MrBeast and his crew spend 24 hours inside Ohio State Penitentiary, exploring six stories of cells, solitary confinement, and a hospital while hunting for ghosts with EMF detectors. They split into teams for cash-prize dares and hide-and-seek games, documenting strange noises and EMF spikes throughout the night.
Chapters
This is the Ohio State Penitentiary, the most haunted place on Earth. With over 100 jail cells, it's 250,000 square feet of pure haunted nightmare fuel. This place is known to have one of the highest concentrations of ghosts on the planet. So I'm gonna go inside and try to spend 24 hours in here. Wait, are you guys not going with him? Nah, that's his thing. He said he would do it. Okay, so here's what we brought to help us find ghosts. We have a bunch of flashlights because you gotta be able to see them to find them. These are walkie-talkies, so me and all the can stay connected. This is a night vision camera with infrared emitter, and this next thing is an EMF detector. So if the electromagnetic frequency changes, which I don't know what that means, but this red thing will light up, that means there's a ghost. We're all geared up. Let's do this. This place used to be a 6-story prison, and it's one of the biggest prisons in America, and a lot of people died here. We'll get into why it's haunted later, but I just want you to know it is massive. We could walk around here all night and not even see the whole thing. Look at Chris by himself. What if something just takes Chris? Oh, sh— Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. Oh my God, why are you sneaking up on us, man? Dude, I don't like this anymore. That's the hallway we just walked down. Jesus, it's so creepy in here. Maybe that's why ghost hunters got so afraid. Whoa, whoa, my thing just went off. Wait, really? Did it really? Wait, it really did. No, he's not even joking. It jumped to, uh, yellow. If anyone's right here, can you touch this little black thing I have in my hand? Oh my— Tareq, you gotta— why? Why every time you see a hole, you want me to just go in there? No, I will give you $500 if you go. Look, there's a camera. No, no, I can't do that. $500. And then like for how long? 10 seconds. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. All right. Oh God. 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10. Y'all suck. Yeah, we should, we should really, we should just— oh gosh, Taylor, stop. So now that we've explored one part of the prison, we're gonna set up camp in the middle. There's still so much more to explore, like the hospital, the church, the attic, solitary confinement. There's so many other parts to this. But before we do all that, we want to set up camp. So base camp is easier to see, we brought a light. Whoa, I can see! Okay, I'm definitely sleeping here then. So Jimmy, is this your spot? How do I work a sleeping bag? Jake, can you sleep there and kill ghosts if they attack? No. What's the problem here? Jake took our sleeping bag. Okay, goodbye. Jake, stop being a bully. Get out. Make your own sleeping bag. This is our house. I slash claimed it. Dude, I hope you get haunted if you sleep on this. That's too far. Oh, I like this. It's done. The cameramen should sleep together. Jimmy, you're gonna have to offer a little more money if you want that to happen. Yeah, right. Get off of me. No, I want to be the big spoon. Hey Jake, Jake, this could be us, but you're playing. Oh baby, no, I'm not, I'm not playing. We're fueling all the fanfictions right now, and then Jimmy's just watching. All right Jake, you ready Yeah, I'm born ready. Enough meandering around, let's split into groups. Chandler, we're going to visit the hospital. You guys go visit the solitary confinement. Come here, Chandler, come on. I'm gonna scare you. Please don't. I'm going. Can I just— Jimmy, can I just hold base camp? No, like someone needs to watch this. You explore that way. I used to walkie-talkie a lot and get creeped out. So they just went that way. And we're going this way. Can I not go, please? No, you got to do it for content. Oh, you hit the— but I don't like content. I like not being scared. Yeah. Whoa, dude, this is giving me a headache. Oh, I can't see a thing. There we go. Get some light. Everything— oh, stop! He's still alive though. Wait, what if something's in the TV? Oh, it's just James Charles. Hi, sisters! Did you hear that siren? What? What? It did blink! It blinked! I saw it. Did you get it? I think I got it for a little bit. Wait, well, we gotta chase it. There was definitely like a— dude, I swear to God. Holy shit. Oh my God, dude, it's going on! It's going crazy! Yeah, look at it! Oh