Hi everyone, This is Christina andthis is MJA. Why was it about
about to like I was thinking andthis is MJ, because you were about
to say it, and then Ialmost said it and I was like,
when am I doing it? Ohmy god? Wow. Yes, it's
going to be that kind of recording, just so everyone knows the vibes.
(00:28):
And this is Spooky Tales, theepisode for All Things as Spooky, and
today we are talking about haunted jails, prisons, places where you're trapped and
you can't leave because you committed acrime. That is it really a crime?
I don't know. It depends,yes, what we're talking about.
(00:52):
All right, So before we getto the stories that we found that I
have to do with haunted prisons,I do have a listeners story to share.
And if you have a story thatyou want to send us to the
podcast, you can email at SpookyToes at gmail dot com. You can
DMA on any of the socials.You can submit it on Discord. You
can send us a voice note andthen attach that to an email. Actually
(01:15):
we have one that we haven't listenedto. I just didn't have it ready
for today. Yeah, there's alot of options to send us your stories.
Send them. We love receiving them. This one was sent to via
email. Hello a spooky. Iwas listening to the Kwahuila UFO episode just
now and had to stop and reachout once I heard the part describing the
(01:37):
white transparent being and to tell youmy eyes wide and so big. So
as you know, the meteor showerhad just occurred on the night of Saturday,
August twelve, and I had toand I had wanted to catch some
of it, so me and myguy had decided to hang out in the
backyard for a bit and see ifwe were able to catch a glimpse.
(01:57):
After a few minutes, the firstshooting starter was right and moving fast.
Excited, I told my guy,but by the time he looked in that
direction, he missed it. Anotherone passed and it was more faint,
barely visible in another direction, andagain he was too busy talking and missed
that one too. Oh my god, if you're stargazing, you got a
(02:20):
star gaze. Okay, it's nottime to chat and like she's mad,
it's time to just stare at thestart. Whenever a stargaze, I feel
like I'm falling, though, Doesanybody else get that? Sensation. I
will be honest, I physically can'tdo it. I sit there and start
falling asleep if I'm just staring upat the sky, So I would be
the one to miss everything because Iwould be busy talking. I was determined
(02:46):
to keep him focused and hoping he'dsee another star. A few minutes later,
we had both caught a glimpse ofquick flashes out of the corners of
our eyes moments apart, but indifferent areas of the sky. I had
one of my earbuds and mentioned thatI was getting interference slightly and told him
maybe because of the shower. Idon't know. I'm not a scientist,
(03:07):
L O L. By this time, mosquitoes were feasting on her flesh,
and we were debating whether to headinside or stayed longer. I had casually
asked him if he ever just talksto the universe. He asked, like,
what talked to God? And Isaid, no, like out into
the world, just asking it todo something like a wind to blow,
or trees to move, that kindof thing. He laughed, and we
(03:30):
just kept talking. Eventually decided tohead back inside the house. We turned
towards the gate and had stopped becausewe seen something in the sky flying floating
above us. To me, itlooked like a very bright white bird type
figure slightly transparent. To him,it looked more like a white, transparent
jellyfish figure. Keep in mind,it was very dark outside after midnight.
(03:55):
Birds aren't normally active for that lateat night, and the ones in our
areas do not look like anything likewhat we had seen. What was clear
is that the bright color was acontrast against the dark sky, and it
appeared out of nowhere, flew overus, and then just faded out like
it was saying hey bit, likeit was saying, hey bish, you
(04:18):
wanted to fuck around and find outmoment here you go. Universe answered,
we weren't scared, but more inawe and to be honest, tripping the
fuck out trying to make sense asto what it was. All we knew
is that it wasn't normal, andjust the combo the meteor shower occurring the
(04:39):
timing of me asking Universe questions,I don't know, I've kind of fallen
into a rabbit hole these past twodays. And hearing that part of your
podcast mentioning the entity being white andtransparent was just another dot for me to
connect. I listened to it thismorning and immediately started writing this. First
of all, I love this energylike I haven't done now. I love
(05:00):
that just letting me know what weexperienced. I've had other things happen different
from this little occurrence, but atleast he also seen it. Although we
can't agree on what we saw sinceit looked very different to each of us,
we're still in agreement that it wassomething. Sorry from the ramble,
It's just how my brain works.Hopefully you were able to follow along.
