  SPEAKER_01: When I was 13, we had a birthday party at my house and we were playing with the Ouija board.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_01: And uh don't do it, it's bad.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um as we were doing it, we saw a black shadow walk up out of our basement through our kitchen and out the wall to the outside.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: So is that when you decided maybe I want to look into this a little more?
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Because my wife wants the totally opposite direction.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, she won't even talk about that anymore.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she's like, I want nothing to do with it.

  SPEAKER_00: No one no one will ever know.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody has their theories, but no one will ever know.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's the gist of it.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um you did a one investigation with me ten years ago.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Madison.

• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: We've done Ohio State Reformatory a couple times.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: So how was that?
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because I have my feelings about that one.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they allow too many people in at one time, so you can't really get a good feel of there's actually anything there because you pick up too much from the other groups.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then we did another one.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what the name of the place was, but it's also near Columbus, like between Columbus and Dayton.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: And it was another uh jail, and we did that there.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it might be Lincoln County, I don't know.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: That actually might be it, but yeah, that one was good because it wasn't as many people, it was only like one sometime.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: So one day I'll get down there.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So all right, so we're gonna jump right into old Hospital College Hill.

• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, Oh, that would be cool.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: So she broke the broke me down, I guess, and I was talking about our big trip coming up, and I said old Hospital College Hill, and she's like, I'm in.

  SPEAKER_00: So it should be an interesting place.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be terrifying.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's not gonna be terrifying, it's gonna be creepy a little bit, but I think it'll be fun.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've never been there.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, Beth has never been there.
• 2:40

• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Sitting on top of a hill looking over the city of Williamson sits an abandoned building known as Old Hospital on College Hill.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: In 1926, the city's downtown hospital got destroyed by a fire.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: So in 1928, the city of Williamson built a new state-of-the-art facility on top of what is known as College Hill.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: The state-of-the-art complex had 50 rooms, stayed open for 60 years until a new hospital was built in 1988 down the street.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: Since 1988, it has been used for many things such as physician offices and storage.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Since the hospital officially closed its doors, there have always been rumors of paranormal activity.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: Even before the doors were closed, there were stories of the unknown.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Bought by a private investor, the hospital opened its doors for public paranormal investigations in 2021, giving the opportunity for people and groups to go in and find out what is lurking in the halls of the hospital.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Are the stories true?
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: They are.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: We don't know if we're gonna find out.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's where we go.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm predicting.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: There are many stories about the hospital an old old hospital on College Hill.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's a tongue twister.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: Many believe it's the patients still roaming the buildings.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Some believe it's the staff, the doctors, the nurses who cared for thousands of patients that came through those doors when it was operational.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Many believe it was both.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's one thing that we do know, like any hospital, not everyone who came in left.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Many claims there, but not limited to its cold spots.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Hearing voices, moans of pain, shadow figures, full body apparitions, and some people have been touched or brushed against when no one else is around.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: Have you been touched?
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: No, I never.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, me either.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like 35, 40 investigations have never been.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: One story tells of the spirit of Moses Blackburn.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: In 1962, he was arguing with his wife outside a downtown restaurant when the police got called to the scene.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: An argument got heated with the officers, and they ended up exchanging gunfire.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: Moses got shot in the arm and was taken to the hospital.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: But during the firefight, Moses shot and killed a policeman.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: While in the hospital, Moses was guarded by two sheriff deputies outside his room.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Moses ripped open a screen to his windows, jumped out the third story.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: As Karma has it, the fall didn't kill him.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: He suffered on the ice for a couple days until he passed away from his injuries.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: I see you.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I see you.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: Could be ice.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Probably better if he killed a cop.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: Is the ghost of Moses still roaming the halls of the old hospital?
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_01: Possibly could the police officer he shot and killed still be looking to get him.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: Another ghostly story is of a nurse in an old-fashioned nursing uniform.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of senior apparition, but also just had a very calm feeling when she's around.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: Probably just like she did when she took care of her patients.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: Is she still taking care of her patients or is she taking care of us?
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: Old hospital being West Virginia, coal mining country saw accidents from the mines, broken bones, black lung, respiratory illnesses, burns, and cat catastrophic injuries.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: The hospitals are the catch-all.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: They were the place that life began for some and the place where life ended for some.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: See, that's the terrifying part.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Because it looks like a hospital, like inside still.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they really haven't changed much in there.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: You still got the bed, you still got, I believe there's a morgue in there somewhere.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: The basement.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that's a place that has the morgue coolers.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: We'll find out.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to remember.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Anyways, so I mean it started being investigated 2021, so four years ago, not that long.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Most of these places take a while to I guess spirits warm up to you.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you go in there, they're not sure what's going on.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: You know, people walk through, but they don't ask questions.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now for the last four year people are asking questions, looking for answers.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: So it's starting to ramp up from my understanding.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, Moses, he might be there.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna find out.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's one more.
• 8:21
  unknown: Yeah.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Nurses always interest me that stick around.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Trans Allegheny has them.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Every hospital has them, take sale asylums, every because that's what they did for a living, is take care of people.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: But is it possible they're actually looking out for us too?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because some of their patients might have been mentally ill.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's obviously crazy.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: Mentally ill.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, they could be looking out for us too, warning us.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: We'll find out.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: Or we're just trying to comfort people.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's what they did for their job, and I mean, if it's not their actual spirit spirit, it's probably just you know residual energy.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like it just imprints it because and like think about the hospital.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: There's so many traumatic things that happen in there and so many happy moments, so that energy has to stay.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I mean yeah, I think especially nurses back in the day, they they they they cared for their not saying they don't now, but you know, they had their patient, they just that's what that was their whole life of just taking care of these patients.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: So they might be sticking around too still because that they loved it.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: So and you know, with medicine back in the day it was a lot of stuff you didn't come back from.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: So No.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: This was built in 1928.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right into the depression.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's old.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, any time a coal mining town, a lot of stuff, so tons of stuff.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: I wonder like how close it is to the closest coal mine.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'll look it up.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: And if there were any accidents in the mine.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh sure there is.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean every place we go to has accidents, so yeah.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: But I have to think, like, if the coal mine, like people are still like in some cases, if it's an explosion, it's trapped in there still, and we can get that into the hospital.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we get that at Bel Air a lot.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: Bell Air House, Ross House and Bel Air House.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Brushy Mountain in Tennessee, you know, a lot of coal accidents right around there.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll find out.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm excited to do this, so everybody knows we're doing solos.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm doing a solo at Old Hospital about 45 minutes before anybody steps foot in there.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna go in and do my solo and check it out before anybody else does.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm excited about that.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: And you're the only one that's coming down.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have another group coming down with us for this one.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Every other place has someone else, so it's gonna be exciting.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um I'm glad you get the comb.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it'll stop bothering me every time I mention something.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: Stop it, it's on my bucket list.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: A bucket list of all the haunted places I want to go.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: What is your biggest one?
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: Besides this one, I really want to go to um Pennhurst.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: I mean it I mean it is because it's like something you you see and you you want to do.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I do the bigger ones, like I've done Mansfield, Trans Allegheny.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: If you ever get a chance to go to Trans Allegheny, go there, it's unbelievable.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's also on the list.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Pennhurst, Waverly, those are all places that are popular because of TV shows.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I mean I don't get really excited about those anymore.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: I knew about them before all the TV shows.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: I know, but so it's like, let's go.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really get too excited about those places because they're so commercialized.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: And they do jam a lot of people on there, unless you want to run out by yourself, then it gets pretty expensive.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um this place, only 2021, so it's still it's still fairly new.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: They're fairly new and they don't jam.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: I rent this out by myself, obviously.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um I like the places like this and other you know smaller places.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm doing Bill Manor coming up in 17 days.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: Nice.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: It should be fun.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: My brother's going with us.
• 12:29
  unknown: Yeah.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: Can you videotape that?
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: We are doing Facebook Live.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: For everybody who doesn't know my brother, I don't know how long that's gonna last.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: We might get kicked off Facebook Live.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, but it's gonna be some excellent content.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so May 20th, Bill Manor.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be going Facebook Live with my brother.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: He's scared, he's nervous, but he's always wanted to do one, so I invited him.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: I was gonna do a solo by myself there all night, but then I decided some people told me it was stupid to do that.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: So I invited my brother.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: He's a couple hours away, so we're gonna do one and get to spend some quality time with my brother because I don't get to see him that much.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: And hopefully he'll last a whole night, but there'll be a lot of screaming.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: From him.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Screaming.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: It shouldn't be too bad.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Bill Mara's not terrible from my understanding.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Only like 15 people have been scratched there, which isn't bad.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think how many people went through there.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: The percentage is pretty low.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: So it'll be good.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't know anything about the place.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: That's the way I usually go in.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, leave it that way.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: Don't tell him anything.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: Because I don't like to be influenced.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't look really anything up on Bill Banner.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: These I'm on due just to get it out there.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: I know it because of their known destination fear, yeah.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: Project fear, so they uh I mean I've never been to Post Town, but we did Madison.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: I've done Madison 11 times now.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: I've done Bell Air and I've done Ross, so I know the history of everything.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: I only looked the history up after my first time, usually.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: So but I wanted to get it out there because there's a lot of people that they know about these places.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: And if you have any stories about these places, drop a comment.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: I like to know, you know, where should where should we go where you had your experiences.
• 14:28
