In this episode of Paranormal Playback, the hosts dive into Ghost Adventures Season 1, Episode 6, featuring the haunted ruins of Overbrook Asylum in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. From creepy tunnels and abandoned morgues to real-life horror stories of electroshock therapy and frostbite deaths, this psychiatric facility’s dark history sets the stage for paranormal mayhem. The crew explores patient neglect, urban legends, and personal experiences that blur the line between ghost story and government failure. If you're curious about what inspired Grave Encounters, want to hear shocking real-life hauntings, or love a skeptical take on EMF readings, this one’s for you.
Paranormal Playback is your weekly deep dive into spooky reality TV—ghost hunts, dramatic reenactments, and enough EVP to raise the dead. Hosted by Charlie Holley, Melanie Malone, & Lauren Sanders.
