Buzzfeed has turned its viral eye to the supernatural with "Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural" — an online show that recently spent some time at Eastern State Penitentiary.

Buzzfeed Unsolved features hosts Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej, a couple of "amateur internet sleuths," according to a release, who have a penchant for investigating things that go bump in the night. Bergara is a believer in conspiracies and the supernatural, while Madej is a bonafide skeptic. Together, the pair travel to purportedly haunted locales to look for the truths behind the apparent spooks.

The pair recently made their way to Eastern State, where they spent some time investigating the penitentiary thanks to its history of reported paranormal activity. The episode will air Friday at 6 p.m. on Buzzfeed Blue on YouTube.

In a clip provided to Philly.com ahead of the episode's premiere, Bergara and Madej check out a cell in Eastern State, with one of the pair being coaxed into spending some time alone inside it. The clip contains foul language, so please watch at your own discretion:
