of "Ghost Hunters"...</i> I got chills. ...We travel to the nearly
200-year-old Madison Seminary

to ghost-hunting tourists has suddenly found himself
in over his head. We were walking out
of this room and an arm came out
and hit them in the neck. Clotheslined him? Clotheslined him. Our team is put
to the test... Please, let Richel be. ...as we face what could be our most challenging
haunting yet. What the hell
was that, dude? Richel and Brandon

to the edge. Are you alright? [crying] No. [ Suspenseful chord strikes ] [<i> Voice exhales</i> ] [ Buzzer, lock clicks ] -Hey. What's up, dude?
-Hey, man. Come on in. Man, sit down.
-Ah! -Alright. So.
-What's up? Guy I know,
his name's Adam, reaches out to me,
sends me a video message of a location that he purchased
several years ago. [ Ominous chord strikes ] It's called
Madison Seminary and he started doing
these ghost tours and allowing people
coming in, investigate. When we first started
"Ghost Hunters," we had no idea
the impact it would make. ♪ As a result,
we've seen an increase in the number of locations that will allow
amateur investigators in to try to experience what
they've seen on TV firsthand. But, now, he's havin'
some problems there. ♪ I'm glad that there are
a lotta people who are excited
about the paranormal, but, sometimes they get
ahead of themselves. They confuse ghost hunting
and having their own experience with paranormal investigation. This is what he
actually sent me, if you wanna
watch that. Yeah, sure. Hey, Daryl. It's been about
a year since we last talked. <i> We are still running
our public ghost tours,</i> <i> but in the past
couple of months,</i> the activity
has changed out here at Madison Seminary
dramatically. [ Sinister chord strikes ] It feels aggressive, at times.
It feels negative. Honestly, I'm finding
a hard time even describing it. On top of all of this,
I've even noticed a change in my volunteers' behaviors
and their attitudes, even their emotional well-being, <i> and some visitors have even
been physically assaulted.</i> I've been here for years.
This place was easy. You've been here with me.
You know that. <i> Why now?
Why, in the last 3 months,</i> <i> is this change happening?</i> <i> You know how much
this building means to me</i> <i> and I wanna keep
its doors open,</i> but I don't want it
to be dangerous and, whatever we can do
to fix this, that's what I'm lookin' for. So, now, it sounds like
you've been here before, yeah? Yeah, the place
is pretty active. I've investigated there
several times, even before he owned
the building, and it seems like things
have changed. Right. I mean, I know
this wasn't in our plans, but people might be
getting hurt,
-Right. so I think we need to get
there right away. -Yeah, absolutely.
-Alright. Let's do it. Alright, man. We're heading out. Excuse me! Look at this guy.
He ain't carrying anything. What's that about?
-I'm holding the door! Adam bought this property
and was opening it to paranormal investigation,
which, to me, is a noble thing. A lotta people wanna
experience this and they don't have a place
to go to do that, but, we have a responsibility to make sure<i> everyone</i>
is safe in that process. Ahh! So, when you get a case
like this, where people are claiming
the activity is getting darker, we have to respond right away
and, by helping Adam, we could help everybody else
who comes through that building. [ Rock outro plays ] [ Suspenseful music plays ] Alright. Cool, so I just started
looking up on Madison Seminary. Turns out that it was
built in 1846. It started as an institute
of higher education and then, it became a home
for Civil War veterans and Civil War veteran family
members, like a lotta widows, <i> you know. Then,</i> Wow. <i> after a while, it became</i> a mental rehabilitative
facility. My interest is
to find out how the mental
facility was run. -Oh, of course, yeah.
-You know? Back in the day,
not all of those necessarily
always treat people the way they should have.
-They didn't know how to treat most
diseases and stuff, so they would do
lobotomies. They would do all sorts
of crazy things. Seems like some
of the ghost tours and the paranormal
investigative tours that people do there are
really centered on the fact that it was
a mental institution. -Right.
-Alright. It looks like that's it, huh? Is that it, Daryl?
-Oh, wow-ow.
-Yep, that's it. ♪ Grant:<i>
The reason we're rushing
into this one, guys,</i> <i> is because there are reports</i> <i> of people getting</i> hurt<i>
at this location.</i> Daryl, Kristen, and I
will go on the tour. The rest of you guys,
get the gear out <i> and then interview
the volunteers</i> <i> to see if you
can find out more</i> <i> about how this place
has changed.</i> Roger dodger. [ Eerie music plays ] [ Ominous chord strikes ] [ Suspenseful music climbs ] [ Suspenseful chord strikes ] ♪ Daryl: Nice office, man.
-Grant: What a place!
-Richel: Yeah. So, clearly, this building
has a lotta history to it. Oh, it absolutely has
a rich history. It's 170 years' worth of it. Over all this time,
there were multiple names given to the facility,
but, when it was a school, when it started in 1847, a lot of those boys would go on
to be priests, clergymen, so the name
Madison Seminary stuck. But it doesn't become really
fascinating with the history until like the 1960s. The Ohio Department of Health
took the building over and used it as a facility
for mentally disabled women and former inmates from the
Ohio Women's Reformatory. It eventually closed
and was used by the city for various things. In 1993, it would be
purchased by a nursery who literally used it
for storage. -Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
-And that's<i> all</i> that it was used for,
until I came along in 2016. I got it.
No one wanted to help me. No one wanted to talk about it. Really? If anything,
this was "the nuthouse." What are the rumors
of the conditions here and what possibly happened to the women
that were staying here? So with a lot of the history, we've had
to dig it up ourselves and we could've went farther,
but we stopped after over roughly
220 confirmed deaths here. I have no doubt
there was abuse here. -All women?
-All women. Daryl: Yeah.
-Wow.
-Now, I have a love for history and, given,
I know the place is haunted, so I wanted to share this
as an attraction with everybody. That was the goal
and I have assembled a really good crew that keep
the tours running, you know? They run any events we do. And they do it for the
love of the place? -The love of the place.
-Yeah.
-Wow. -It's all volunteer-based.
-Strictly volunteer.
-Oh. ♪ And, in the last
three months, at<i> least,</i> I've seen a change
in their personalities, where people that are always
happy and fun-loving are turning into
closed-off individuals. What has kinda changed
in the past four months, that you can think of? I can't. That's
the hard part about it, is I can't figure out exactly
what it is that's going on. -Yeah?
-Because, literally, I would walk these halls,
opening the building, not even be afraid,

