There's an old Victorian asylum about 12 miles from where I live, been derelict since the early 90s. I went in twice with a friend who does urban exploration and both times I picked up on something in the east wing that I couldn't account for. Not visual, more like a pressure behind the eyes and a sound just below what you can properly hear. My friend felt nothing but I was genuinely unsettled.
What I find interesting is that old hospitals seem to generate something different to other haunted locations. Whether thats residual energy from prolonged suffering, or something about the architecture and materials, I genuinely don't know. Stone buildings with a lot of iron fixtures seem to come up repeatedly in accounts I've read.
Anyone else noticed a pattern in what parts of these buildings tend to be most active? Basements and east-facing wings seem to crop up a lot in the literature on this. Would be good to hear from others who've done proper investigations rather than just ghost tourism nights.
