Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Video of "Pandemonium" at Eastern State Penitentiary taken by a visitor in 2006. YouTube comments engage the possibility of haunting, for example: "Yes kids. It's an audio exibit, as I said in the description. It's not ghosts. Ghosts do not exist. This was a man made exibit [sic] simulating prisoners tapping out messages to each other.."
