Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your head us together and we're going to start
to party.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Start.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'm ready to party.

Speaker 4 (00:06):
See Elvis da Ran After Party.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
After Party Podcast. It's spooky season, Daniel's favorite time of year.

Speaker 5 (00:22):
It's the only time where she leaves the cobwebs all
over the house and I can get away with it.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
This excuse me, lazy? I love it.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
I have Michael from Stuart, Ohio on the phone. We're
talking about haunted places. We all have our haunted place stories.
And even though I've experienced things that I know are
sort of unexplainable, I still don't one hundred percent believe
that there were ghosts.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
But there's no other explanation. Michael. Yes, So, uh, you're
talking about this place in Ohio called the Ridges. What
is that?

Speaker 6 (00:56):
So?

Speaker 7 (00:57):
The Ridges was a a sane asylum for years and
they practiced some unorthodox you know, the lobotomies, electorysock therapy.
Some of the patients were basically tortured and died there.
And there's one wing that people swear is haunted. Oh wow,

(01:18):
I've been there and broad Daylight with my wife.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Now why would you go.

Speaker 7 (01:24):
Why would we go there?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah? What's going on?

Speaker 7 (01:28):
Fascination with the urban legend that the place is haunted,
was it?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Is it open to the public or did you kick
the door in? I mean, what's the deal.

Speaker 7 (01:38):
No, we were just trapsing. You can go there and
walk around outside. Now my wife wants to go inside,
and she actually wants to go there like an overnight
and I'm not trying to partake in that.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Okay, Jania, you know you sound tough.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
If you walked up to the door of the Ridges
the Insane Asylum and said, Okay, get your sleeping bag,
go upstairs for the night, you wouldn't do it.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
If I had other people with me, I just might
do it, just to see what would happen. I don't
think anything bad's gonna happen to you. Maybe you would
see a haunting or feel something, but I don't think
anything bad's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Wow, So obviously this is go ahead.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
Sorry. She swore that that day she's seen an apparition
or figure in one of the windows. And this place
has been closed since nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 8 (02:28):
Mm hmm, I believe it. Athens, Ohio is creepy wait town. Yeah,
so there, oh you that's where?

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Oh right, hold on, yeah, if you're listening in Athens
right now. Our apologies.

Speaker 8 (02:38):
No, no, they know what's up.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
They know they're creepy. Yeah, Ohio University, they're proud of it.

Speaker 8 (02:44):
They are proud of it, and they have these massive
Halloween celebrations out there because it's very creepy and haunted.
It's like known. I mean, there are places in Ohio
all over that are creepy. The Mansfield Reformatory, Whoo, that
one's terrible.

Speaker 7 (02:56):
Moonville Tunnel, lots of stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Hold on, it's the Moonville I gotta go there. What's
that all about?

Speaker 7 (03:02):
So the Moonville Tunnel leads to a town that was
Moonville during uh coal mining or some such era, and
some people got run over by a train. And they say,
if you go there on Halloween evening October thirty, first
you can hear the operations scream whail the train coming.

(03:25):
But you have to be there in the middle of
the night, like you actually can visit there.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Danielle Well, so is Moonville still in action? Is that
still like a thriving metropolis.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
No, No, it's an abandoned town. Like it's in an
old abandoned town. The only way into it is through
this tunnel.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh my god, Yes, it's all perfect. We've got to go.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, Elvis, will.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
My many Cooper fit in that tunnel? Can I get
through there?

Speaker 7 (03:55):
Now? I'm not quite sure your many Cooper will fit.
But like I said, you go there evening. I've not
made that trip either. My wife, she tries to drag
me to all these things. I'm like, eh, I don't.
I'm not tempting it. I'm not gonna push my luck.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Your wife sounds like she should be my wife.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Go crazy her a call.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
I'm sure she would be thrilled to go with you.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
You know what I love you know, Michael, Everyone in
every corner of America has that place right outside of town,
like Moonville or whatever, and it's something that's part of Americana.
We all have these frightening little things that we have
to remember it from as kids. That crazy lady that
lived down the street that actually, yeah, had the haunted house.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, we all have the witch on the corner.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Didn't we all grow.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Up with that.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
I hope in about thirty years it'll be Gandhi and
Danielle living together, the two witches down the street. I'm
gonna put at the end of Moonville Tunnel. Anyway, thank you, Michael.
I appreciate your call. And uh, I know a lot
of people living out there are going, yes, this is
this is where we live. We're so proud, Michael, thanks
for listening.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
You're welcome.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
So Andrew, yes, talk tell us.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
And So I grew up in Marlborough, New Jersey, and
right next to it is the Marborough Psychiatric Hospital.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
It's always a psychiatric y Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
So our woods like behind our house is connected to
the psychiatric hospital. So you could just like go in
your backyard in about fifteen twenty minutes, you just would
be able to like be on the grounds of the
psychiatric hospital. We had to sneak around, but we would
sneak around all the time, and there it was so creepy,
so terrifying, Like there was an abandoned prison that we

