In 2007, a businessman named Joe Jordan bought the building, and his daughter Rebecca made a plan to make it suitable for historical tours and events.
The more time Rebecca spent on the asylum grounds, the more haunted she realized it was. One night, around 40 doors closed at once while she was there, and various strange noises were heard throughout the building. Some have even claimed to see the ghost of a little boy wandering the asylum halls.
The number of patients who died at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is unknown, but the grim mysteriousness and knowledge of what went down there has certainly led people to leave its an extremely haunted building.
Today, ghost tours are held at the asylum, and thousands of people attend them each year.
Would you be brave enough to go on a ghost tour of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum?
