Cedarcrest Asylum, Attempt # 2

After chickening out of our first attempt at Cedarcrest Insane Asylum, the crew decided to have another go. We preped by buying a new old school compass as an electromagnetic detector, packing our flashlights with shinny new batteries and breaking out the EVP recorder.

With new found courage we drove to the hospital and did a drive-by--finding to our dismay, a cop and three girls outside the building. Discouraged, but not giving up, we decided to head to the local watering hole for some liquid courage.

A half hour later, close to dusk, we piled back into the car and attempted another drive-by. The coast was clear. We parked the car, gathered our gear and headed up to the building, courage in hand!

Scaling the fence was so much easier in the spring weather!

We entered the building and explored EVERY room!










Kris' head and upper torso were missing in this picture...






Conclusion:
Our first attempt was much more active than this one. We felt at ease until the third floor, where Kris and I felt anxious. Other than a few odd light streaking on photos taken, nothing was found. On the third floor, Kris experienced rapid compass spinning that lasted only a second, but ended before we could record it. EVP revealed nothing conclusive.
Although this place is pretty creapy and houses many bats and other critters, it seems to lack conclusive activity...a tad disappointing.



About Me

My husband, Kris, and I have lived in Connecticut all our lives and fell in love with its two sides—the established New England beauty, and the dark history from its early settlement. Most recently, I found myself wanting to know more about real “haunting” and with that, the gruesome past of the pristine Connecticut in which I lived. Me and my fellow Path Assistant classmate, Erika, decided we would search and explore ghostly Connecticut in hopes of debauching myths about haunted places or proving, at least to ourselves and some followers, that creepy things can be unexplained. Of course we girls have found that when it comes to these adventures our husbands are more than willing to comply and come along for the journey at times finding our next place to visit. I hope you enjoy. Please write comments, as we all love to hear what you think about these places or even your own adventures. Anything will help in determining fact from fiction, haunting from hoax. Thanks!
