Mississippi’s Singing River
~ Dixie After Dark ~

…an 18 minute video

“The Pascagoula River, deep in Mississippi, has one of the most mysterious legends to come out of the south. Its a strange musical type sound that rises from the waters of the river itself. It’s something that has been experienced for centuries, and is still experienced today.” (Dixie After Dark)

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Weston, West Virginia

“Once known as the Weston State Hospital, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia, opened its doors to patients in 1864. Once, it was a house of horrors with severe overcrowding, inhumane conditions, and rampant violence. Today, it is unsurprising that it is considered extremely haunted.”
(Legends of America)

~ the Virginia General Assembly authorized the hospital in the early 1850s as the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
~ a building was designed in the Gothic and Tudor Revival styles. The building followed the Kirkbride plan, which called for long, rambling wings arranged in a staggered formation, ensuring that each connecting structure received abundant therapeutic sunlight and fresh air and that patients were allowed privacy
~ consultations with Thomas Kirkbride were made, then-superintendent of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, a building was designed in the Gothic and Tudor Revival styles
~ this establishment was designed to foster the best-known concepts of patient care
~ the asylum was located in a rural area where patients would be housed among strangers only, discouraged from seeing anyone they knew, patients were not even allowed to receive gifts or mail
~ construction began in late 1858, initially conducted by prison and slave laborers. Skilled stonemasons were later brought in from Europe.
~ construction was interrupted by the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, and the partially built hospital and surrounding grounds became Camp Tyler for the Union
~ the first patients were admitted in October 1864
~ the very first patient was a housewife who had “domestic trouble.” The first logbook used at the hospital lists reasons for patient admission and includes causes like grief, brain congestion, the feebleness of intellect, seduction, and novel reading
~ Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum has been featured in several paranormal television shows. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is the largest hand-cut stone masonry building in North America and is purportedly the second largest in the world, next to the Kremlin
~ tales of hauntings and unearthly spirits lurking within the building and on the grounds started long before it ceased to be a hospital. After a few decades, the reports of hauntings and the sounds of restless souls became commonplace. Some workers were said to have stayed only a few days, quitting after hearing inexplicable noises, such as the squeaky wheels of gurneys rolling along a tiled hallway
~ thousands were committed to the asylum, and many died there. Over 2,000 people are buried in the cemetery
~ spirits are numerous, ranging from Civil War-era ghosts to children to ex-patients and staff
~ murderers, rapists, and other violent offenders are said to continue to dwell in the building along with others whose only crime was depression or substance abuse
~ sightings include staff and visitors seeing ghostly figures walking through the hallways at night and glimpsing shadowy figures at all hours. One doctor even reported that a spirit followed her home and continues to trouble her to this day. Others have reported seeing a ball of light moving in a hallway and spying apparitions dressed in white
