I have never heard of this place but I would like to visit this mental hospital and explore around. I like seeing old buildings but not if there haunted. I would go with a big group of people though.
I have never heard of this but this asylum sounds intresting I would love to visit this mental hospital to explore around because I always loved seeing old things and if it was haunted then it would make it more intense but I would have people to go with me to not make me alone there.
I have never heard of this place. I would love to go visit this hospital. I am a big fan of exploring places, especially abandoned/haunted places. I have played throught Batman Arkham Asylum, and that game was creepy, so I would love to visit this place, regardless of haunting.
I had never heard about this asylum, I find it too interesting since I am a fan of paranormal stories, but I still wouldn't dare visit it. Normally horror stories are about psychiatric hospitals or buildings like that, so it seems too logical to me that the place of the story is an Asylum.
I have never heard of asylum. I would like to go visit that hospital and see what things are true, see if you really hear cries or see things. Obviously I wouldn't go alone because I'm scared but I also like this kind of things.
I like the haunted places or places that have some legend.
I have never heard of asylum. I don't think that I would ever want to vist this hospital because I think that it would be a little sketchy. I think that it would be a little scary and I would never really want to go here if I don;t have too.
I have never heard of asylum, but based on the article i think it would be cool to check out for content like for youtube. I would visit that hospital for youtube because some youtubers that go to haunted places get like millions of views, i think that it could have been and maybe still is.
I haven't heard about this Ararat Lunatic Asylum, but I don't think I ever want to hear about something like this, It just gives me the creeps. I wouldn't ever think about going to this hospital, I would rather be put in a mental hospital than go to a lunatic asylum. I didn't know an asylum could be haunted but that just adds to the many reasons of not wanting to go to one.
I have not heard of the Ararat Lunatic Asylum. I definetly would not want to visit this hosptial for many reasons. It sounds like a very scary and unsettling place. I did not know that an asylum could've been a haunted place like this, but it makes sense.
I have never heard of this asylum But I have seen videos of people visiting asylums but never seen one in person. I do not think I would visit this asylum because I think it would be scary and mess with your head. I would assume that an asylum would be haunted because I Bet many people have died in the hospital.