Love you guys and your content.Giggles said question everything. I'm here for
(05:24):
it all five stars all day.Fuck that one star rating. I'll be
in contact with more experiences which aremore detailed. This one was just short
enough to quickly share. Have anamazing day, Yoli. That story was
so funny though the way there waswritten. I loved it. I last
I was. I was like intrance, like what was that glowing thing?
(05:47):
Like wow? And there's so manylike uh like stories like that too.
Yeah. A lot of people say, like these weird, like translucent
things in the sky that almost lookedlike something like animals. I don't know
if you hurt that really yes,they're like they're like people describe them like
flying jellyfish. Oh my god,well he saw a jellyfish and she saw
(06:12):
like a what is it like aperson? Almost Now I have to yeah,
but do you hear that too?But it's like, hold on,
now, I have to find it. Let me, let me, let
me search for it. Yeah.People see like these like almost like atmospheric
creatures in the sky or what isdescribed as it, And I'm trying to
find it because I hear about itall the time, like with UFO sightings.
(06:33):
But it's like a jellyfish or somethingakin to a sea creature that looks
like a jellyfish, but instead ofin the water, it's in the sky
flying. Wow. Uh there's afew sightings like that. Damn okay,
And that's why people are like theirtheories that there's actually animals in our atmosphere
(06:56):
that we don't know about for sure. Wow. The is yeah. I'd
be dripped off though too. Samesame Now why is Kobe barking a what
a mess today? I also thoughtwe had eggs so I could just make
spam rice and eggs because that takeslike fifteen minutes. But no, I
don't have any good. It isdelicious. It's my favorite thing to make
(07:16):
when I'm in a rush and I'mlike, add some seed it, yes,
I oh seaweed. Yeah, it'samazing. I love it so much,
like spam is SUBI. Yeah,I'd love spam SUBI. I don't
understand the hate hatred toward spam bysomething either. I'm like, spam is
beautiful, spam is life. Like, Yes, it's so good. I
(07:40):
don't have it very often because likeit costs like an arm and a leg.
Well it's a spam. I couldcook it here, but I'm too
lazy. I order it from theHawaiian restaurant. Yes, yes, And
I don't have spam musubi often either. But I do have spam because but
I'm not gonna make spamous myself.Yeah. No, I'm like, I
don't have a bam boo roll upthing or the little boxes for it.
(08:03):
It's but I order it and whenI it's like kind of pricey tube and
I'm like, m it's a treat, but now I want them. Yeah,
oh it's so good. I loveit. I forgot I haven't gone
grocery shopping, but you know whatthe past like four days I've been eating
so good. I'm proud of myself. It's hard to stay on like clean,
(08:26):
yeah it is. I totally atebad during my daughter's birthday. It's
like it's just you know, andthey don't count. They don't the calories
don't count. No. Uh potatotacos, Oh my god, I love
Was it like like potato or wasit like no? It was like beautiful?
(08:48):
I love it. And then andthen with with the the well,
we had a boyo first, butthen we switched to let us because boy
always hurts my stomach. And thenwe eat like drown them in salsa.
Anyway, I don't know how westarted talking about this, but yeah,
let's haunted prisons. That's what we'retalking about today. I think we each
(09:13):
have like a couple prisons, right, yes, I have now yeah okay,
oh, hey, me too,and they're short. My mine as
short. Okay. Let you wantto do like one in one just little
switch us back and forth. Good, Okay, So my first one is
one of the most haunted prisons inEquavaud, probably not all of Latin America,
(09:35):
because I think every country has ahaunted prison, maybe every state.
I don't know. There's a lotof Probably. I feel like prisons are
one of those places where you're goingto find like a lot of happens because
like inmates, I mean they theygo after staff and they go after other
inmates. It's never one like fullysafe. Yeah exactly. It's like I
(09:58):
think it's hospitals or like old sanatoriumsthat were super fucked up, like the
same kind of energy where they're justyeah, they're gonna be hunted for sure.
So this is a expal. Thisis a former prison turned museum in
Quito, Ecuador, and it's veryold. The prison was inaugurated in eighteen
(10:20):
seventy five and then closed in twentyfourteen, so there were still prisoners there
in twenty fourteen, which to meis like recent. I feel like two
years ago. Yeah, it waslike, oh my god, yeah it
was like nine years ago. Yeah, almost threw up a little bit.
That's that's age. It feels likeit's not long ago, but you look
(10:46):
at the number and you're like,oh my god, what the fuck it's
almost ten years. Yeah, BecauseI'm like I was thinking, like I
was looking back at my kids picturesand I was like, it's twenty and
eighteen. I was like that waslike two years ago. And then I
entered the math and I was like, no, it wasn't. Yeah,
I'm the same way. I'm like, oh, two eighteen wasn't that long
ago? And then I look atmy town and he's like, oh shit,
he's like not a toddler, he'sa kid now, he's almost five.
