Tales of a haunted prison at Ada Public Library

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, October 18, 2015

MORE CREEPY PHOTOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY.

That’s what plenty of sane people do at the Ohio State Reformatory, the huge, castle-like structure in Mansfield that famously lent its brooding, forbidding presence to the hit 1994 movie, “The Shawshank Redemption,” starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.
