History: The Burlington County Prison was the oldest prison in continuous use in the United States, having been open for over 150 years. It was designed by architect Robert Mills who also designed the Washington Monument. Many prisons built after the Burlington County Prison were modeled after Mills functional design. The prison was in operation up until the mid-1960's.

Activity Reported:  Previous investigations of this old prison by other research groups have yielded a high amount of spiritual activity including positive photos and EVP's.  Researchers have heard cell doors slamming shut on their own, and two researchers were physically pushed by unseen hands.

Investigation Summation:  This was a joint investigation organized by our sister group South Jersey Paranormal Research, who had previously investigated this old prison once before.  Mike Hrycyk, who routinely works jointly with both groups as an investigator, represented NJPR for this investigation.  While Mike initially felt that the evening was uneventful and quiet, his review of his evidence afterwards proved that it was a very active investigation.  Mike collected an unusually high number of EVP's as well as several video events.
