The prison was notorious for having small cells and being overcrowdedJam Press/Freaktography

Dave – known as Freaktography online – uncovered the eerie place sitting in Ontario, Canada and found it was once home to a variety of characters, from common thieves to controversial convicts.

In the horrifying video, Dave shows a set of cramped cells with only a toilet and a bench fit for a tiny mattress inside.

Other pictures showed the battered jail – now left in crumbling ruins – littered with graffiti and rusty doors.

The Canadian man spoke in the video saying: “This forgotten relic was constructed in 1925 and served as a correctional facility.

“Coming through the doors, you walked up some stairs and into the processing room

“Cells had plexiglass on them, as well as bars. The cells looked terrible, there was no privacy and there was no power at all so it was very dark.”

“There were instructions in the admin room of what to do in a code red with a direct line to the police, fire and radio to everyone.”

The prison in the freaky video is Windsor Jail and has been left completely abandoned since 2014.

Following the closure, a team of archaeologists explored the cells and found a shocking set of bones of a previous inmate.

In 2015, the heel, knee, rib and toe bones of a man were discovered in the former graveyard of the prison in the southwest corner of the yard.

Although unconfirmed, the bones are thought to belong to convicted murderer Peter Beyak who was sentenced to death in 1933.

Beyak was the only person executed in the 1930s at the jail after he was found to have killed of Jessie Nehbereski, a woman he lived with.

Ian McConachie, a spokesman with Infrastructure Ontario archaeology team, said: “The discovery was a startling turn of events.

“It adds a sombre layer to the site history, underscoring the harsh justice that once prevailed within these walls.”

When Dave explored the forgotten prison he shared his findings with his 24,000 followers on Instagram and thousands of YouTube viewers.

Excited people took to the comments to talk about the chilling walk-through experience.

One said: “I have never been inside of one of them cell blocks or pods. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.”

A second woman commented: “Interesting explore Dave. Those cells are tiny. Double door cell could have been a solitary cell.

“Somewhat creepy with all the loud creaky doors. Be an interesting place at night.”

Before others agreed that the creepy structure would be the ideal spot for a horror movie – especially the grisly tunnel.

Windsor Jail

Built in 1925, the prison was open for 94 years as part of an initiative to modernise the correctional system in Canada.

It was purposely built to help with the execution of prisoners in North America as it came with an eerie gallows in the third-floor hallway.

The 35,000 sq ft facility was surrounded by a set of menacing 20ft cement walls.

The trap door inside was eventually welded shut after Canada abolished capital punishment in 1976.

The jail had 197 beds in it just before it closed but reports from the time said that more than 20,000 people were once locked up there.

The facility on Brock Street was infamously known for overcrowding and filthy conditions that forced prisoners to live a life of misery.

Former Corrections Officer Karen Dalpe described the jail as a “difficult” place to live.

She said: “There were assaults because of the overcrowded conditions, I think that was the main cause. Medical conditions. You have sometimes up to 20 people living in a range, all sharing two TVs, one shower area. So that’s very difficult for anyone to handle.”

It was finally closed in August 2014, as inmates were moved to a new South West Detention Centre.

After it closed, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services started to work on dismantling the jail.

They ripped off the locks on cells and tore apart other security features meaning Dave and other explorers could freely sneak in and take in the disturbing atmosphere.