(11:07):
So yeah, obviously it's been morethan two years. Sammy's too,
like there's no way. But man, having no sense of time, no
time perception either, I think it'slike last year. And then you're like,
wait, it's like six years ago. What wait, it's been ten
years to wait my high school wasthirteen years ago? What wait? No,
(11:30):
my high graduation That's what I meant. You guys already had your reunion.
Nobody went to hours. They madea Facebook group to planet. So
I graduated in twoy ten. Soyou add ten years and you're at twenty
twenty, like the mid pandemic.Nobody went. There was no way,
(11:52):
and I graduated two thousand and nine. I think it was like obviously the
year before years, but nobody fuckingwent. I'm like, what I see
everybody outside of like, uh thehigh school now, like and you see
everybody's updates like on Facebook or socials, so it's like, why am I
going to see you? Yeah,especially if you're still like local in the
(12:13):
area, like there's people you stillsee anyway. I don't. But I
was like, I'm not gonna goall the way just for this anyway.
But then it was a pandemic andI was like, I'm not gonna go
anyway. And then the two ofyou, that's yeah, right, I'm
going paying like one hundred dollars toYeah, I'd rather go to like a
restaurant I like and see the twofriends. Yeah. So yeah, close
(12:39):
to the twenty fourteen way too reason. And this is what is known as
a pen optical prison. And whenI first saw the word and I was
like, what is this. I'venever seen this word. Yes, what
is that? I don't know this. So it's a circular prison. Oh
what sells arranged around a central wellfrom which prisoners could at all times be
(13:03):
observed. And then when I lookedat the word again, I was like,
oh, yeah, that makes sensebecause pan, like you can pan
when you kind a picture, youmove it, you know, from in
all directions. And then optical likeyeah, you know, I was like,
I guess I could have used mycontext whatever. But yeah, so
they made it's like the walls arearound so that they could look down on
(13:24):
their prisoners basically, and apparently someof the worst prisoners in Ecuadorian history have
stayed here. So yeah. Andthe prison was named after the former president
Gabriel Garcia, and he was presidentat the time. He's the one who
(13:45):
ordered the construction of the prison.He was inspired by La Sente prison in
Paris. I can't say, Ican't see French words and not do a
fake French. Actually, it's likea mandatory. It's pretty sure it's sacrilege
if you don't do it. Yeah, yeah, And that's one of the
(14:07):
most famous prisons in Paris, apartfrom like the Bastille or I don't know,
I don't know how to say thatANYWAYSTI the Bastille. No, I'll
stop. So, and this isn'tthe first time that we hear of,
you know, presidents in Latin Americawanting to base their buildings on European buildings,
(14:28):
just like the other place we talkedabout. That place was fucked up,
the La Casta, the Castagne.I don't remember, but yeah,
I know it's something like that.Yeah, say, the same thing.
They were inspired by Europe here inspiredby the most stupid things. Yeah.
And it's rumored that he wanted thedoors, the cells, the walls,
(14:52):
everything black so that the prisoners wentand see any type of lights, any
type of bright color, anything thatcould make them happy, which is messed
up. Each cell is almost twentytwo squared feet and they were made to
hold two people per cell, butof course that didn't happen. Each cell
(15:13):
had fifteen to twenty prisoners living insideof it, which is a lot.
The prison is sectioned in two five, and I think that's like because the
scent. Yeah, the sanatorium hadthe same thing where it said it was
sectioned into But I'm like, I'venever heard that in English. But I
mean our places being sectioned into pavilions. I always yeah, I always thought
(15:37):
of put a pavilion like a Idon't even know. Let me see what
comes to mind when I hear theword pavilion. Oh my god, hold
on, I can't die and Ican't spell. Apparently, pavelion in the
summer house or other decorative building usedas a shelter in a park or a
large garden you. Okay, thismakes sense. I was gonna say,
(16:02):
I think of like when you goto the park, when you have a
party at the park and there's athing covering, That's what I think of.
