Mysterious Image in Window

For years, horrible rumors have circulated about Lakeshore Mental Asylum. The original building burned in the 1920’s. It was here that many atrocities are said to have taken place, including shocking abuse of patients. A newer facility exists today, which is the subject of our photos. However, there are dozens of tales of sadistic workers beating and abusing patients on into the 1960’s. This would have to involve the present day facility in that case. Tales circulate that you can still hear the screams of abused patients as they were beaten, and there are sounds of chains and shackles being thrown around, there is even the legend of an evil entity that resides there today. I am assuming it lives in/around the old building. Like so many abandoned or ruined buildings, the original structure’s burned remains were used for satanic rituals. That is my reasoning as to why it must mean the old structure. We didn’t feel any presence, or sense anything “menacing” the day we looked for the original structure. However, as our pictures depict, there was an ominous thunder cloud that hovered in the atmosphere as we found a location where a building of unknown origin once stood, and it is there that the presence of the approaching storm makes for a very “eerie” picture. The clouds moved away, and it never so much as rained. Most interesting though, of the new mental facility, there is a shape in the lower left corner, a hovering, white shape with some translucency, that I didn’t find until I thoroughly went through our pictures. I don’t have an answer for this shape. *(Until now. This portion of the blog has been updated as an employee informed me the “white shape” is the reflection of a dry erase board on the opposing wall. Thanks for helping us clarify the image. )
I really want to find the burned remains of the old structure. Problem is, so many different reports of the location. A side note: There was an underground movie made about these events entitled Saint Lucifer’s. You can see a video and more pictures on my website http:www.paranormalspectrum.com

Hi there. Thought you might be interested in this: http://jkfowler.com/2009/12/04/elevate/ . Cheers, JK.
Thanks for sharing. It is a very compelling short story, (held my interest) and is well written.
My friend and I visited the Asylum. First off we did not know that this place was supposed to be Haunted. But we decided to poke around. We saw several spirits. I expiernced looking through a room window the sound of some scratching music. My friend expiernced flickering lights and saw someone or something in a window. I saw a clear image of a man. I can still give you the description of his facial features. We also saw a spirit at the same time of what appeared to be an old woman sitting in a chair in the Cafe’. The doors would open and shut without warning or sound. This isn’t your normal visit to the hospital. We are interested to learn more. If you would be ever so kind to help us. We searched but we can only find the same infomation over and over again. You might be able to help. Thankyou so much:)
I would like to be able to assist you. We are returning to this old Asylum to learn more ourselves. Did you visit the old ruins off of Toole’s Bend Rd, or the current structure off of Lakeshore near the park? I ask, because I have been told both institutions have hauntings, the oldest building though has the most paranormal activity. It is my understanding there was patient abuse in the old structure, which could have stemmed from medical treatments, but also happens occassionally in a lot of institutions at the hands of workers and also other patients. It is my understanding it was abuse of multiple variations. Anyway, the patients are supposed to haunt Old Lakeshore Asylum. Sounds of voices, yells/screams, shadow people, apparitions, disembodied voices have all been reported. As has the sound of a “music box” which coincides with your experience. I have repeatedly heard that there is one voice that loudly instructs trespassers to leave, which leads me to believe there is more than residual energy, that sounds more like an “intelligent” haunting… let us know what we can do to assist you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’m sorry for the delayed reply. I visted one of the newest building. I did some research and found that there was a Dr.Levitucs Hayes. I visited the Asylum yesterday for a followup. I looked at the directors and found no director that went by that name. Rumor? Or is the doctor not printed on the plague? I’m not sure. Thankyou so much for the “music box.” I’m glad to know that is a repeated expiernce. I’m not sure if this will help or not. But I went down farther and found some old building that did looked to be in some sort of fire. And a rather large building that looked similar to old pictures of the orginal asylum. I tried to find a sign or a plague to identify the building but I found none. This campus is bigger than I thought and I will be visiting it again today. I’m going to walk the campus on foot and try to find activity that has been reported several times. And try to identify the building that or in the back out of sight. Thankyou so much for the time that payed reading and replying. 🙂 If I find anything similar to the reports you expierce I will tell you.
