ghost cats
Halloween in Philadelphia always brings talk of the Eastern State Penitentiary, a creepy old historical prison where they do a haunted house every year.
Right now you can also view an exhibit called Ghost Cats by Linda Brenner. The work consists of a series of white cat sculptures, representing the colony of cats that lived on the prison grounds until the closing in 1971.

Hi Suzi!
I have been there and it is super spooky. They have a haunted house in the fall...but I find the year round, regular tour to be pretty scary indeed. Its in a pretty interesting location in Philly as well-right in the midst of a residential neighborhood with cute restaurants, coffee shops and salons.

Eastern State Penitentiary is one of my favorite places to photograph. I hope that people enjoy my Ghost Cat pictures. Thanks for the post.
