The hole is known for tragedy and our entire time there was amazing in the level of Paranormal activity...I experience several things, including being touched on the left shoulder, this felt like very mild electrical current(my account was described again by a frantic customer 3 weeks later when she was passing through solitary, she described her experience as feeling like a vibration, remarkably similar to my own description).
Also the unexplainable smell of cigarette smoke by myself and another non smoker, the scent was very strong (enough to take my breath) and located specifically to an area of about 2 1/2' in diameter(right between myself and the other girl present. The building is non smoking and we where the only two people in or around solitary.
A constant in solitary was the sound of footsteps and dramatic temperature shifts along with the feeling of being watched.
In 1932, a guard was beaten to death by an inmate with a lead pipe. I feel as though hes the one patrolling the hall. There were countless other tragic incidents in solitary though and I'm sure there are other restless souls peering out of those tiny cells. At one time the roach infested 20 cell unit contained 120 inmates.....the men lived supposedly on bread and water once every three days....the full 120 men did not leave solitary the way they went in, some left dead.

The Mansfield Reformatory is located in Mansfield, Ohio at 100 Reformatory rd. They are open seasonally for tours and ghost hunts. Definitely worth checking out. The Preservation Society can be reached here for more info. (419) 522-2644 info@mrps.org
Interesting experience. Wonder where the reformatory is located at.