my— oh my God, no, we're not— I'm not— all right, there's probably something in that door though. I don't believe in ghosts, so I don't care. Although that is kind of scary. You go first. No, my light doesn't work. Lord, please help me. Oh dude, it's going the fuck off. Yeah, well keep going, follow it. Oh my God, we just went in a circle. Nice, a spooky circle. I didn't even realize it. We never went up these stairs. Yeah, it's a dead end. All right guys. Oh dude, this is like one of the hot spots. No, how do you feel? So this is solitary confinement. This is where they kept inmates like all like real close up, right? This is interesting. Oh, okay. Guys, I think I just saw— I think I just saw a person. I'm leaving. I'm actually leaving. I'm actually scared. No, don't leave me! You're in front of us, dude. Oh my God, where did that picture come from? Oh my God, no, no, no! I quit! I'm going home! I'm going home! No more! No more! No more! We— he saw something and then Josh comes in out of nowhere and scares the shit out of us. All right guys, we had to run back to base camp. We are 100% for sure we saw something or something scared us and we ran and we're scared. Okay. Yeah. Chandler's thing's been going off too, so we might join you in a minute. Yeah. I don't want to be here anymore. We're literally terrified right now. Stop being a crybaby. The tree screamed to the top of his lungs. I can't wait to see this. Come here, ghost. You're not real. Chris and them are going to try to scare us. That's what they're doing. We might have got something on camera. They're going to try to scare us. You think so? Yeah, I will beat the shit out of the person that set us up. Yeah, what'd you get? If you look at the footage, it looks like something moves when Jake's looking down the long hallway, and that's when we got scared and ran. I believe it. I mean, if we meet them at base camp, they can't like beat us to base camp. Tareq was scared, so— I bet they're trying, they're just trying to like— And Tareq's been scared the whole time, so it doesn't mean anything. Well, we're gonna keep continuing the crusade. Tell my mom I love her if I don't make it out of here. Fuck, Jake, I don't think this is the right way. You're my ghost shield. I hate these ceilings, they're so gross. Right or left? Uh, to the left. So there's a light on. What do we do? Go up there. Do we have to get back? No. Dude, I'm lost. We've been walking for like a really long time. We haven't walked for a long time. Are we going up? Sure. You go first. Ladies first. Who should go first, Chandler or me? Send Chandler. Roger. Oh yeah. And then we went up there earlier. So this place right here is the church. As you can see, there's all the chairs. Thank you, Chandler, for coming to church today. It means a lot to me that you came all the way out here to the most haunted prison on Earth. Did you know that? I'm trying to plug merch. RC riding on Titan. What was that? It should only be me and Chris. Um, there's a female voice. What was that? I don't know. So anyways, go to shopmrbeast.com and buy the new Robo Beast hoodie. Look at this sexy bad boy. It doesn't get any better. All right, Chandler, you want to go up there? No, let's do it. I don't know where I'm going. I'm going to go hide, and whichever one of them finds me will get $1,000. All right, I found a good hiding spot. Can you guys hear me? Roger, roger. Loud and clear, Jimmy. Whichever one of you find me first gets $1,000. I'm hiding. Knew you were going to say that. Have fun. I'm turning off my radio. I don't know how to turn this off. I can't, I can't turn off this. So Jimmy said Whoever finds him first gets $1,000. You're not gonna find him first, I am. Get out the way. Hold on. All right. Hey, Trick, someone's pulling your back. No, it's you, Trick. There's a ghost. Okay, I'm gonna go by you then. Thank you. Go for it. Hmm. Oh man, I don't like this anymore. I don't like this anymore. Do y'all all just want to team up and try to find him? Yeah, split it, split it. You guys, you guys, are we teaming up? He's gonna go somewhere that looks good for the shot. All right, so we checked the closet. He's not in the closet. He might be here. Right there. Oh, yay! Good job, guys! Good job! Yay! High five! Technically, I found him by using my knowledge. Look, I said Jimmy's gonna be somewhere that's easy to get to because he's Jimmy, but also somewhere that looks good for the shot. All right, we'll go back. I'm gonna hide again. That was too easy. Okay, all right, let's do it. That one still counts though, 250 each. I'm going to call Chris. I just finally got to my spot. Where are you? I'm