Welcome to the paranormal deep dive from real ghost stories online and the grave talks.

All right, so today we're diving into a place that's become almost under a legendary for its haunted asylum stories.

The Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.

Why is this place, why is it such a magnet

for paranormal investigators, ghost hunters, all of that?

Yeah, yeah. Is it actually haunted by like spirits, you know, ghosts or is there something else going on here?

Something maybe, I don't know, woven into the building itself.

What do you think?

I think what's so captivating about the trans allegheny linetic asylum is that it's not just an abandoned building

with a few spooky stories, right?

It's a place where the architecture, the history,

the human experience, all of that intersects

in a way that, I don don't know continues to fascinate us even

structure built in the mid 1800s in Western West Virginia.

Right.

Costs a million dollars to build which back then that's an insane amount of money.

Oh yeah.

Astronomer.

And they didn't just like throw it together, you know. It was designed,

meticulously designed based on the Kirkcride plan.
