Day in Philly

Tuesday I took the day with some friends to go up to Philadelphia and check out the Mutter Museum and the Eastern State Penitentiary. My friends were going anyway and I tagged along. The rain poured down the whole time but it didn't keep us from having a great day.

The Mutter Museum is a small portion of a building that is a Medical College. I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew that it had some medical abnormalities on display and I was interested to see them but to tell you the truth..I'm not good at seeing anything like that. I get queasy very easily. I was fine until we got to the section where fetus's or babies are embalmed in jars of formaldehyde. I started to feel weak in the knees (and even now as I sit remembering it) and had to leave. My friends were already out in the lobby seated so I guess I was the straggler even though I felt I had not done the museum justice. I did get to see some dehydrated things...won't go into them...LOL...but the museum is definitely worth going to and I was amazed at all the diseases or abnormalities that can befall a person. Left there feeling very, very lucky and in awe of the medical profession.

Next stop was the Eastern State Penitentiary which I was really excited to go see. It's a tourist attraction now so no prisoner's are housed there. It is decaying and falling apart. I saw that they were trying to keep up with the decay but not doing a very good job of it. I did feel a few things...like in the portion that used to house women I got a severe pain in one of my ovaries. And in another section I got a severe pain in the top of my head. My friend Bud relayed to me right after I mentioned the pain that a guard had been axed by an inmate and killed in the block we were standing in.

We got a few good pictures.....Mandy got a couple good orb pics..one in Al Capone's cell and I got a picture with two men's faces in it and then what I see as a face in Al Capone's cell. Right near where Mandy got the orb picture. Blurry photo has the faces in it and Al Capone's cell has an image in the top of the cell door. There are conflicting views of just what that is. I'll leave that up to you.

We are planning to do a lockdown investigation at the prison in the near future. Entails going there when the place is closed and having access to more places. They only allow us four hours of time so we'll have to hone in on certain areas to investigate over others. Should be interesting.

Off to an investigation tonight of a local home in need. They've been having some strange phenomenon in their home. Wish us luck! Oh and check out our new website www.spit-investigations.com
