What draws someone to explore the eerie corridors of abandoned buildings? Join us as we journey with Courtney, a skilled photographer and behavior analyst, who shares her thrilling escapades through forgotten structures. We start with some light-hearted banter about attending an Aaron Lewis concert, tattoos, and hitting subscriber milestones before diving into Courtney's childhood obsession with the Houghton Mansion in North Adams, Massachusetts. She also teases her upcoming adventure to the haunted Trans-Allegheny Asylum in West Virginia, setting the stage for spine-tingling tales from its vast grounds.
The haunted history of North Adams takes center stage as we recount chilling stories of the Houghton Mansion and the infamous Hoosac Tunnel, known as the "Bloody Pit." Personal anecdotes bring these spooky sites to life, including a high school ghost hunting escapade and a close encounter with a train. We can't help but chuckle as we touch on the Ghost Adventures episode featuring Zach Bagans and our host's amusing admiration for him, adding a touch of humor to the otherwise eerie narrative.
Our conversation deepens as we explore the emotional resonance of abandoned places, from Rhode Island farmhouses to homes filled with personal relics. Courtney shares her powerful experiences capturing the essence of these spaces through her lens. We also discuss the creation of the Beltertown State School Friends Association and its mission to preserve mental health history, while weighing the ethical responsibilities of documenting such places. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and thrills, promising unforgettable stories and thought-provoking insights.
