    I live 7 miles north of Circleville in South Bloomfield OH. There is a Pumpkin Show every year in late October. They have the world's largest pumpkin pie at Libby's bakery and a biggest pumpkin contest! Not to mention every kind of food made with pumpkin imaginable! You should check it out sometime Jacob!

    I live in Columbus and this year will be the first time in 10 years I'm going down for it. Used to go there a lot as a kid. Miss it very much. Life has a way of taking you away from the things you love to do. I wonder if you can still park at Ted Lewis and walk down?🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

    The Ohio State reformatory has been on my bucket list of haunted places to investigate long before the movie came out. And Shawshank is the only, as far as I remember, story from Stephen King that has nothing supernatural in it. And since you wanted a comment about pumpkins, I will say that pumpkin pie is awesome, and I'm looking forward to having some.

    The "tunnel" prop from the movie is in the basement, as well as where the inmates were hosed down, but because of the Halloween decor, you can't see it during this time... Also, while we toured the cells, a guy freaked out in front of us because one of the cell doors closed, with no one else around....and they are not powered. He was convinced it was more paranormal activity.

    If you look close there is blood splatter and glass damage effects applied to the window behind the wardens desk. Very interesting and subtle touch. The chapel in there also used to have a balcony all the way around. The height of the decks really is something like he mentions. There are some areas you can get to if you get the extended guided tour. Some catwalks which just peering in I could only imagine would feel like to cross. I believe you can also get into the towers and the prison yard.
