Me and my friends were goofing around in death row alone when I decided to take a few pictures. I locked my friends in Whalen's cell then backed up toward the doors that leads to death row. I took two pictures in the same spot. Since I have a digital camera I looked to see what I got. In one of the two pictures there were white circles and orbs and in the other there was none.

I was walking down ?death row? and I swear I saw someone in a long, black cloak and when I walk by they waved and said ?Hi there? in a very squeaky voice and it was in the cell where they say all the creepy stuff happened? and it really creeped me out. But I think it was part of the ghost walk.

I came back to the hostel at 3:00 AM. I was neither drunk nor hallucinating. I was alone in the lobby typing e-mail, when I heard ghosts walking in the wall behind me (behind the front desk). It was very clear and unmistakable (Just like what you would hear in a horror movie). The rest of the morning didn't get less scary. I went on my jail cell floor (#4). Too scared to use the bathrooms on this floor because of earlier that day. I heard of a story that had appeared just the week before. An Australian school teacher (not one to fabricate stories) had been in the bathrooms on floor #4 (my floor). She saw a woman wearing only a blanket that went over her head. When the woman turned around, the Aussie hosteller saw that this woman had no face. So needless to say, after hearing the ghosts in the lobby, I was expecting to see this faceless woman in the 4th floor bathroom. Too scared, I went to the 5th floor bathroom. The pipes started to bang very loudly - and mysteriously stopped banging when I left the bathroom. The same thing happened when I hurried up and escaped to use the bathroom on the 7th floor.

On the 7th floor on our way up to going to see this noose thing, my 3 friends and I all of a sudden stopped and we heard ?Help me. Help me? and we freaked because we were not expecting it. We still have 3 more nights left here and we haven't even spent our first night here, I'm so excited.

Upon arriving for the first time to my cell one afternoon, I found an older gentleman lying in the bunk below mine. I said hi and went off to discover Ottawa. I didn't see him there that night, nor was he there in the morning. Later in the afternoon I spotted him sitting in the hall on my level. Again later, he was lying in his bed. He asked me if I was leaving? to which I replied that I was ?sentenced to 2 nights?? he didn't get the joke and simply replied that he would be there for some time. I left again to explore the city. Tonight, I went to my room to pack and I could swear there was nobody in the room. When I heard the old man tell me that I could turn on the light to pack. I grabbed my bags and took them into the hall to pack. I went wandering downstairs and returned an hour later.

The Man was gone! His bed was cleared!

Both the man and his belongings were nowhere to be found!
Could it be that he was the ghost of a former prisoner unable to leave the prison? I never saw him outside his cell or the hall. I never touched him and he seemed to always appear out of nowhere. Why would he be there in mid-afternoon? It's like he couldn't leave. Truly Spooky! I slept in the lounge?

Last night, about 3:30 AM, I was walking past death row with my roommate and commenting on how stupid I thought it was for Whelan to have busted a cap in McGee's ass instead of poisoning him. I got a really creepy vibe shortly thereafter, and all of a sudden, got a nosebleed. Later the 2 of us went through death row and took 2 way radios with us to talk to our other roommate. As soon as we opened the door to death row, my radio started to make a howling sound, which got louder the closer we got to cell 4 (the one in the middle with the steel doors). CREEPY AS HELL!!

It was last week, maybe Tuesday, I don't remember? I went to the backyard at night to take some photos. When I got there I saw a small group of people (like 5 or 7) going out through the other door. I took some photographs and then I heard some strange noises? I ignored them, but I was starting to get scared because those sounds kept repeating? So I decided to leave and get our through the door the other group did, but when I got there the door was locked with a chain. I really couldn't open it? so how did those guys get out? It was really impossible!!! Now I was freaking out? They just couldn't go through the door!!. I said sarcastically, or could they?? Creepy?

During the night, around 2:30 AM in cell #6, level 4, me and my friend were playing cards on one of the bunks. Across from us, our friend was sleeping, and our other friend who was also staying with us had gone out for a smoke. We had covered the barred doors with a blanket, and I personally closed the door tight shut. I was sitting on the bed (bottom) and covered the opening if the bunk with another blanket. While we were playing cards, something or someone had been touching, more like pushing me on my back. I tried to ignore it and kept thinking it was my coat, so I adjusted my coat back, and it happened again. Me and my friend heard a squeak, but no footsteps or anything. It was dead quiet. As soon as the last push from whatever it was had finished the blanket covering the bunks had dropped. I, already scared, didn't tell my friend what was bothering me so I wouldn't scare her. So, as the blanket dropped, as a reaction, I looked at the door, and as it was wide open. I thought it was wide open. I maybe thought it was one of the girls, but one of them was downstairs in the common room and the other was still passed out cold. My reaction to it was that something or someone did not want me to stay in that cell. And, on that same hour, one of our chaperones were called back asking why we didn't say anything or what did we want, but it wasn't us who called. We checked the cell phone's previous outgoing calls and his number ( supervisor) was not dialed. We still don't know who called him, and I still ended up staying in that cell, and staying in that same bed.

I was in my cell, fast asleep, having these weird dreams, then I suddenly felt like someone was beating me up, woke up and expected someone to be punching me but no one was there, this hadn't happened to me before so weird.