Yeah, so that's that's pretty muchwhat it is. But I'm I'm
guessing like when they mean pavilions,it's sorted into like these little rooms or
like house like rooms. Oh yeah, yeah, or like a maybe like
a tower, Tom could Yeah,it could be a guard. It's just
(16:25):
tower. It's like a little placewhere they work at. Yeah. That
is also a the little the guardpavilion is shown as being like a tower
to overwatch. This makes sense.Yeah, so yeah, I mean there's
just the different different areas I guess. So each pavilion had different types of
(16:47):
criminals. So Pavilion A that's whereyou would find the nantes, the politicians,
the bankers, important people that committedcrimes or high profile people, but
that didn't like murder anyone, Okay, it was like side Yeah, Pavilion
(17:07):
C, D and E held theminor crimes, so like drug possessions,
whatnots, things like that. PavilionB that was the most dangerous one.
This is where the violent criminals wereheld people imprisoned for murder, rape,
other violent crimes, and Pavilion Bcontained one hundred and fourteen cells. Each
(17:30):
cell had fifteen to twenty men percell. And so some of the people
that were in Pavilion B. Haveyou heard of a monstro Los Angeles,
the Monster of the Andes? Ihave not. What is that? Oh?
So this is a serial killer,perhaps one of the most prolific ones
(17:52):
in La in America. His namewas Pedro Alonso Lopez. Actually, I
don't know if he's stole a livebecause I don't care about him. And
he raped and murdered at least threehundred girls in Colombia, Peru, Oh
my god, Yeah, and Ecuadora lot. I believe. I believe
Lenanias has an episode on them,if anyone wants to listen to it.
(18:15):
I don't know that I'll ever coveranything like that heavy crimes. Another one
is Daniel Camargo. He's another serialkiller that was in Pavilion B. He
raped and killed at least seventy womenin Ecuador. Wow. And he was
actually killed by another prisoner when hewas in Pavilion by Hiovanni ar Cecio no
(18:41):
Guerra Haramo. Oh my god,name very long. Yes, he he
decapitated Daniel Camargo, That's how hekilled him. And then he cut off
Daniel Camargo's ear and then wore itas a trophy for a year. Was
so out of like left field.Yeah, that's took, that's a turn.
(19:07):
Another famous criminal and Pavilion B wasDante Crino and he was a scammer.
Apparently at some point he sold awhole street in Gai and it was
not his street to sell, Like, how the hell do you sell a
street to someone? And then heescaped prison three times, oh my god,
(19:29):
one time dressed as a nun.So maybe a good case to cover
in the future if we want to, you know, to dip our toes
back into a true crime. Andit's just so like random, yeah,
as a nun. The mention ofthe prison escape reminds me of the guy
that just recently escaped and he wasjust caught. Just see that video.
(19:52):
Oh yeah, and I heard thatthere was another one another. Oh god,
it's shipped together from the same prison. Yeah, I don't know,
from the same prisons from the samestate though, Oh damn. Yeah.
The way that guy escaped was wild. He like literally just climbed Wait he
did such a heinous crime? Didhe? I didn't look at it?
(20:17):
Murdered his girlfriend in front of herchildren. Wow, While I'm glad he
got And then the whole his wholecommunity was trying to like help him cover
it up. I guess what,like the like you know, like the
peoples and his people in his life. Yeah, the people in his life,
and then like also I think peoplefrom like his area where he lives
(20:40):
in. Oh, but how heescaped was fucking wild. Yeah, this
is this is the one that justlike climbed up like Spider Man. Yeah,
yeah, wild, absolutely wild.Welcome to our little Hunted break.

Pavilion B. This never belonged toa well known murderer that like the other
people that I mentioned, but it'sone of the most terrifying. This cell
(22:26):
is known as La Cella Lucifed Lucifercell. I'm here for it me too.
This cell is on the top floorof Pavilion B. It's a dark
cell with only a tiny window.Prisoners that were released later stated that apparently
people used to perform satanic rituals inthat cell. At some point, prisoners
(22:51):
used whigiboards there, like I don'tknow if they had like makeshift whigeboards that
they made themselves or what. Ona separate occasion, five prisoners were found
all all shaking on the floor withfoam coming out of their mouths. Those
same five prisoners later claimed that theysaw the Devil himself inside the cell,
which I mean, yeah, Iwould immediately start throwing up. Its terrifying.
(23:17):
The prison is now a museum andso there's no areas that are really
restricted to visitors. They can gowherever, but still people avoid the Devil's
cell and people are trying to makeit up there get sick on the No
one makes it to the cell.Apparently, people get nauseous, start feeling
sick, and a lot of peoplehave like started to uncontrollably vomit on their
(23:40):
way to the cell, like theycan't just can't enter the cell. That's
so weird, very creepy. Andof course the cell is not the only
thing that's haunted. The whole prisongives off bad vibes. People that visit
claim to that it feels like timejust stops once they enter. Others have
said that it feels like they're enteringpurgatory, like, oh, this is
(24:03):
literally hell, and everything is stillin tact from when it was a prison.
