Anyone else been to the old Briarwood Sanitarium in rural Ohio? Something seriously off about the east wing

Never been to Ohio personally but the east wing thing is interesting because I've heard similar stuff about old psychiatric buildings where certain parts of the structure just feel different to the rest. Like the energy or atmosphere is heavier somehow. Could be psychological - you go in knowing it was the more restricted part of the building and your brain does the rest. Could be something else.

What exactly did you experience in there? Was it visual, sounds, or more of a feeling? Also did you go alone or with a group because I find people's accounts tend to vary a lot depending on that. A mate of mine reckons group dynamics mess with how people report things afterwards.

Has anyone actually done any proper research into what happened specifically in that wing? Patient records, incidents, that sort of thing. Sometimes the history lines up with the hotspots and sometimes it really doesn't, which I find almost more interesting tbh.

The east wing thing is really common with old asylums and hospitals, there's something about where certain rooms were used for specific treatments that seems to leave a residual energy behind. I've felt it at a couple of places here in Gloucestershire - Barnwood House being the obvious one locally. Some parts feel completely fine and then you walk through a doorway and the atmosphere just drops. Whether thats stone tape theory or something else entirely I dont know but it's consistent enough that I take it seriously.
