In the first assignment Picabo and Tonya were sent to The Door of Life, a separate cell attached to the main recreation yard, and had to set up a thermal camera.
Picabo was the celebrity who had the strongest connection with the spirits, so she was chosen to act as the "conduit to the spirit world".
The team decided the "heart of the haunting" was the Electric Chair.
A number of movies have been filmed at the Tennessee State Penitentiary, including: The Green Mile, Ernest Goes to Jail, The Last Castle, Last Dance, Marie, and Furnace.
Mariel: (as Tonya complains about the camera rig she has to wear) Sweetie, it's better to look good than to feel good.
Tonya: This is a situation that I've never wanted to put myself into. At the same time, I feel like if I did it, and was a little more knowledgeable, I'd be less afraid.
Michael: Who knows anything about ghosts? I mean, who knows what to do and what not to do...? (Tonya points at Picabo) You do, Picabo?
Picabo: I do know how to some of them are stuck, some have chosen to be where they are, some of them have not, and...
Tonya: (interrupting) Do you know how they feel about me?
Joe: (as Tonya pulls up her tank top to display her midriff) I like Tonya's ghostbusting outfit, though. It's my favorite.
Michael: It's good.
Joe: I mean, you know..,?!
Michael: Let's try not to attract the horny ghosts, okay? (Tonya starts working on her makeup)
The Celebrity Paranormal Project would return to this location in the series' final episode "Dead Men Walking".
The prison featured in this episode is the Tennessee State Penitentiary, located in Nashville, TN. "The Walls" opened in 1898 and was finally closed in June 1992.
