Oh No! Not the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and Waverly Hills Sanit

Ghost Hunters Academy has led ghost hunter cadets back to several of the more notorious ghost-haunted spook locations.

1) the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (love that politically incorrect name, lol) in Weston, West Virginia.

2) the Waverly Hills Santiorium (check out post on 'Scariest Places on Earth)

Those places are 'huuuggge', cavernous, and creepy, even in broad daylight. You have to beware of more than ghosts. You've got to watch for intruders, vagabonds, drug-users, dope dealers, criminals on the run, and just flipping loony, scaries lurking around. I wouldn't wander around these places even in daylight unless I was with a group of at least five people and probably armed, too.

He's not a wimp, he's just not stupid.

Yeah, Kupotek, I have a higher priority besides touring those risky places...staying alive! Let's wait and see if my critic takes the opportunity to tour those sanitoriums all on his own, even in broad daylight.

No intelligent person would tour those places alone.
When i was a little kid I would do that sort of a thing, but I was young and stupid.

I toured both with just two of us at Trans-A and three of us at Waverly, at night. Neither place is so decrepit that it’s not safe to walk through them. It’s common sense to pay attention to steps and stairwells. There is a back building, the actual medical building at Trans-A that they don’t allow anyone in due to the state it’s in from decay as well as some sort of insect along the lines of flea/ticks. I forgot what they called it, but it said they’d literally eat people alive walking through it. Not to the point of death, obviously, but they’d flock to bare skin and go to down biting.

Both of the above places are secured so that there is only one way in and one way out of them, to the inside at least. They are also very well looked after by security guards, most of whom are off-duty cops, that roam the grounds day and night.

The only locations we had trouble with wild animals – bats and raccoons – was the West Virginia State Penitentiary and Mansfield Reformatory. It’s nothing that can cause damage or harm though if left alone.

It always comes down to common sense.