Like they moved nothing. So Icould imagine that even if you are
like closed off to the paranormal,you would go in there and still feel
like, oh, this is weirdbecause you're like stepping back into time.
Basically, they moved nothing, Likeit looks the same. They're just like
they're just gonna keep it. Yeah, Okay. Then there's been paranormal investigators
(24:33):
that visit the prison, and alot have claimed to see like shadows at
the out of the corner of theireyes, cell doors that open and close
on their own, and disembodied screamsm hm. And I was I started
to watch a whole video of likeyou know, the Urban Explorers, like
the but the ones in Spanish.There's a couple that have been to the
(24:57):
prison, and I started to watchvideos and then I forgot to finish them.
So I don't know if they havegood stories from the prison. I
don't know how people do that,Like even if it's I'd feel like I
always I'll be in danger because likea lot of them have like so much
stuff like asbestos and all that crap. Like, listen, even if it's
(25:18):
not haunted, that asbestos is terrifyingenough, Yeah for sure, all right,
So this next jail is from ourprison is from Mexico, and it's
Mexico's Black Palace, which I don'tthink we've covered. I hope not,
because then would no we have it. I looked at your notes to it.
(25:40):
Okay. It's also known as PalacioLUCUMBERI. Opened in the year nineteen
hundred as a prison. This prisonhad the reputation of being one of the
harshest environments at the time in theAmerica's trigger warning for dark themes. So
corruption was rampant at the time andthose who ran the building had no problem
(26:02):
in prisoning innocent people and having politicalprisoners. The next seventy six years,
this Black Palace saw many dark things. People died here from illness, murder,
and suicide. All the dark historyof this prison is believed to be
the reason why it's so haunted.One of the most common report is screams
that are described as people in painor being tortured. While this is terrifying,
(26:26):
there is an inmate who still appearsDoncinto is seen at night walking the
cell blocks of the Black Palace.He is said to repeat the same phrase
over and over again again oddly oddlyenough, it starts with again, Amilia
didn't come. Legend says that Hacinthowas in love with a woman named Amelia.
(26:48):
Amelia, however, betrayed him.She cheated on him, and then
framed him for murder. He didn'tdo even through all the betrayal, he
loved her, and he loved herso much he still searched for her in
the afterlife. Oh that's so sad. And another version of the story,
don Jacinto is not an inmate buta janitor. And just like the first
story, don Jacinto still waits fora million. And that is the prison
(27:14):
and it's in Mexico City, Ibelieve. Oh okay, it's no longer
in service, but people can gothere and people inside. Yeah, is
it a museum. I don't thinkit is, but let me tell check,
because I feel like sometimes it's likeone of those places that you could
just be like, what's up.Oh it is it is a museum,
(27:38):
but the entry is free. Ohthat's cool. Yeah, so it is
a museum, like you don't gotto pay anything. You just go there.
And it looks pretty like well kept. I think I sent you the
link. But looks pretty well kept, looks very clean, very pretty.
Oh. So my next one islast. This is a prison in Argentina.
(28:07):
So it's it's called La cah Okay. It opened in nineteen o four
and was located in Usai woo oosai wo Argentina us Why, I'm sorry,
I can't pronounce it. The jailwas also called last. I said
(28:30):
it was isolated from the rest ofthe country because it's stood on an island
on the most southern part of Argentina. Apparently now to resort town. Oh,
people go to high glaciers ski walkwith penguins. Yeah, this sounds
this sounds like it's an Antarctica,North South America, the North Pole,
(28:53):
that's where they're going. I thinkthey have one of the few non Arctic
penguins. I could be wrong,though. Oh, but I'm not entirely
sure, because where's the Argentina.Yeah, it says it's pretty cold over
there, but not I don't thinkanswered, But I don't know. I'm
not entirely sure South American penguins.Let's see South American penguin. Oh,
(29:19):
there are several penguins, Humble penguin, King penguin, Southern rock copper.
Oh my god, this one's socute. Just has like a little bushy
a bushy hair on top. Andhere, let me send you the picture
so you can see this this littlecutie. Look at this little penguin.
(29:40):
Oh my god, that's so adorable. So yeah, apparently you can walk
with penguin's here now, but notwhen it was a prison. What's that?