hiding. I don't like the sound of that at all. Come find me. Oh my God, what's the prize this time? Uh, $2,000. All right, bet, let's go. $1,000. You said $2,000? $2,000. Go, go, go, go, go. You're not going to find me ever. All right, so are we doing the cameras? Me, Chandler, and these teams, and then that team. I'm hiding in a prison cell. They'll never find me. Here, we're gonna test this. I bet Jimmy's thinking about them beans. We probably need to go back to camp and then go to themselves that way. I'm thinking that Jimmy has some balls. Yeah, Jimmy, to walk around here alone and say, come find me. Calling you again. Yeah, he's calling me again. Hello? I forgot to mention you only have 20 minutes. 20 minutes? 20 minutes? It's currently 12:16. Good luck, guys. How does Jimmy even hide like this? Like, that's, that's so crazy. Is he in one of the cells downstairs, you think? Because that'll be easier to get to. But it took him a while. He was gone a while. Maybe he's just literally chilling on his phone for a minute. I kind of want to go up to like the chapel though. Chapel? Yeah, in the chapel. Let's go, let's go to the chapel. What was that? What was that? 8 minutes left. I even gave up my hand. No, we heard a loud bang. Yeah, we heard a bang. All right, we're going to keep looking. 2 grand on the line. I hear him up there. He's in a ducted off area because it sounded like he was like crouched. Yeah. Oh shoot, Jimmy just texted us. Hey, where are you guys at? I'm in a very unexpected spot is what he said. Where would we unexpectedly think he is? I really think he's still in the, uh, home base. Yes. Uh, do y'all want to run a visit at home? He said we have 5 minutes left. Good luck. Yeah, we're coming to home base. 2 minutes left. I think he's in a cell. No, we checked every single cell downstairs. He wouldn't have gone upstairs either. I don't, I don't even know where this is. Yep, time's up. Sorry, you guys all lost. I knew he was in this area. So Jimmy, where were you again? In a cell. I think I heard something. Is there a ghost down here? No, no ghost down here. Cool. This is where, uh, inmate James Lockhart Covered himself in lighter fluid and lit himself on fire and burned to death because he could not stand the 1 to 15 year sentence he was given for attempted murder. Kill the lights. Here we go. Lights off. If you are here, can you make that go off again? Okay. I want you to touch that when the answer is yes, and I want you to not touch it when the answer is no. Do you understand? You very understand. Okay, gotcha. Were you the inmate that died here? Okay, well, understandable. Later, dude. Yeah, this is ridiculous. This is not what we came here for. This place is scary. I don't like this. What was that? Wait, where'd you guys go? Oh, there they are. Now we're gonna make a circle. We're all gonna put this in the middle of the circle and we're gonna give it some distance. No, no. Were you a prisoner? Were you a guard? Did you know Mr. Saltz? Were you a doctor? Do you speak English? See, we figured it out. They don't understand English. Sicko mode or Obama? Were you just standing next to me and Connor? Yes. Can you come back and stand in between me and Connor? Are you standing behind Connor? Like, I have to pee. Oh, like, what are you doing? Like, it was like chills and my like It was like shortness of breath and my eyes just got super watery. Is it still there? Is it gone? No, it's gone now. But it was like, it was like I just started to cry. Like, are you making Connor cry? Blinking. Oh, it went red. It's still here. Oh dude, we're jumping up here now. It went, it went to 4. I'm gonna put the chair right here. We're gonna come back in approximately 5 minutes and see if it's in the middle of the room again. All right, it's been 5 minutes. Let's see if— whoa, why? Oh my goodness. All right, well, that was— that was— yeah, that was interesting. Hey Chris. Yes sir. I don't believe in ghosts. Here's $100. I bet a ghost doesn't show up. You're on. That's not what the skit was supposed to be, but just give him the $100. Joke's on you, Tariq. I still got the money. That's All these fools fell asleep on me. You will never catch me sleeping here. What was that? Hey guys, I wake up. Morning sunshine, we survived, guys. No ghost ate us. I can't believe We just slept on the floor of a 130-year-old prison. Hey, ghosts, last chance. Any of y'all boys out there? All right, just checking. We did it. We entered thinking we would get possessed by a demon. Squad is alive. No demon possession here, no ghost possession. We're Gucci. Thank you guys for watching. MrBeast6000, oh, oh, MrBeast6000, oh, oh.
