Ghost Adventures will have unprecedented access to the entire asylum -- from the seclusion cells, where the most violent patients were shackled, to the medical center, where primitive procedures and autopsies were performed.
Built during the Civil War, the asylum is the second-largest hand-cut stone building in the world. For decades its thick walls housed the insane, the neglected and the unwanted. Violence was a common occurrence and inmates were often subjected to brutal treatment. Shut down permanently in 1994, this massive edifice has remained vacant ever since.

To aid in their investigation, Ghost Adventures will interview local witnesses, call on paranormal guest experts and utilize the latest in detection technology. Specialized teams will also be available on-site to research and review evidence as it's collected.
The Ghost Adventures crew -- Zak, Nick and Aaron -- will lock themselves into the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV, for the most ambitious paranormal investigation ever attempted. During this 7-hour live event, they will examine the reported hauntings and ghostly activity at this legendary landmark. From 8 PM to 3 AM E/P on Friday, Oct. 30
