Girls And Ghouls

The Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was constructed from 1858-1881. And this asylum wasn’t just a lengthy build, it was massive. Massive to the tune of 666 square feet. I mean seriously. Couldn’t they have added one more square foot? Despite that, the asylum was built to provide a curative effect through it’s aesthetic. Unfortunately, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and like many asylums of its time, TALA fell into disrepair, overcrowding, and abuse. Between spinning patients, freezing torture and rapid-fire lobotomies, it’s no wonder the asylum is home to a host of unrest spirits.   More than 10 ghosts have taken up residence in TALA and some