P.S I visted the asylum near the park. I will go to the older structures you told me on Toole’s Bend Road.:)
I hope you have returned and maybe have more info. We are thinking about returning this month.
Sorry to bother again, but when I visited I had no expiernces. I did have sudden chills and felt like something was watching me. And got bad vibes all around. I found plenty of entrances of the buildings. But I wasn’t sure if I was exactly allowed in. Didn’t want to get caught trepassing. But I heard rumors of the graveyard of Lakeshore back behind the vetrans. I did find a old graveyard behind vetrans graveyard. But it was hard to say it was Lakeshore’s Graveyard. Most of the names on the headstones were rubbed away. I took photos of the name of the cemetry and took one womans name to see if she was possibly a patient. At the graveyard everytime I tried to walk away it sounded like someone was trailing behind me. I hear distinct footsteps. I would stop and listen and nothing would happen until I started walking again. Very wierd.. Glad to hear you are returning.:) Hopefully you find something I overlooked.
We still haven’t returned, but the odd thing is, sometimes a group of us can go to a site and none or only 1 will actually experience something. Then the next time, maybe more things will happen. Visit during the full moon, or just before or after, see if that helps. It’s supposed to be a time when there are greater geomagnetic forces which may boost the spirit’s energy.
I love reading all of the posts. I am a former employee of the state there at Lakeshore. I can tell you that in the seven years I worked there, I had many experiences. All staff does. Many people I worked with had been there for 25 years or more. There is a museum in the old Gothic looking building on the top of the hill. It is also offices, but a lot of information is contained in there. Also, there are tunnels running from that building throughout the campus. The other location off Tools Bend, was where back in the 1920’s and 30’s, patients were sent by ferry to work the chicken farm. It was documented that some patients would go and never return. They were being tortured and some may have been murdered. These locations, because they sit on the Tennessee River, are more actively haunted. Lots of torture occurred in the 165 years that Lakeshore has operated. In modern times, we understand mental illnesses and patients are treated very good. I do have stories of certain patients that were supposed to possessed. I believe one child was for sure. All staff and doctors knew this too. I can point you in the right direction, if you decide to return. I suggest a 3rd night passed a full autumn moon. …..Good Luck
the chocolate florist Thank you so much for your info. We would love to return, and I do believe the moons have a lot to do with paranormal phenomena. If you will send me an email to contact@paranormalspectrum, with any details, or if you’d like to join us when we return just let me know .
I would love to go with you next time you go to Lakeshore Asylum. I have digital recorders and cameras that we could use. I also went through a one on one paranormal investigation training course with some of the best paranormal researchers in Louisville, KY. Please contact me via email if you would let me tag along.
Thank you,
Angela DePrimo
Hi Angela, we are in fact returning this upcoming weekend if everything works out. Just email me contact@paranormalspectrum.com. Blessings!
I am also an ex employee of Lakeshore and love hearing the history.At times when I left at night it seemed strange the way that the older building had the fog around it.At times it seemed like something out of a movie.
I am very interested in any information in former patients. My grandfather died while a patient there in August of 1950. From what I’ve been told he had a mental problem, tried to hang himself in the barn behind my grandparents house. He was sent to Lakeshore (then Lyon’s View) where he reportedly “starved” himself to death a month or so later.
If there is any way that I can find out any information on him… PLEASE! Someone help.
Thanks for your time!
I am unsure how to get patient info with the new privacy act in place, but since this was 1950 records you seek, maybe start by contacting someone in patient administration to find out how you could obtain some of the info. Best of luck.
Late response, but I heard in the abandoned building they actually have file cabinets of old patients you can look at. I’m not sure how this isn’t a violation of any laws and privacy acts or if it’s still there as this was a year ago my friend went. So, you could always sneak in and look around.