on providing support and services for widows, Army nurses,

in the Civil War and the

they tried to help<i> them.</i> So allegedly, you know,
the place has been referred to locally
as "the nuthouse." I don't know if you've ever
come across that or heard that. No. I have never heard
any citizen in this town call it "the nuthouse,"

about the property is that there were some
220 documented deaths. The Women's Relief Corps,
which began in<i> 1889,</i> went all the way
through 1962, so it's very likely
that you could easily have, in that amount of time,
200 died in that facility. There's been a lot
of confirmed deaths on the property,
which makes<i> sense</i> because this was a home that
helped families of veterans and it was a nursing home,
essentially, at one point. It was caring for people who needed a little bit
of extra help. Yeah. So, So there's
no documentation of anything, any type of like

music climbs ] [ Suspenseful chord strikes ] so, we scrambled
everybody together and made sure we came in
and did our best for you. So, I think we may have found
some interesting things about why this place
may have felt like it turned negative
over the past few months. We sent in a couple teams and they had some
pretty wild experiences. The first team,
Brian and Richel, they were up
in the asylum area. [<i> Beeping</i> ] <i> I don't feel good
in this room.</i> Brian:<i>
You okay?</i> <i> No.</i> [<i> sobs</i> ] Richel was starting to feel
a little sick and nauseous, like something
outside of herself. So, we're startin' to understand
where you're at, here, with the discomfort,
and we're startin' to see this. [ Suspenseful chord strikes ] <i> If there's somethin' that</i> <i> you're wantin'
to say to Richel,</i> <i> you could say it

