Warning: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!

The first of two investigations tonight is at the Old Lake County Jail and house in Crown Point, Indiana. It was built in 1882, and since then has had some rather notorious guests, including John Dillenger and one of Al Capone's hit men.

Jim, tells the team that Indiana law used to require that the sheriff live in or next to the jail. So many families lived just steps away from criminals until it closed down in the 1970s.

The jail had always been considered escape-proof, until Dillinger and another gangster, Herbert Youngblood manage to break out. They were both killed shortly after. Now, Jim and others have been trying to renovate the historic prison, but the paranormal activity is getting in the way. Could the notorious criminals be behind the haunt?

In addition to the shadow figures and apparitions, visitors claim to feel high energy in the Dillinger cell block. Women particularly feel they are in danger in the prison. They have been pushed and dragged into cells. That's seriously sinister stuff.

This woman saw something moving in a cell, and when she went closer something grabbed and pinched her on the hip! Other claims include voices, floating orbs and a LOT of banging noises. Meanwhile, in the sheriff's home people have heard a baby crying and footsteps.

K.J. and Tango open the old cells hoping a prisoner's ghost will come out. The series of noises and movements they hear are intriguing.

A deal with the devil? Steve makes a pledge with the spirits that, if they touch him, he will spend the night in a cell with them.

Whatever that huge banging sound was, all the teams in the jailhouse heard it. It sounded like a car passing by, but Jason confirms from the van that there are no cars in the area. That makes it WAY more interesting.

K.J. reacts to analysis footage of a voice caught replying to him when he was investigating. That's both creepy and cool!

Jim hears the audio footage of the voices and the heat orb. The evidence is compelling enough to make a skeptic like Jim rethink his position. Great job, team!

The team moves to My Old Kentucky Home State Park in Bardstown, Kentucky. This old mansion saw it's share of tragedy when there was a devastating cholera outbreak in 1833. Senator John Rowan and his wife Anne Lytle witnessed tremendous suffering during that time.

The Rowans lost eight family members and eight slaves to the disease. The sick had been quarantined to the dining room and all died within 24 hours. Years later, their son John Jr. died when he fell out the window. His wife, Rebecca also died in the home years after his death.

This grisly history could well be the source of today's paranormal claims. There are shadow figures, voices of children playing, motion sensors going off inexplicably and a woman in period dress smiling in a window. In the children's room, a doll is often moved about the room. Sheets move in Rebecca's room and the dining room is a hotbed of shadows and noises. Matthew is the new director of the Home and would like to offer answers to employees and neighbors about what's going on.

Tango and Sam ponder whether the claims of imprints appearing on the bed could just be a result of fluffy bedding that is easily rumpled.

Though they didn't get many first hand experiences, analysis of the video caught a deep breath and a voice in the bedroom. Overall, it seems the activity is more residual and harmless than anything.
