Some places feel haunted the moment you step inside. The Old Paulding Jail in Paulding, Ohio, is one of them. Built in 1876, this Victorian-style landmark has stood for nearly 150 years, collecting not just history, but something else. Something unseen.

Over the years, visitors have reported shadows sliding across the walls when no one is there, phantom footsteps pacing through the halls, and voices calling out from empty cells. Investigators have captured chilling EVPs, sudden equipment malfunctions, and unexplained cold spots that leave no doubt they’re not alone. And then, of course, there’s Charlie—the jail’s most famous ghost. Said to be a former inmate who never truly left, Charlie is known for his playful pranks, sudden appearances, and the unsettling feeling that you’re being watched.

In this episode, we’re joined by Shelly Robertson, owner of the Old Paulding Jail and first-hand witness to its many hauntings. Shelly takes us inside one of Ohio’s most paranormally active locations. If you’re brave enough, step beyond the bars and into the shadows of the Old Paulding Jail.
