Anyone else been to the old Briar Hill asylum in western PA? Something seriously off about the east wing

Never been to Pennsylvania myself, been too far from Sheffield to go chasing buildings. But I'm curious what you mean by "seriously off" - are we talking feelings, cold spots, the usual stuff people report, or something more specific?

I ask because I've read a fair bit about asylum hauntings and a lot of it gets muddled up with the power of suggestion. You go in expecting something and your brain obliges. That's not me calling anyone a liar, it's just how the mind works, I've seen it explained in some of the NDE research I follow.

That said, east wings in old institutions do seem to crop up a lot in these reports and I don't know what to make of that pattern. Could be pure coincidence. Could be something about the layout or the history of what happened in those wings specifically.

What did you actually experience in there? The more detail the better if you want anyone to take it seriously rather than just pile on with "ooh spooky".

@Phillsy52 east wings in old asylums tend to be rough - usually where the more "difficult" patients were kept, so theres a lot of residual history baked into those walls.

Would love to know if anyone's done EVP work in there. I've found that locations with that kind of traumatic history produce some of the clearest responses on recordings, way more than your typical cold spots or feelings. The feelings are real but they're hard to document, audio is where it gets interesting.

What specifically happened to the OP in that wing? Behaviour changes, equipment going funny, something heard?
