Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum: A Real-Life House of Horrors

The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is one of the most notorious psychiatric hospitals in history. Thousands of patients were sent here, many never to leave. Overcrowding, experimental treatments, and horrifying conditions turned this facility into a nightmare. But what lingers within its walls today? With reports of ghostly voices, shadow figures, and poltergeist activity, this asylum remains one of the most haunted places in the U.S. Join us as we explore its dark past and paranormal legacy.
