BOISE -- For the first time in 10 years the Old Idaho Penitentiary will be giving guided tours Halloween night. 

But the "Frightened Felon's Halloween" tours might be too scary for kids five years old and younger.

Historians at the prison say the stories they'll be sharing are true.

They'll talk about recent ghost investigations and paranormal activity that many have witnessed.

"Inside this building it's mostly feelings. People think they hear something or they think that somebody is talking behind them. Or they get a sense that something is grabbing out to them or touching them," said Amber Beirle, Interpretive Specialist, Old Idaho Penitentiary.

The "Frightened Felon's Halloween" tours will begin at 6 p.m. and go until 10 p.m.

Family tours go from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The cost of the tours are $10 for ages 12 and up and $8 for children under 12.

Our Edgar Linares took the tour and he'll have more on our Evening News at Six.
