Why should you book a ghost hunt at OSR?

Ghost Hunters from around the world flock to the Ohio State Reformatory to become part of the paranormal legacy that has been so present over the course of the last 20 years of investigating at the prison. Documented shadow figures, light anomalies, quality EVPs, and full-bodied apparitions have been reported as well as the unique cases of scratching and other aggressive tendencies. While we at the Reformatory have collected these stories, we do not promote aggressive ghost hunting or intentional provoking. First and foremost we make every effort to sustain a positive and safe environment for paranormal investigators.
