Just in time for Halloween, Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures crew—Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin—are participating in what promises to be a pretty scary situation: they’ll be locked inside an infamously haunted insane asylum for seven hours starting on 8PM on Oct.30. The trio will be locked inside the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia, which housed violent criminals and other inmates from the 1860s to 1994, when it was shut down, and many of these dangerous spirits are said to still prowl its dark hallways. Our own Gerri Miller gets the scoop from Team Bagans...
Chernobyl - the very mention of this name brings up thoughts of the disaster that occured. In my work outside of the paranormal, I have heard stories that are just horrible. Stories of the Russian government paying people a lifetimes wages to go spend 10 minutes near the reactor throwing rocks on it trying to cover it up. Little did those people know they would only be able to enjoy that money for a couple days as they recieved lethal doses of radiation. Basically, they cooked their insides, like they were in a microwave. Sad.
Lake Erie is the sallowest of the 5 Great Lakes, yet it contains one of the least known Lake Monsters in the world. Unless you grew up on the shores of Lake Erie, like I did, I doubt you heard much, if anything, about ‘Bessie’. She is said to be a snake like creature, 30-40 feet in length, approximately a foot in diameter and grey/blue in color. ‘Bessie’ is most often seen in the Western Basin and was first witnessed in 1817.
There are many skeptics around, they believe that ‘Bessie’ is large lake Sturgeon, which are common fish in Lake Erie. The Sturgeon can reach sizes of 20 feet in length and over 200 pounds. Many believers refute this, stating that what they saw was much larger than a sturgeon and looked like a sea serpent.
'The Ridges" is probably the most famous 'haunted' place in Ohio. There have been many articles, books, stories, blogs, videos and ghost hunts conducted in this area. All trying to get video, pictures, proof that ghosts exist and that this area is extremely volatile when it comes to paranormal activity. The institution is now located on Ohio University's main campus in Athens, Ohio. Picture this, a major university right where the most paranormal activity in Ohio happens. Coincidence?
