2 weeks ago. Although I didn't see or her any spirits, I definitely felt their presence. I only felt the presence of any 'negative' spirits a few times... They were all mostly harmless. They didn't seem like they really want to reveal themselves to visitors. I had a migrane the whole time, and some of the buildings had made me feel nauseous to the point that I had to run outside. Overall, it was a great experience!

It was not very fun. It seemed like any normal prison, and I didn't see much, only the old cells. The shop was pretty nice.

a friend and i went to the old pen a few months ago with some friends and brought ghost devices because we thought why not we brought a Ouija board, a emf, and rods we went up to the room were they hung people for their death sentence, when we got out the board we tried playing it but nothing happened we tried again 15 min later still nothing later we tried again and the emf went off and went all the way to red and the board started spelling out random letters and words that im pretty sure was in latin and one of my friends she took her hand of the palette (which is something your not supposed to do) and i guess the spirit got mad like really mad and possessed her we had to call a priest and hold her down shes fine now. just in a mental hospital

I was walking one night before Halloween in the Old Pen. My brother and I and his girlfriend at the time were visiting the area at night. We looked up to a tower above and saw a man figure of a ghost in the window. It was really dark out and nobody was there working or around besides us. It was glowing bright white. This was before cell phones and great cameras back in early 2000s. We ran from the area and didn’t return since.

Ran into a red hair young woman at the bishop house. A friend an I we're sitting in the gazebo.
We heard old band music. Then she came dancing by. I named her Scarlett.
