Paranormal investigators from ParaHunt collected evidence in the haunted 1886-constructed Bissman building in Mansfield, OH, according to a YouTube video uploaded May 8, 2011.

The building's Brewer Hotel portion was used as a set in the 1994 film, "Shawshank Redemtion," where character Brooks went to after his parole, but ultimately committed suicide.

Local legend says a little girl named Ruthie still occupies this site, as well as seven other spirits. The young girl was allegedly raped, murdered, and her body placed in a pickle barrel in the basement area. The investigation kicks off in the garage area where the group uses Maglight-brand flashlights and dowsing rods to capture EVPs. Interesting Spirit Box communications captured on the second floor.
