Unknown Broadcast | Haunted Cell: A Death-Row Ghost and a Christmas Eve Electric Chair
Convicted murderer Max Young is locked in an executed prisoner’s haunted cell, where Skeeter Dempsey’s ghost prepares him for the electric chair.
Police capture Max during a filling-station robbery and suspect him of killing Officer Ambrose Hogan. Detective Miller cannot force a confession, so he places the terrified prisoner in the cell once occupied by Skeeter Dempsey, a cop killer already put to death. In the dark, Skeeter’s voice introduces Max to a jail where the dead remain close and even a man who hanged himself may still offer advice.
Max is convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to die by electricity. He returns to the same cell while waiting to be transferred, gradually treating Skeeter as a companion rather than a threat. The ghost describes the chair’s agony, promises to walk beside him on Christmas Eve, and points out the extra rope beneath the mattress if Max would rather choose his own ending.
“Haunted Cell” is a grim Lights Out prison ghost story about guilt, coercive interrogation, capital punishment, and fear of execution. The first-person narration turns the cell into a confession booth—and saves its final revelation about who is telling the story for the last moments.

Well, if you wait for the
law to punish you, that's one thing.

If you take the law in your
own hands, m well, kind

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:09.600
of punish yourself. You got to
make a difference. Is it pretty tough

142
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.360
Who is your talking to? Maxie? Skeeter Dempsey? Let me on,
143
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.559
no kid, let me y'all put
me any place you want to put Scared?
144
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.039
Maxie? Scared? Who was you
talking to? Maxie? Skeeter Dempsey?
145
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.639
Don't put the miller? Turn on
the night with your turn of mine?
146
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.039
Will just put him in it.
S it's got you down there.
147
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.240
Please turn on the light. Oh
why not? It would be darker still
148
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:12.720
when I turn him off again?
What's the matter? Now? Well,
149
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:21.480
there ain't anybody here, WAPs.
I was skeeter in here with your kids.
150
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:30.960
I thought, I thought, there
right anybody here? Oh, yes,
151
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.480
there is night. I would worry
about him right here beside you,
152
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:48.879
and I'm gonna stay. They kept
me in that sell there for four weeks.
153
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.399
Every once in a while Mill had
come in and stand there in front
154
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.840
of the door and laugh at me. Gonna sign a compression, make see
155
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.200
He'd say, Oh, I wasn't
gonna give him nothing. What that place
156
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.359
got me? As soon as it
was dark? Ideas did he would step
157
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.359
me come and sit down with him. I was almost scared at first.
158
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.799
It's kind of hard to get used
to. Practically they would a ghost.
159
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:25.000
But then I kind of get used
to him. Was always telling me how
160
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.960
I was gonna burn, and how
I'd be better off to hang myself like
161
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.720
George Brown done it. I guess
it was not though I wouldn't nothing,
162
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.839
have no lawyer see them. They
was keeping me in there without throwing anything
163
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
about it, so as they could
hand me the wrap when the time come,
164
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.680
well, all the time come someplace
or other. A Miller dug up
165
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.400
the evidence that I wouldn't give'em, and they had me and how they
166
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:59.920
had me so one morning full me
klitter and I'm sitting in the car.
167
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:21.480
No, the jury's been out twenty
minutes. Everybody rides been down. Gentlemen
168
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.680
of the jury, have you arrived
at a verdict? We have, your
169
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:36.000
honor? Will you pass the verdict
to the bailey please? Where the jury
170
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:45.839

