Essex County Hospital Ghosts
At present the main hospital building survives, before its eventual demolition several Paranormal Investigation teams have been allowed to explore the property and its ghosts. The latest being American TV's Ghost Hunters, which found plenty of evidence that the building is indeed haunted.
On the first floor of Building 5 people have reportedly seen full-bodied apparitions standing in the hallway and one worker felt someone touch the side of his body. While doing his rounds, the assistant hospital administrator, Tom Hamilton, had an overwhelming feeling of fatigue when he walked through a particular hallway.
The hospital covers more than 365 acres of property and the underground tunnels are used to connect each of the buildings. In the tunnels people have seen flickering blue light. In the morgue voices have been heard and on the second floor of Building 11 people have reportedly seen the figure of a nurse walking down the hall and then disappearing.
Overbrook Insane Asylum was used in the film Choke starring Angelica Huston. Many crew members had ghostly experiences. One member experienced a satanic dark energy in building five and refuses to talk about it even today.
