GHOSTMAP

Halloween is known to be a great joyous holiday where we indulge in parties, dressing up and trick ot treating. This year with the bank account floundering for a lot of Americans, many of us will be spending less on costumes, and fewer of us will be going out. So rather than hitting the local Halloween party, spend Halloween as a Ghost Hunter and tune into the Ghost Adventures 7-hour live event October 30th on the Travel Channel.

This October 30th, Halloween, get a blanket and curl up to 7 LIVE hours of Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel, where Zak Bragan and his gang of Ghost Adventure-ers visit Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. The Ghost Adventures crew are best known as a three-man crew that lock themselves into many of the scariest places in the United States. Wandering around using night vision with various cameras set up. Their main way of ghost hunting and conjuring up activity is through provocation, which is sure to be interesting at the least in a onetime lunatic asylum.

At one time called the Weston State Hospital, this West Virginia facility served as a asylum for the mentally ill in the mid-1800’s. The history of the building holds fascinating accounts of Civil War raids, a gold robbery, the “curative” effects of architecture, and the efforts of determined individuals to help better the lives of the insane. But of all the ghosts to frequent the asylum it’s most famous ghost is Lily.

A little girl born into a life of insanity, having been born and left at Weston State Hospital during the Great Depression, Lilly stays on trapped behind the haunted walls of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. She hums and sings, plays with people’s hair, eats boxes of cracker jacks and walks the halls as a lonely little girl. Tune-in to Travel Channel October 30th starting at 8pm eastern when Zak, Nick and Aaron broadcast live from this abandoned hospital live for 7 hours. You’ll be able to get involved with interactive web casts as well as the live broadcast. The tv audience will be able to text and comment in real time.

Travel Channel’s 7-hour Ghost Adventures on October 30th is sure to scare your pants off, and give you a chance to be a real ghost hunter, or at the very least, a chance to make fun of the camera dude that always gets freaked out too quickly.
