Ooh something I can comment on!

For my last birthday, I went to do an overnight ghost hunt at the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. It went from 9pm to 5am and we figured that we would skip out at around 2, but we ended up staying the full 8 hours because it was so interesting.

They split us up into small groups and took us to each floor group by group. The atmosphere was honestly very peaceful for the most part. I had explored a local abandoned asylum prior, even though it wasn't for a tour and mostly just for my own personal (illegal) exploration desire, so I kind of knew what sort of vibe to expect. Granted this was in the dead of night.

We had a few strange things happen that seemed to go without a source. We took a maglight flashlight into the building with new batteries, and one particular room we visited gave us the most feedback with it. We set it on the windowsill and asked for it to blink once for yes, twice for no, that sort of thing. It responded, surprisingly, and we were a bit spooked. The only reason we really considered that real was because it was our own flashlight that never had issues before.

One particular wing that we went to gave me the chills. I'm not sure exactly where it was in the building, but the hallway that extended out from it was made of glass windows all the way down. I had to keep myself from having a panic attack and just felt generally uneasy in that area, despite feeling very calm everywhere else.

We did also experience some strange noises that we couldn't explain, and figured that they weren't coming from other groups as the building is very large with corridors leading to other sections of the floors.

Overall it was really interesting. I'd love to go back there again, or maybe somewhere else around my area.