I am a former patient I was there for 8 years I can tell you what went on in the late 1990’s through 2007 It was just like prison except it was hard to tell who you could trust the other patients were very unpredictable, violent, lots of corruption all the way to Lee Thomas in 1999
I saw a 13 year old kid one of the knights in magnolia cottage get restrained resulting in broken nose bloods oozing everywhere knocked out cold and dragged by the ankle out of the classroom into seclusion and the door slammed shut. I saw a female nurse stabbed in the head by another patient and I personally had nothing to do with it. but she was a bitch and her every intention was to make the patient so miserable that he would act out so the bitch could get off with the suffering from the other patients so as a result she pushed that one patient over the edge so he decided to help her retire a little early she got stabbed in the side of her head in the med line by that patient However this woman richly earned the fork in her head and carmas a motherf*****! Hey if there is any former staff reading this this is Joel M. Didn’t I tell you your crooked ass state facility would shut down Who’s delusional now! Lol yeah choke on that bi*** told you for 8 long years. If you want to know more about the former lakeshore asylum please send me a message thanks.
Hi there
I’m really interested in visiting the grounds. I heard on the radio this morning that Humber college is having a tour of the tunnels? Wondering if anyone heard about it and is going? Is there anyway to get into the buildings, Or can you only look from the outside? How long would you say it would take to tour the asylum, the cottages, the tunnels and the graveyard. I’m hoping I can do it all in one trip at night! Let me know 🙂 Thanks
I haven’t heard anything about it and wish I had in time to join.
The back of the building you took a picture of is actually part of the old original structure. They dismantled the wings of the building… and that is definately the most haunted building at lakeshore ! The “cliffside” picture taken that you say an old building stood was not one of the older structures there. But there are tunnels leading to that location. Most buildings are going to be torn down starting the beginning of 2011… but the original will still be there… the basement of that building is the most haunted place on site ! Its the human resource building.. if you went inside and asked to look at the picture of the original building with its wings they will probably show you…
Thanks for the info. We returned last weekend and found a lot more than on the first occassion we posted the pics you’re referring to. The updated pictures and videos should be up soon. Lakeshore has a magnificent legend attached to it, and we will go inside and ask for a tour before any more razing is done.. thanks for the tidbits of info. Appreciate all the information we can gather, as Lakeshore will be one a few local sites to get mentioned in an upcoming book I should have published by the Spring if all goes well.
Hey I recently moved to knoxville and am extremely interested in paranormal activities, as being an avid ghost story chaser in my hometown. I was wondering if anyone has the address or is able to give directions to reach the Asylum? I’m a student at UT, so if directions can be provided to the place from UT that would be great. Thanks.
5908 Lyons View Pike, Knoxville is the address to the current facility. You can roam around and find older buildings on site. You’re not far from it.
I was researching some places to do a Photoshoot and was wondering if there was any way to possibly get the old buildings into shots with cars. On google satellite I can’t really determine what I’m looking at. This location looks amazing and I really want to do a walkthrough someday.
I myself am a student here at UT and have always been fascinated with the paranormal. I’ve been a huge fan of Ghost Adventures and believe it or not, I have learned a lot from watching them. In my opinion, out of all of the ghost hunting shows on television these days, Ghost Adventures has to be the most real for me because of how in depth they go with their research and how they analyze their findings so intensely. Anyways, I and a couple of paranormal enthusiasts were wanting to conduct a ghost hunt at the original asylum (I’m guessing it is the one in the picture above). Does anyone know how I could get a hold of the property owners as well as the building owners? Thank you. Feel free to email me at bballsportsman@yahoo.com.
I’m a Lakeshore employee and came across this site looking for info on the ‘hauntings” since I work in the building pictured and have had alot of co-workers comment on strange sounds around here at night. However, I have to de-bunk your picture of the back door. I happen to work in that office and can say with confidence that is no ghost…but the reflection of a dry-erase board that’s hanging on the opposite wall. I even went outside to verify and sure enough, the “ghost” is visible in the window right now. If I had a camera with a telephoto lens handy, I could take the exact same pic as shown above. That is, of course, not to say that it isn’t haunted…I haven’t been in here at night, but some of my co-workers have been and can verify that there is a definite presence about.
Thank you so much for sharing the info. I will make a notation in the blog to correct what I considered to be a mysterious anomaly in that window, glad you identified what it was.
as an employee of lakeshore i can tell u that nobody is even in those buildings at night! the one u have pictured above with the “thing in the window” that is the administration building and they all leave at 4:30pm. however i would agree that it could be one of the most haunted, but i went into the basement and found nothing but disappointment at not finding anything
I was wondering do you have to have permission to go into the building? Or can you just walk right in?
u cannot walk into any of these buildings any further then the front desk. it is a HIPPA violation to let anyone “tour” these buildings. and now that the place is closed…..i dont suggest coming in. KPD is monitoring the grounds and buildings.
