The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

October 25, 2021 by Tara Hardin in True Crime Podcast

In this episode… We close out spooky season with our final haunted, paranormal, ghost-themed story for the month of October & Jen’s pick does not disappoint!

If there was ever a place that can go on record as being truly haunted…we would put our money on the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. The stories, spirits and tragedies that haunt these walls are far too many to recount in one episode, but the few that we do explore are cringeworthy to say the least & may even give you CHILLS!

In this episode… We discuss the incredibly controversial, personalized horror experience that is…Mckamey Manor. Think, Fear Factor meets horror movie bootcamp all wrapped up into a single, terror-filled experience. That’s even putting it mildly, yet thousands of people from all over the world sign up to take “the tour” and see how long they can last.

For some, it satisfies their inner adrenaline junkie and for others, they find that they may have bitten off more than they can chew, literally! There are many requirements you have to meet before you can even enter, including a full physical and Dr’s note. You’ll also have to sign a 40 page waiver that can take a minimum of 2 hours to plow through as you initial next to each insane, grotesquely horrifying thing they could possibly dream up to put you through.

Think you have what it takes to conquer McKamey Manor? To date…no one ever has.

In this episode… Jen continues our spooky season theme for October as she dives into the curses & hauntings of Lake Lanier. Figuratively speaking of course, because there’s NO WAY she’s ever going near this body of water! She shares with us several unsettling facts about the man made lake, along with the legends, unexplained accidents, & creepy tales of ghosts that haunt Lake Lanier to this day. Don’t believe us…ask the locals! To them, the spirits that reside here are very real and witnessed often.

Located in Northern Georgia, Lake Lanier is as gorgeous as it is terrifying. Week after week, this cursed lake makes headlines; delivering news of injuries, deaths, tragic accidents, suicides, and all too often, missing bodies of people or their pets that have yet to be recovered. It’s as if they just…disappeared. Don’t even get us started on the catfish. Monstrous fish the size of vehicles? Say what?!?!

Listen in and let us know: Would YOU vacation at Lake Lanier? Millions of people do every single year. Some won’t go near the water, while others dare tragedy to strike.
