BONUS: Tennessee State Prison
Show Notes: Our first bonus drunk episode. This is the beginning of a mini series where Toni or Jackie research locations and inform the other of their findings while enjoying a few cocktails. These locations are ones that no longer exist, have no owner point of contact, have been destroyed, or permission was denied to visit. They felt it was still important to talk about the history of these places and the recorded paranormal occurrences.
This episode is on the Tennessee State Prison shut down in 1992. This location was also destroyed by tornadoes in 2020. Although the building has succumbed to the elements, the history is still very much alive and the girls discuss the years this place was still in operation and what still may linger behind.
