Saw this press release today about an event Ghost Hunt Weekends is doing, so I’m sharing it!
Ghost Hunt Weekends, the world’s leading paranormal event company, has announced a return celebrity ghost hunt with the stars of SYFY Channel’s “Ghost Hunters” and Destination America’s “Ghost Asylum” to be held at the abandoned Old War Memorial Hospital in Scottsville, KY on Saturday June 2, 2018.
Ghost hunting and paranormal enthusiasts will be treated to an evening of Photos, Autographs, Meet & Greets as well as an opportunity to participate in a live ghost hunt alongside Grant Wilson and The Tennessee Wraith Chasers at this return paranormal event to be held on the grounds of this reputed haunted hotspot.
“We are extremely excited to be returning to this haunted building,” said Chad Morin, President and Host of Ghost Hunt Weekends. “Last year’s event was such a hit, our fans have been flooding our inbox with requests for us to come back to the Hospital, the fans asked for it and we are delivering,” Morin added.
Built in the late 1940s, the War Memorial Hospital was built to serve the community of Allen County, Kentucky. It opened in the early 1950s and was the only medical facility of its type in the county, exposing it to multitudes of tragedy and loss. The hospital was purchased by a large medical organization in 1993, and in 1996 the doors to the hospital were closed. Since then the rumors of the building being haunted have been circulating through the town.
“This was one of the original locations of filming when we started our show Ghost Asylum,” said Chris Smith, founder of Tennessee Wraith Chasers. “The Hospital was so creepy, and so many unexplained things happened, I’m just glad we get the chance to ghost hunt in the building again, and this time with legend Grant Wilson!” Chris added.
The War Memorial Hospital was featured on season one episode one of Ghost Asylum on Destination America and sits vacant with the exception of being used as a haunted Halloween attraction during October.
The War Memorial Hospital is located at 99 Hillview Drive in Scottsville, Kentucky. It is 20 miles southeast of Bowling Green, Kentucky and 58 miles northeast of Nashville, Tennessee.

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
