They spent the night, waited til it was late, used their devices and asked any of the spirits to reveal themselves. Many did and in very distorted yet feasible voices, they respnded with emphatic "I'm Real." Then they went to Scarface's cell asked him how long was in for, his name, and the crimes he committed, and he did.

Al Capone would have made you into a ghost, if you’d have used that “Scarface” nickname around him. He was not particularly fond of it. He kicked the bucket a good 7 years after leaving prison in 1939(died from a coronary, not syphilis, like everyone believes) in Palm Island Florida, his home away from business.
So my question is, why would Capone haunt a cell that he may have spent a miniscule amount of time in, en route to Alcatraz? One that held no personal significance. And wouldn’t his ghost be more likely to be hanging around his old estate in Florida? Or one of his old hangouts in Brooklyn? The Lexington in Chicago? Alcatraz? I mean, surely, a newsman of Maury Povich’s caliber and integrity wouldn’t attempt to bamboozle the public with say……tricked out sound equipment?