Poor prisoners? So yeah, right, they didn't get to do this.
So at one point there was likeno touristy town obviously, and this
prison was built by the prisoners,and it's The prison itself was mostly used
(30:06):
as a high security prison where officialswould house repeat offenders, high level criminals,
and political detainees. The climbing onthe island is considered to be subpolar
oceanic. Okay, this makes sensenow, which means that rain and snow
are common and temperatures range from thelow thirties to upper forties. That's cold
(30:26):
all the time, year round.Apparently, very often, the cold temperatures
actually helped keep the prison secure,since many prisoners who tried to escape would
realize that the odds were against themand they were better off going back to
the prison than freezing to death.The climbing on the island was so harsh
that many called it the Argentine Siberiaor the cursed Land. I can see
(30:52):
this now, I can see whyprisoners usually arrived on the island by boat
with shackles around their ankles, andtheir experience did not get any better from
there. Their new home consisted offive main blocks, with two floors in
each block. The cell has stonewalls and floors that were about four square
meters. Not much sun made itthrough the cell walls, and it was
(31:18):
worse because the sun was only upfor a few hours a day during the
winter, and it's made for longand cold nights, and especially because the
windows didn't close. Oh that's terrible. That is torture, literal torture.
Oh my god. Yeah, Ifeel like that's like, I understand they're
in prison, but that's like inhumaneto do that exactly, regardless of their
(31:41):
crimes. Like, yeah, seriously, and if you were one of the
unlucky ones that was sent to thisprison and it was over capacity, you
had to share that tiny, tinysail with two other inmates, which is
terrible. Or you had to sleepin horse stables that were turned into make
sure shift stills, so outside whatthe fuck? Yeah, or people,
(32:06):
oh my god, it's horrible.Prisoners were put to work here and then
a very like carpentry, mechanics,printing, shoemaking, But prisoners also took
public works for the city and wereresponsible for building the city streets, bridges,
and first train systems. Prisoners werealso in charge of cutting wood for
(32:27):
the city for the residents to use, and they didn't get to use it
themselves. Ever, it's terrible.Yeah, this prison was the driving force
behind the city's economy. And they'restill like that. You can't have wood,
sorry, we can't make fire,and you don't get you don't get
to be warm ever, warmth,forget it. It doesn't exist for you
(32:49):
anymore. But the hard labor wasnot the toughest part of the day,
apparently, because prisoners were also torturedand beaten by cards. So there was
two hundred fit the guards that workedthere and patrolling the grounds and they just
when they were bored. Their funwas like torturing the prisoners yeah. But
during the governments of Josef feliks Uriburuand Augustine Pedro Justo, the prison director
(33:15):
was Adolfo set Navas, and hehad been accused of torturing inmates on several
occasions. But I don't know ifanything was done, probably not, Yeah,
I doubt it. And it saidthat residents of the city also hurt,
screams and cries for help from theprison when it was still open,
(33:38):
and the jail closed on March twentyfirst, nineteen forty seven because of humanitarian
reasons. But when people go tothe prison now because it's a museum,
all these prisons are museums now apparently, I guess, yeah. Wow,
So people feel like a dark presentand yeah, I mean a lot of
(34:00):
horrible should happened there. Yes,it's terrible though, I mean, I
feel so bad for those people.Aside from the prison's dark past, there's
still other paranormal happenings apparently. Soone of the spirits that said to roam
the prison to this day is lancoOh. I like her name, Lea
(34:24):
Dama, not like Blanco, theLady in White or the damon White.
I guess yes, yeah, fancyname. Yeah. Supposedly this is the
mother of a former prisoner who wentthere one day in hopes of visiting her
son. When she got to theprison, she asked the guards if she
(34:46):
could see her son, and theguards told her that her son had been
misbehavior, he was in solitary confinementand could not accept visitors. But the
woman was determined to see her son, and she stood in the fridge city
and planned to try again. Duringanother attempt to see her son, guards
told the woman that her son haddied of tuberculosis. Desperate to see her
(35:08):
son, the woman somehow got pastthem and wandered the prison, and then
she was found frozen to death.Oh my god, that's so sad.
Yeah, till this day it setthat the woman and her son roamed the
prison looking for each other. Sosad. I feel like his death was
(35:30):
suspicious because they were like, ohno, And then every death inside of
her prison is suspicious to me.This woman was first spotted in nineteen seventy
eight and then again in nineteen eightytwo by guards or soldiers who lived on
the island's naval base and would helppatrol the museum. According to eyewitnesses,
(35:52):
she has red eyes, which iskind of creepy. Sounds a little more
sinister than a ghost of a momto me because of the red eyes.