I was wondering do you have to have permission to go into the building? Or can you walk right in?
You do have to get permission but you can walk around and become familiar with the building easily without permission, there are many broken windows and such, which allows you to attempt pictures/videos and audio recording. Then if you still want to gain access you can go to the newer facility and ask for the maintenance or grounds keepers and see what they’ll say. Depends on who is working if they will accomodate you, but some of them find it amusing, others will scoff.Good luck.
once again i will say that there is NO permission for anyone to gain access to these buildings! there is no longer any employees that will give access. i am security on grounds and i promise you after talking with the other security guards….no permission will be granted. also, for anyone who takes the above post as “permission” to gain access to any building…..you are at risk of being cited by knoxville police dept of tresspassing!!! i caught FOUR carloads of people lastnight who said they found persmission on this website and had they not come out of the building at the exact moment they did……i would have had to call KPD out. im not trying to be an ass……but i want everyone to be aware that there is no such thing as permission to these buildings….including the admin building as there is nobody employed in it anymore. i understand the facination with the place…..but to enter these buildings you are risking serious physical issues. each building is full of asbestos…..and for anyone who does not know, that causes lung cancer!
could anyone give me directions to the old sight from I 40 west bound starting from the papermill exit? I would like to visit the sight. Thank you.
hello all, i just moved to Knoxville and was wondering if anyone the number address of the burned down mental asylum tooles bend rd or a number address it is close to???
Wish I could help but I do not have that info.
Hey can anyone give me the # to the asylum in Knoxville my e-mail is cracker4411j@gmail.com Thanks
I, along with some of my fellow investigators, are interested in conducting an investigation there. From what I have gathered, there are numerous buildings that are said to have paranormal activity. I was wondering, what is the most highly active spot(s)/building(s) that we should conduct an investigation?
On a side note, we plan on conducting the investigation early this fall if anyone is interested in maybe having multiple teams across the campus to conduct one big investigation, please let me know. email me at bballsportsman@yahoo.com. Thanks!
as a former resident of both apple and cherry cottages, as well as freedom house and peach cottage. I can tell you for 100% fact that that place is haunted. I was 8 years old when i fist set foot on the grounds, from seeing ‘GOST” and ohter lesser gouls to hearing the cries and woes of the departed. i can show you most of the places i was and i remember the old buildings at night haveing a terible presence . email me at henry_becky for more info.
henry_becky2009@yahoo.com
Wow, is what comes to my mind after all these years. I will back up Henrys post that it is in fact haunted because I too was a resident there. That place haunts me to the core to this day, I still have nightmares and just thinking about that place rocks me to the core.
After seeing a news flash on Yahoo News about Lakeshore closing mid 2012 I started searching for other people (kids that was there) and found this. I’m guessing that not to many from that time speaks about it. Things that we (kids) went through back then shocks me. My memories of being there are few but what I can tell you will shock most of the people reading this blog, it now brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it, it was a true horror in my life, I have never been the same after I left and still I have nightmares about it. You will believe in hell if you had to stay there for 1 night.
I’m sorry in advance for my grammer, I been up all night wondering if I should reply to this post. Fearing that it will bring up more stuff in my brain that I forgot (for good reason I am sure). Just for the record, im not crazy, I am a small business owner with a family, just a little fyi there.
Well, here it goes I guess.
I think it was late 80’s when I was there, don’t know what cottage (think it was peach, not clear). I was around the age of 12 to 14 years old. First night, well first week I was there I did NOT sleep, they gave me something to sleep. I laid there in the bed listening to people scream all night long. I dont remember how long I was there either, I know it was a few months but when I asked my parents about it, they said they do not want to talk about it. No help there. All my father would say is that I was a different person when I came home and that “they did something to me there didnt they”?
A few years back I tried getting my records from when I stayed there, well, that came to a dead end real quick when they told me all the records were destroyed by a fire. Strange… Anyway, one night I just couldn’t take it anymore from the moaning and screeming and ended up in a room with a table in the middle of the room, strapped down with a shot in my arm, it was like being in a nightmare with the devil coming at you and your body unable to move or run, what a horror.
