Summary
The concept of “lunatic asylum” was universal around most of the world from the 1800s to the mid-1900s. Oftentimes, they were sprawling brick facilities designed to house nearly anyone that mainstream society didn’t want to deal with. From legitimate mental illness to simply speaking a different language, there was no end to what could qualify an innocent soul from being locked away at the Aradale Asylum. Today, we hear the very true and very haunted history of Australia’s Aradale Asylum with paranormal investigator William Tabone. This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:06.8 | Do you believe that a majority of the spirits at the asylum were once residents there, or is there a mix of residence, staff? |
| 0:14.7 | I mean, you could have even family members that are coming, supposedly visit their loved ones, you know, |
| 0:21.4 | although that really wasn't such a thing for a majority of the life of the asylum, maybe only |
| 0:25.7 | more so towards the latter years. Exactly. In the early days, I mean, it was, it was, for us, |
| 0:31.5 | it's a, you know, two, two and a half hour, three hour, drive, depending on four hour drive |
| 0:34.6 | where I come from. Sure. But in those days, it was a, you know, horse and carriage or a horse and, you know, it would |
| 0:41.6 | take you days to get there. |
| 0:44.3 | So, you know, a lot of people will put there and just locked up. |

| 1:22.7 | out, still coming through on there. And we get them quite often so you know that's staff and and |
| 1:29.2 | patience in one spot actually still working working together um and uh we we believe that they're |