taking offense to that, like, "Hey, come on. Don't do that to<i> her.</i>
Do it to<i> me."</i> <i> Can you tell me</i> <i> who's hurtin' you?</i> And I think the thought
of all the stuff that may have gone on here
started to hit him... [<i> Exhales
forcefully</i> ] ...and he kinda got
off his game. 'Cause we came in. We heard the stories of how
people were mistreated here and our heads
were filled with that. So, we had another team,
Brandon and Mustafa, in the other building, where you had reports
of a 7'0" figure. Now, on evidence review,
we found something on our thermal imaging camera
that is fascinating to us. This is Brandon and Mustafa in the Civil War side
of the building. Now, what we're lookin' at is
this is the fire escape and there's a door here. Now, something appears
in the window. Keep an eye on that window. [ Suspenseful music climbs ] See that? Now watch off to the right. So, our investigators
are on the<i> ground,</i> so, they should not appear
in the reflection at all. So this wasn't
a 7'0" tall<i> figure,</i> but there's no question there's some
activity here. Brian:<i>
I'm hearin' voices
from somewhere.</i> This is also the same place where<i> Brian</i> heard<i> voices</i>
the following night. So, you get a sense of why this is anomalous to us. 100 percent. I absolutely
understand, yeah. So, night 1, we had a lot of stuff
and it was uncomfortable. We came in.
We had almost a prejudice against what happened here. Then, the morning of day 2,
I woke up thinking, "We just don't have<i>
any</i> concrete proof that anything bad ever
happened to anybody here," and Mustafa was able to get into the historical
society with ease and what they were
telling us was that this building
did a lot of good. It was a valuable part
of the community. So, going in night 2, with this kind of information,
we approached it differently and we had a<i> very</i>
different experience, much more calm,
probably what you had when you originally
came in here. [ Suspenseful chord strikes ]
So, on the second night, I was up in the asylum
with Brandon and Mustafa and we were sitting
in the large room, trying to reach out
to the entities, and, when we reviewed
that audio, we caught a voice responding
to a very important question asked by Mustafa,
so we'll play that for you. Mustafa:<i>
Did you feel happy
in this place?</i> [<i> Static crackling</i> ] Yep. Put this on, and you'll feel it coming from the -- -Mm-hmm.
-from the back left. ♪ <i> Did you feel happy
in this place?</i> [<i> Static crackling</i> ] My best guess, it sounds
like a drug out, "Yeah." -That's exactly --
-Is that what it is? Okay. I was trying
to listen. Yeah, which, to me,
that is probably the most important
thing we've captured here. -Mm-hmm.
-You know, "Do you like living here?" "Yeah." Both: Mm-hmm. So, it's a daunting task,
to come in and save a building, and I feel like you've
been here for three years and I feel like you might be
getting at the point where the honeymoon phase
has worn off and you're kind of
maybe thinkin', "Oh, maybe
this is overwhelming." Like you said to us
several times, "This has to work.
This has to work." So I get it. There's a synergy here. In order for this building
to stay standing, people need to want to<i> come</i>
and investigate the paranormal, but, the history of the place
that you were going on, we came in
with that same mentality and, oh, yeah,
we got experiences. We got activity. But at what cost? And we know, with energy,
what you project is oftentimes
what you attract. I was gonna say
that, too. -Yes.
-'Cause your mentality has changed from night 1
to night 2. What I'm saying is that,
if we come in here with the wrong mentality,
we're not helping the entity. We're not furthering
this process and that's starting
to fight back and that's probably why
you're feeling this way, why your team
is feeling a little off, and I think,
if you change that mentality, they'll fall in love
with this place again. -Mm-hmm.
-So I think the goal for you would be: Let's find out
the real history. Let's do it justice. Let's only operate
on the truth. Let's not let our own fear
get in the way of helping the people
who may still be here. We need their cooperation
for this building to survive, so let's do everything we can to give them
the benefit of the doubt and make this work. ♪ [ Poignant tune plays ] They brought things to light
that I didn't even know and I will use that
information going forward and I absolutely think that,

to the bottom of it and you literally did. And It settles a lotta things
for me, honestly, so. As paranormal investigators,
