ok i really wanna knoe were this gwendolyn's house is. i live right near the bristol highway an today just found out about this place?. so if you know please tell me.
I know the old prison where Death Row: The Haunted Prison used to be, now torn down, was very haunted, now where the South Precinct Police department is and it looks like their jails are, I assume. I had an experience at the old prison while I was working there in 1996 when Death Row first opened as a haunted house. Bascially, I heard chains rattling on a cell door very loudly where no once was. There were a lot of other people/actors/workers who experienced ghostly activity, like the loud cafeteria lady who saw a floating ghost coming toward her behind the counter with a pig-like face!
