Haunted Licking County Jail | Newark, OH
In the world of the Paranormal, there is a fine balance that needs to be acknowledged between the science of the tools and methods used in exploration and the spiritual connection we are trying to create between this side and the beyond. Spirits & Science was culminated to bridge the gap, create new methods, and open space for those to want to explore it.
Cherise O Williams will dive into the spiritual with ways you can "tap in" to your own unique style of intuition and how that can help on investigations. She will also share some valuable "Tarot 101" with some beginner friendly tips on how to read tarot for the possible presences in a haunted location.
Lauren Hellekson is all about the measurable energy. She will share the theoretical applications of electromagnetic radiation, static electricity, and kinetic energy in the paranormal while breaking down the mechanics of the field's most popular equipment. Use tech in a more objective and analytical way without hindering your spiritual energetic connection to the energy we're seeking to explain.

Opening its doors in 1889, this historic location is partially surrounded by the original and very ornate ironwork fence, this eerie jail was also built with brownstone that was quarried in from Millersburg, Ohio. This Richardson Romanesque style building designed by architect Joseph W. Yost who also happened to design Orton Hall on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio - truly exudes a Gothic castle like feel to its ominous appearance and stature. This jail remained in operation all the way to 1987 when it no longer met state standards.
This eerie structure adds the the ghoulish appeal of this 130 year old jail where it has now been confirmed that at least 22 people have died within these walls, many of them by suicides.
The haunted history of the jail is marked by the brutal murder of Carl Etherington - a dry agent with the Anti-Saloon League during Prohibition. He was being held that the jail for his own safety from a lynch mob as a crowd of 500 gathered on the north side of the jail thirsting for Carl's death. The crowd broke through the gates and stormed the jail. Etherington was almost beaten to death with a sledge hammer on the second floor cell-block (or did he REALLY die in his cell)?
According to local folklore, more than 5,000 people came in to see his body which had been dragged from the jail and tied to a telegraph pole on the southeast corner of the town square ultimately ending his life. Carl Etherington was only 17 years old at the time of his untimely death.
True believers in the paranormal and skeptics alike have reported hearing cell doors slamming, being touched, whispering in your ear, whistles, the sounds of footsteps - some of those being what seemed residual, the jingling of keys, screams and moaning, as well as seeing strange light anomalies, full shadow figures, and photos with unexpected images in them - just to name a few!