(05:42):
would go into. There was one time that we walked
in and there was a farm too, because they would
put the patients like let them work on the farm too.
We walked in and there was running water still for
some reason, even though it was abandoned for at least
thirty years, and the whole bathroom was covered in joker carts.
Have no idea why just the whole bathroom covered in

(06:03):
joker carts. It was terrifying. So I don't know, I
don't know who was around there. We would go at
night sometimes to like scare each other. It was it
was scary that that building is very, very very haunted.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I believe you know what.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
It's funny we we look at the architecture for a
building and it's the architecture that leads us to believe
it's haunted. You're not really thinking about, you know, what
actually happened there. It's like, no, that was designed to
scare the f out of me.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yes, you know what I'm saying. Yes, another thing, I'm
kind of thinking this through.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
We grow up seeing all these spooky movies about haunted
houses and this, and that this is the only way
we can actually live on set in a real haunted
situation because that place, that that that abandoned psychiatric hospital
ten miles from town, that's the only way we can
live that. So I understand the attraction, don't you guys?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Scary? So I have several friends that have gone to
Clinton Road in West Milford, New Jersey. This is a
ten mile stretch very famous, that has this one area
where a ghost boy will sit there and if you
throw a coin into the stream, he will throw it
back at you. There's also reports of these phantom headlights

(07:18):
of cars, ghost cars following you.

Speaker 9 (07:20):
And there's an area called dead Man's Curve on that stretch,
which as you know, I mean, we sent our friend
Greg t to that back in the day that that
that's a crazy area as well.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Wait, is that the one with the tree No.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Lives County.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's a whole other crazy spot.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, I got a Devil's tree out here, so suck it.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
But they say don't go to Clinton Road, especially at night.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Okay, all right, we're not going, Doc, you're gonna find
me there, yes, Gandhi.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
Okay. I mentioned the Mansfield Reformatory. It's in Ohio and
it was a prison that had a psych ward and
a TV ward on the top floor and they shut
it down. They have not done anything to it. There
are haunted houses outside, but if you book early enough,
they'll let you go inside. And when I was part
of the morning show there, we went in and we
were determined to spend the night. When we got to
the top floor, which was the TV ward and the

(08:10):
psych word. I kept feeling one of the people I
was with touching me on my back, yeah, and pulling
my hair and it was an ice cold hand, and
I said, get off me, stop touching me. It's not funny.
And they were all like, no one's near you, we're
not touching. I said, I'm sorry what, no one's near you,
we're not touching. When I looked and no one was
near me, and things started falling off the ceiling. When

(08:31):
I tell you, we sprinted out of that place. We
went screaming like little idiots out of the Mansfield Reformatory
within fifteen minutes of being inside there. Because nope, I
felt it.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I felt it.

Speaker 8 (08:42):
It pulled my hair, it touched me.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
At wow, I love you.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
You said, it's a psychiatric cord and a TV ward.
Everyone into the room start coughing. Ready, go caugh Okay, okay,
that's the sound of the ghost of the TV war.
They're colling, can't stop coffing. There's coughing coming from the coffin.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's so funny because she says, she runs out of
the house when I thought my mom's house was haunted
in Somer's New York. And in the middle of the night,
I got up to go downstairs and get a cup
of water, and something stopped me from going down the stairs.
I just felt physically stopped me. And so instead of
me like that, I'll go back to bed.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
So if I see it or hear it, I have
to go.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
I have to go investigate.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
We were staying in this old, old, huge, massive pile
of a villa in Tuscany several years ago. A lot
of our friends we all got together and render this place,
and the people who own it say this place is haunted.
It had a huge, huge wine storage cellar that was
like the size of a half of a football field
below the villa.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
It was that big.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
This villa was so big, it had like a third
and fourth floor. People were living up there.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
We didn't know.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Didn't even know they were there because the walls are
so thick and it's huge. Anyway, I swear to God,
down the hall I saw a man walk from one
bedroom across the hall to another bedroom. Really, and I'm like,
holy crap, did you see that? And of course what
did I do? I had to run down the hall
and look under the beds and look in the closets
to make sure there was no one there.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
I knew it was sane.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
No, I had to I had to prove to myself
that it wasn't like someone who broke into the house.
And I had to prove to myself it was. It
was definitely a ghost. And apparently it was because there
was nothing down there when I.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Got to take a bat with you to make sure.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
No, I just ran down there.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
We are drinking too, But he had a hat on,
like this black hat. And I'm not saying like Abe
Lincoln stove pipe hat, but it was. It was like
it was a big hat and the guy had a beard.
It wasn't a Lincoln.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
He didn't.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
He didn't summer in Tuscany. I don't. But I saw it.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
But I had to run to it to find out
if it was a ghost.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Don't you have to do that? No, need to go, Yeah,
prove it.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
I always wonder, and I've said to Andrew, who are
the people that in the scary movie? Here's the noise
and they're like, haudah, who's there? And they go look
for it? It's all of you. It's you people. You
go looking and I will jump out of window.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
I have goodbyes, I know, but you know, the old
white guy doesn't die early in the movie, so I'm in.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
I know.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
That's why I'm extra scared, because the brown girl usually
is first.
