Mental hospitals and prison wards are among the most haunted places on the planet. No one knows why this is true, but it's a fact that has proven itself all over the world. It seems that when prisoners - either prisoners of society or people imprisoned in their own minds - live anywhere for an extended period of time, a haunting is soon to follow. And that's where this book comes in. In it, we are going to explore a variety of mental hospitals, asylums, prisons, and other haunted wards from all over the world. We'll examine the horrifying events which led to the haunting, then we'll study the strange yet terrifying events that prove the haunting is real. Come with me on a journey across the world, searching for and examining the best of all the haunted asylums and prison wards we can find. With a haunting, there's no forgetting the past or moving on from things that once happened. You are constantly reminded of the horror each person in the situation faced, and are unable to forget that the situation occurred where it did.

I want to give these unfortunate souls the voice they yearn for, and show the world the things that happened to them. Here Is A Preview Of What's Inside...

Download or read book Haunted Asylums written by Seth Balfour and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True Ghost Stories Of Haunted Asylums, Spooky Buildings And Creepy Tales Of The Worlds Most Haunted Places The sterile and cold environment of most hospitals is enough to put us off on a normal day; imagine, then the absolute silence and creepiness of a mental institution, where the only sounds are possibly those of screaming, insane patients - or worse. On the best of days, we would prefer to ignore these asylums where the deranged reside, for they are hardly the kind of people we would like to associate with on a regular basis. In fact, most people would rather pretend that these places don't exist at all. They myths of mental asylums are infamous; the scales often tend to tip over to the paranormal side. Ironically, these places become popular when there is a report of a ghost sighting or an unexplained murder. The idea of a haunted asylum definitely fires up the imagination; we would not spend time in a normal psych care ward, but we wouldn't pass up the opportunity to take a ghost tour in what used to be a psych care ward. Each story is quite chilling - from floating balls and slamming doors to flickering lights and Shadow People, these walls have borne witness to the pain of the innocent as much as the rage of the murderers...

Download or read book Haunted Asylums written by Seth Balfour and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chilling Cases Of Deserted Psych Wards, Haunted Asylums, Spooky Graveyards And True Ghost Stories Louisville, Kentucky is the site of what is said to be one of the most haunted places on earth. Waverly Hills Sanatorium is perched upon a massive hill, its decaying ruins casting a perpetual shadow of doom over the city that resides below it. It darkens the air, looking ominous and foreboding, and it is backed up by a chilling history that is bound to make anyone who learns of it shiver and tremble. Even on the best of days, most of us would hardly like to enter asylums where, for lack of a better word, 'crazy' people are housed. These institutions are often like the black ops of hospitals - they are there, but they are hardly spoken about or given the attention they deserve. And this is in a normal situation. What do you think would happen when the scales tip over into the paranormal? Strangely enough, the idea of a haunted asylum seems to fire up our imagination; where we would not have cared to spend too much time in a normal psych ward, an abandoned and perhaps haunted psych ward is far too good an opportunity to pass up. I have to warn you though, for all that these places may seem like a brilliant Halloween set up - they are truly not...
