I have never heard of Ararat Lunatic Asylum . It sounds very odd. I would never want to visit the hospital. There are so many better hospitals I could visit. I feel like the hospital would be haunted.
I have never heard of this asylum but I have heard of insane Asylums before. I wouldn't want to visit this hospital now because it sounds creepy. I could've guessed that Asylums could be haunted because they're private and usually for people who need help or prisoners.
I think that asylums are very interesting and how they are haunted with people that have lived there before. I would want to visit because it sounds creepy, and I think that if I find something you could talk to the ghosts with the different ways of communicating with them and finding out what it was like to be kept in one of these hospitals.
I have never heard of this asylum, I have heard of others but not this one. I think it would be a cool experience to visit it as I like to explore places but at the same time it would be kinda scary. I think it could be haunted and I do believe in paranormal activities and ghosts.
No I have never heard about this asylum. I rather NOT go to that hospital never ever. It could be a very haunted place.
I haven't heard of this asylum but I have heard of others like it. I would not want to visit it because I bet it is very scary to look around and see where the asylum patients were treated and kept. I feel like when someone visits a place like this, they become very paranoid so they might be imagining what is happening like voices or footsteps.
I do think that it would be very scary to visit a haunted asylum like this, but I also think it would be interesting to see ghosts of people that have stayed there. I do agree people could start imagining things, but there are people that have had audio recordings to back up that it is haunted.
I do think that witrh the Asylum i have never have thought or just heard about the Aslyum and I do not know mostly nothing about that topic and the other thing is i did not know that it was about a hospitle that is was from just a long time ago, lastly I wouldnt ever go visit it becuase im not the type of it that doesn't like any creepy things or nothing creepy.
I have never heard of this asylum and I don't think I would visit it, because I'm not a big fan of creepy things like haunted houses. I bet the asylum is old but I feel like paranormal enthusiasts would be looking for a story and so may have made up the supposed activity.
I do think that there have been many stories about this asylum because it was a very famous place from when it was built until it closed in 1998. There have been many deaths from patients in the asylum and they are most likely to still be there today.
