There are several places you wouldn't want to walk through at night. Downtown St. Louis, some parts of Kansas City and, oh, the Old Missouri State Penitentiary would be places to avoid. One team of investigators didn't listen to that advice and took a terrifying night walk through that haunted Missouri place and shared pictures and video of what happened.

It was last October that The Paranormal Files did an investigation of the old Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City. Here's how they described their time there:

"This place is HAUNTED. AND it's one of the scariest locations we've EVER filmed at."

The Missouri State Penitentiary has been described as the bloodiest 47 acres in America and that sounds accurate when you factor in the loss of life and sheer brutality that so many experienced there. That's one reason why these old grounds have regular paranormal tours available. There's so much dark energy that resides there that the sadness feels tangible - almost like you can reach out and touch it.
