(From Chris in Wisconsin

I've always been a sceptic of the paranormal. In March of 2008, I had an opportunity to participate in an investigation of Moundsville Prision, West
Virginia. I was armed with a digital camera and a couple of friends. Our
group of about ten people walked freely throughout the prison from 12am-6am on
a cold, rainy Saturday morning. After walking around for hours and about ready
to gather the gear together, another investigator and I hid inside a cell on
the third level, lying in wait to scare some people that were walking our way. We stood back inside the opened cell, with all of our equipment hidden or
turned off, for about 2 minutes.
I was about three feet from the back wall of
this old cell, hiding my camera's illuminated screen, when something grabbed my
right elbow/arm. I can remember feeling something squeeze my arm and hearing
the material of my coat compressing. I raised my camera up to shine the screen
behind me to see if I could see anything, but there was nothing. Nothing there to accidently rub my arm against, no one standing
there playing a joke on me, nothing but the darkness. Being a rookie, I made
the mistake of running out of the cell, rather than staying to try to make
contact or gather hard evidence. Ever since that incident, my interests have
been towards investigating any reports of strange activity.
