The Old Main New Mexico Penitentiary is considered one of the most haunted prisons in America. After a bloody prison riot in 1980, people have claimed to see shadow people and experience paranormal activity. Is it haunted? Listen and you decide!

When was this prison built? How many riots happened here and what happened at the 1980 riot? What were some of the significant executions that happened here? Do people see shadow people and feel an ominous presence when in Cell Block 4? Are there explanations for the paranormal activity experienced here?
