Ghost Adventures - Linda Vista Hospital - LA



Tonight—Discovery Channel—“Ghost Adventures”

This episode is interesting to me. Most ghost shows hit the typical historic spots, but the Ghost Adventures gang is hitting an urban hospital with lots of traumatic deaths. As someone who’s worked in ERs, I know just how strangely residual hospitals can be. I’m curious to see what they get on hauntings that will be “fresh.”

Here’s the Discovery team’s description:

Hospitals are for the sick and dying. For many, Linda Vista was their last stop before heading to the morgue. Linda Vista, located in the heart of east LA, is said to be one of the most haunted locations in Los Angeles. When you consider the rough neighborhood surrounding the hospital, it is no surprise that the hospital had a high death toll.

Before the investigation, Zak visits the incineration room, where the bodies of the dead were burned. While examining the room he comes across what looks like a bone fragment or a tooth from one of the hospital's patients.

Most the hospital looks the same way it did when it was closed down because it was abandoned so quickly after being shut down. The guys believe that when a place is left so quickly, and looks so similar to the way it did when people died, they location is more likely to be haunted.

The guys do not leave disappointed. They capture voices in the middle of the day, and later in the investigation Nick gets one of the worst scares in his life!

It’s going to be a frosty night. Curl up in front of the fire, tuck your toes under you so the monster under the sofa won’t get you, and enjoy another episode of the wackiest ghost team around. Tonight’s drink? Kahlua and hot cocoa. Be sure and take a hit for every “dude,” “bro,” and every time Aaron’s mouth hinges open.

Happy watching!