No, honestly, I would tryto like reak havoc if anything happened to
my kid, and I would havered eyes too, And so red eyes,
(36:13):
long blonde hair. And she iscrying and uncontrollably when she's seen.
And apparently her spirit is so fryenythat guards tried to shoot at it when
wants to shoot at her when theysaw her. And these bullet holes are
still on the prison walls because they'llsee them. Wow. Wild. Another
spirit seen in the prison is thespirit of at Cantina's first serial killer and
(36:37):
most notable psychopath, Gaetano Santos Godino, and he is said to still roam
the prison. He was responsible forthe death of four children, but he
also had seven other attempted murders andhe tried to burn seven buildings. What
(36:58):
Yeah, His stays were spent inprison alone, and he died without confessing
to any of his crims. Hewas a target in prison, probably for
killing a kid, killing kids,multiple kids, I mean, and so
he was mistreated in prison, beatenby other prisoners, and sexually assaulted by
(37:21):
other prisoners. It's not really knownhow he died, but former prisoners say
that he was beaten to beaten todeath by other inmates after he killed a
cat that they considered a pet.In twenty nineteen, the paranormal research group
Tierra del Fuego claimed they captured hisvoice using a spirit box that was so
(37:44):
creepy, and people who visit theprison feel nauseous when they enter the main
block and they can hear whistling.I don't like it. Just something about
whistling is la. It's like it'slike it's like the stories that whenever you
hear whistling at night, it's justthe ominous sign. But like I don't
know if this happens during the daytoo, but it's just like not good.
(38:07):
Yeah, and many people believe thatthe spirits or the whistling that people
here, it's still the spirits ofthe prisoners whistling to each other like they
used to when the prison was soactive. Wow. Okay, so my
next story is again pretty sure,but it's this next hunted prison is from
(38:29):
Costa Rica and it's San Lucas Prisonand it was a maximum security prison on
an island. It was open fromeighteen seventy three to nineteen ninety one.
Nineteen ninety one, that's all.That's too long, that's too recent,
even though it's not really that recent. Yeah, and it was like it
was. It has over a hundredyears of a dark history, and being
(38:52):
sent here was a death sentence formany. The living conditions were terrible and
prisoners were It was built to holdthe most dangerous prisoners and it was built
off of the coast on an islandto make sure these prisoners stayed away from
the community. It had a notoriousreputation as being the most dangerous penitentiary in
(39:14):
the country of bost Arrica. It'scompared to Alcatraz here in the state.
It was abandoned in the nineties andis now a decrepit place. There is
graffiti on the wall that is rumoredto have been created with blood. Since
prisoners didn't have supplies, they usedwhat they had. There were many murders
during its history, both of staffand inmates, and there was a lot
(39:36):
of suicides and illnesses, so alot of death, which is said to
add to the dark energy here.There is said, Yeah, there is
said to be a ghost a nursethat still haunts the prison. According to
legend, the nurse was assaulted andmurdered by inmates, and she remains trapped
(39:57):
in this prison. Many reports seeingher as well as hearing her whisper to
them. There's also said to bea ghost of a priest. He's also
believed to have been murdered by inmates. People hear disembodied voices begging for mercy,
they hear screams, and they seeshadow people from like the thing has
(40:19):
everything from current pictures I've seen,this place should be condemned because it looks
like there's like a lot of blackmold. Now it could be paint,
but it looks like black mold tome. I think it's a little bit
hazardous, so like it's haunted anddangerous for the living. But before I
(40:44):
end this, this is I gotboth stories from Amy's crypt and it's gonna
be I'm gonna do it, orleast book recommendation. But she does spooky
travel, so she travels around theworld for her Oh yeah, I've seen
some a lot of her pictures,and yeah, that was the story that
I don't know. This prison justlooks I'm pretty sure it's black mold and
(41:06):
like it's a hundred prison. ButI ain't going in there. Yeah,
I am not breathing that stuff.And I'm pretty sure it is. I
sent you the pictures. Oh yeah, let me look at them. Looks
like black mold to me. Ohthat does look like black hole because it
doesn't look like paint. That doesnot know, But that's also like a
(41:27):
lot of mold. No, Ifeel like it is. It could be
like a very damp area. Butoh, if you guys go there,
we're like a like a respirator,like a paint respirator. That that stuff
isn't good. Yeah, that Iwouldn't want to break that in for sure.
