A Frightening Night at the Asylum

Nikon D810, 1/320 sec, f/16, 16mm, ISO 200

Welcome to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston WV. The asylum is billed as one of the most haunted locations in the United Staes and I spent several hours, at night, on a group photography tour! Yes, it was pretty scary to be in a room by yourself, I mean seriously scary.

There is a lot of daytime photography opportunities on the grounds and inside the asylum. But, night time is when inside of the asylum really shines, especially when light painting the hallways and cells.

Again, the asylum is seriously scary at night; at times I found myself seeking out other photographers just so I wasn’t alone for a bit. Afterwards, everyone in the group admitted to doing the same thing.
