Ghost Hunters episode report card.

“Haunted Asylum”

The team heads to the Weston Asylum located in West Virginia.

The Ghost Hunters go to the Weston Asylum. Will a former patient make an appearance?

Quote of the episode:

“Dude, this place is huge man, hu-oooh-ga.”
– Tango

Case : Weston Asylum

Client Credibility

The owner of the Weston Asylum is Rebecca Jordan. She gives the guys a tour of the hu-oooh-ga building. The forensics unit was the location where the most dangerous were housed. She mentions Charlie Manson was housed there at one time. Apparently let go and he made his way to California. She tells us a story where a man being seen in this area which was only housing women at the time. The guards could not find the man later. Of course the witnesses were patients who might not be at their best.

The stretcher room was where a tour guide was grabbed and pulled down by an unseen entity. Another tour guide saw an apparition.

The fourth floor is where children’s voices have been heard.

Investigation

They bring Joe Chin and Kristyn Gartland on this investigation. Joe Chin makes his first appearance on the series and is an investigator-in-training. With Kris Williams they try to get some EVPs on the fourth floor.

Jason and Grant and later Steve and Tango appear to hear laughter.

Grant and Jason have a particular creepy personal experience. They describe seeing an apparition in a white gown that is standing then curls down and disappears. Unfortunately not captured on camera. An interesting story, but as they say it’s just a story.

Kristyn saw a black mass but was so mesmerized she couldn’t move to try to get it on camera.

Evidence

They tell us they have a recording of some laughter or noise while Steve and Tango were investigating but we didn’t hear anything on our TV set. It was weird because Rebecca Jordan reacted as she heard something, but somehow it didn’t make it to our ears.

They caught an EVP that said “go home” that was pretty clear.

Another EVP was that they thought they heard a little girls voice. No audible words though. It was hard to hear for us.

Another sound was recorded in the stretcher room which was a bang noise. They say they can’t debunk it but we wonder how they can say it’s something paranormal because the camera showed such a small part of the room. To many other real possibilities to even include it as evidence.

The best EVP was a pretty creepy breath sound. It was unsettling to say the least.

Conclusion

Another entertaining show. A funny scene was when Steve and Tango were trying to debunk the female laughter by having Tango go outside and “laugh” to see if the laughter sound carried.

Some interesting EVPs were captured. The breath EVP was pretty creepy.

We can see this location being a Halloween special one of these years. Since it’s so hu-oooh-ga.