Wow. Well yeah, and thisbrings us to the end of the
(41:51):
episode. I believe. Yes,okay, do you have any spooky recommendations?
Just to you guys, check checkout amy script dot com. I
get a lot of like haunted storiesfrom her, and we mostly cover Latin
America, but there's some really goodones from around the world. So yes,
(42:14):
spooky recommendation. I have a coupleof things. So one, I
did actually start listening to the podcastthat I mentioned two, The Exorcist Files,
because and when I mentioned it.I wasn't sure if it was an
audio drama or if it was likereal. So I have now learned that
(42:37):
all these episodes come from a vaultof a Catholic priest who was an exorcist
for the church in I forgot where, and he has a whole like vault
with files of exorcisms he did himself, and that's where all the episodes are
coming from. That is terrifying.And let me tell you obviously, so
(43:01):
it's a Catholic priest. It's veryheavily Catholic. They talk about like the
first episode is I guess spoiler alertif you haven't listened to it, forward
like a minute or so. Sothe first episode is a woman who wants
to get pregnant so bad she startsdwelling into like the occult, you could
(43:22):
say, and you know, oneof the sins one of the most worst
things you can do is dwell intothe occult in the Catholic Church. So
you're not supposed to go to mediums. You're not supposed to do all this
kind of stuff. Which is funnythough, because when you look at Mexico,
the mediumship, spirituality, it's veryintertwined, right, and it's also
(43:43):
very weird because historically Christianity and Catholicismis a very I don't want to say
magic based, but a little bitmagic based religion. You had a mixture
of like to the point where whenI studied Renaissance art in college, you
(44:04):
could see that people at the time, even priests, really believed in zodiacs
and like premonitions and ships. Idon't know when it changed, Yeah,
it like changed, I want tosay, like in the last like maybe
one hundred and two hundred years.But it was a very religion that was
very mystic and it has changed alot. And if you go to like
(44:24):
Mexico today, no one bats aneye if you say you went too or
you went to something else, ahealer of some story that was not the
Catholic Church, even the church itself, They're not going to tell you anything
because it's so common. But that'snot a thing everywhere. So this woman
went to a medium, and thisthe father himself is on these episodes talking
(44:45):
about what happened in the case.So he's like, and that's what she
did wrong. She invited like evilspirits when she did that, and she
was like desperate to become a mother, that it became an obsession and she
wasn't like happy with she wasn't okaywith what like God was giving her at
the moment, and that made invitedevil spirits in. So it's a little
(45:07):
preachy to me obviously, because butagain it like if you listen to it,
know that it's going to get preachybecause the father himself is talking on
the episodes and it's it's like catholic, you know, but it's so creepy.
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna listento that. So there's parts where
he's talking about the case, butevery episode starts out with like what led
(45:29):
up to it? Right, sopeople are acting out the things he wrote
about, and then he chimes in, the father himself chimes in, and
then you get to the part wherethe actual extracism is happening, or when
it's revealed that there's like a demoninside this person and that those parts are
so scary to me. Oh,it's so good. It is really good,
(45:51):
So I do recommend it. It'scrazy. I'm listening to that while
I cook today, Yes, doit? Do it? Yeah? Those
those parts are so creepy. Andthen my other thing is I'm so sad
I didn't get to watch it SatanicHispanics. It's out on theaters now.
I saw that. Yeah, butI was sick last week and that's when
(46:15):
the only showings that were near mein Portland were happening. And now there's
no showings near me. Apparently.It seems to be a lot of showings
in California that I because I lookedat the website, so like, as
of this week, I only seeshowings in California specifically, like southern California.
Oh yeah, it's always over there. Yeah, so there's nothing over
(46:37):
here, and it's not available tostream yet or rent or anything. But
yeah, so that's another thing.If if you, if you can catch
a showing near you, definitely checkit out. I really want to watch
it. One more recommendation before wesay goodbye. A million miles Away on
Amazon Prime. It's such a goodmovie. Oh, I do want to
(46:59):
see that. It's good. Ijust hate that he's a scientologist. Oh,
Michael Benya the main actor. Ididn't even know everybody's a scientologist.
Now it's the worst. So yeah, that brings us to the end of
the episode. I believe, allright, now actually yes, so yeah,
(47:21):
I don't know. Watch out forwhistles that night when you visit that
one prison. Yes, yes,yes, yes, and stay a spooky