murder in the first degree, Mster Pullman.
171
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.240
Is this your verdict? It is
your honor. The dependent will rise
172
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:59.680
and get up next seton Max Young? Have you anything to say before sentences
173
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:06.200
passed? Don't you ly? No, your honor, you realize that in
174
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.440
a verdict of guilty of first degree
murder, the death penalty is mandatory.
175
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.880
Yeah, yeah, your honor.
Very well, then it is the sentence
176
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.359
of this court that you are to
be taken from this place and between the
177
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.960
twenty first and the thirtieth December,
shopped to death by electricity. And may
178
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.799
God have mercy on your soul.
Alright, Macy, how on this way?
179
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:52.000
Well? Max? That's that?
Yeah? Did you say? Well?
180
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.160
I didn't say nothing. It was
me Max. I said there's only
181
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:19.559
one way out. No. Well, so that was that there wasn't ready
182
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.440
to send me down to the state
prison where they bump off guys, or
183
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.240
they kept me in this here winging
the canny chair where they had me in
184
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:32.519
the skear of Dempsey's old cell.
I guess this guy I must have liked
185
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.799
his pearl Ambrose hop and quite a
lot the guy I knocked off. Huh,
186
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:44.759
Sure I knocked him off. What
he use the kidding around? Hey?
187
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.359
Guess he musta thought a lot I
am, cause he kept me in
188
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.480
there where it was dark, where
I'd be scared to death all the time,
189
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:59.680
really getting even. How'd I kind
of fool him? I wasn't so
190
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.319
sc He had a Skeeter by this
time. I got so I set in
191
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:12.960
the dark there and be waiting for
him, and we'd talk about everything in
192
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:19.960
the world. It was funny people
out of history, and funny places and
193
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:26.720
stuff, and ah, a lot
of things. Skeeter told me he saw
194
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.559
a lot of the guys where he
talked about may Row and Judas Iscariot.
195
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.559
But why not? He was dead, wasn't he? And so was they?
196
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.440
Oh? But I got a hurry
up with my ghost doing Ay,
197
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.599
that's right. Uh. What I
was gonna say was I was sitting there
198
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:52.880
one night, the twenty thirty was
day before Christmas Eve. Setting in the
199
00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:11.839
darkened I heard Skeeter come hello,
Skeeter, Oh Mac, how you feeling
200
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.759
not so hot? Still thinking about
the hot squad? Huh? What else
201
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:21.920
do you expect me to think about? I wish they'd hurry up and get
202
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.880
it over it, That's what I
wish. It's tomorrow night. What is
203
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:33.839
they burned it on Christmas Eve?
Yeap? Honest, Skeeter, how do
204
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.400
you know I found out? Oh
god, Oh, don't take it so
205
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.440
hard. I'll walk in with you
when they take it to the chair.
206
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.200
I'll stand right there alongside you.
Where do you ski her? What do
207
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:52.279
you? Honest? Sure won't do
you much good? Though? Why I
208
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.799
can't keep it from hurting? The
honest, skitter? Does it hurt a
209
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.759
lot? Or is it all over
pretty quick? It seemed to me to
210
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.440
last one hundred years. Oh I'm
a sucker for pain, Skeeter. All
211
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.440
right, sure, I cut my
finger once I put in your croaked with
212
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.319
the pain. You ain't felt nothing
yet? Yeah? Yeah, gee?
213
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.079
I remember two when I busted my
leg. My old lady set up all
214
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:25.359
night holding my hand and me brawling
herself. Feel like a million busted legs.
215
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.480
Listen, Skeeter, what did you
say? George Bound told you didn't
216
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:38.319
hurt much bumping yourself off, That's
what he said. What I I was
217
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.839
wondering, Well, I know what
i'd do if I was in your place?
218
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:51.799
Yeah? Would you bump yourself off? Yeah? I I don't think
219
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.960
I got the cuts through it.
Skeeter. It ain't high. You got
220
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.640
a belt, you could get it
around your neck and climb up on the
221
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:04.559
bunk, Fasten the belt to the
bars up above. Then all you gotta
222
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:11.319
do is jump on. Yeah,
Yeah, you know it would help you
223
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.480
out if you did. What do
you mean, Well, you know I
224
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:22.640
told you kind of punishing yourself.
See, I know I can't. I
225
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.400
can't, I can't I don't want
to die. Well, it's all right
226
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.880
with me. I was just telling
you. Believe me that I know what
227
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:37.559
I'm talking about. Joia Skeeter,
j Yeah, I wish I had to
228
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.279
cut to do it. I don't
care what you're doing. Matte all are
229
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.680
you going to get burned tomorrow night? Anyway? And if you want to
230
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.680
get out of the most awful pain
you ever had, do yourself a good
231
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:56.240
turn. At the same time.
Well, I wonder what it feels like.
232
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.680
George Brown said, it only hurt
for a minute. I had much
233
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:07.440
guts that I remember. Nope,

250
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:49.160

And just in case you decide to
do what George Brown did the extra
261
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.799
piece of rope under the matter,
you won't have to use your belt along.
262
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:36.000
Well, there you are. That's
your ghost story. You believe in
263
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:45.079
ghosts, now you don't? We
you're you see I took Skins advice.

I hung myself. I'd been dead
six month. All right, you can
265
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.880

the modest amount of wood I have
276
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.440
