There’s also the mom who claimed a ghost used her phone while she was sleeping to take a photo of her.

While I understand there may be some locals who don’t want their city to be known for an insane asylum and all the negative connotations that seem to come with this fact, the truth is the building is there, its past happened, historical/haunted tours is big business and it’s one that brings people spending money from across the globe.

Got ghosts?
The Pennsylvania Society of Paranormal Research has a group in Erie that can help.
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.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