All the time I was there I always felt something was around me, watching, touching me in a way. You couldn’t leave because there was steel screens on the windows and locked doors plus, didn’t know where to run, that place is big.
I remember other kids being there as I was but I can’t recall ever really talking to anyone or any of the other kids making contact with me nor any others, we were kinda in our own nightmare really is all I can think of.
I remember the staff doing tests after tests after tests on me and the others. I recall meds that had white labels on them, no writing what so ever. Was this like testing drugs on the kids? I have questions, many questions really. I recall one med I was given because it burned my face, white tube no writing and it was a gel that they put on my face and it would turn red (my face) and sting for about 10 minutes or something and I would have to peel it off, like losing a layer of skin almost. I tried to tell them to stop and they kept doing that for the longest time.
I recall that all the kids had to walk up a hill to go eat everyday and that alone was scary because there were adluts there as we (kids) were and often they would go crazy and screem and other stuff im sure, just remember the screems. I ate I think frosted flakes and a little carton of milk every day because the food made me sick that was fixed.
One time, the time I lost part of myself that night was when the staff thought it would be funny or just to torture us kids was the night they took us on a “history tour”. I still feel like vomiting as I write about it. The staff took us to a building that was closed down, no one was there, no lights but the staffs flashlights. I remember in detail all of us (kids) were so scared we all huddled up in a tight group behind the staff as we walked through this place. It was a bottom level, dark, cold, evil, chains on the walls, paint hanging off the walls, damp place. As we walked through there nearly all of us were shaking and crying and listening to the staff talk about what use to happen there ( dont ask what they were saying because I just dont know), we went other places like that but after that night I think I just became numb.
I remember a place near one of the cottages they would let me go. It was an old pond and a concret bench. I sat there and rocked holding myself, I guess just trying to cope with this place. I can recall many times I have seen ghosts there, many times, they were everywhere.
Another day, I was looking out of the windows looking at the road when I saw an old woman with long grey hair (looks like it has not been washed in weeks) and a long white dress or hosptial clothes. She looked like she was in her late 70’s, she was old. She also had a baby what seemed to be, holding it in her right arm, cupped in her right arm I guess. Walking slowly talking to it like a normal mother would do to a child when all of a sudden she stopped in the middle of the road and started punching the child! I lost my mind at that point and jumped up and started screeming at the staff! They ran outside and took me back to the room where a few of the other kids and I slept. After a bit, one of the staff came in and said that it was a doll of a baby, that it was not a live baby. Crazy stuff like that went on all the time.
That is pretty much what I can remember off the top of my head. That alone I think is to much for any kid back then. I would love to hear some other people talk about what happened to them back then. I know it takes a lot to talk about it, trust me. If anyone wants to contact me you can contact me by email: nikegolfpr0@yahoo.com
I would like to hear from you. maybe you can help me bring out some more of my lost memories from that place. Maybe that is why I hate Knoxville to this day. I heard that those cottages are not there any more, anyone know about that and when did they close them and why?
Thanks for reading my post and hope more people come out with thier stories (horrors) of being there.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it must have been difficult. I will contact you by email. But I thank you from the bottom of my heart and encourage others to share their experiences. I can say this, in a video we’re releasing soon we had a small amount of interesting activity and our feelings there brought chills to most of us. Something startled us, maybe human, maybe animal, but we never discovered what it was. Anyway, thank you and you will hear from me – Tama
It certainly took a lot of strength for you to even pull these awful truths from your memory. I am so sorry you suffered. On the flip side, you show a strength inside of you to discuss this information with others. I can’t help but be aggravated with your parents, as well, when you tried to tell them. I hope you never go back to “visit”. That is in the past and you need never to return. Simply know the good that is in your life now. Bless you and God speed!!!!
hi there I was a patient there when I was 13 and 16 I was there for suicide attempts any way I got put there 2 times and I was in the building where the children were and were the young adults were the first time I was there I remember hearing and seeing evil and gentle spirits and some of the evil spirits still scare me to this day I also have seen this old lady with a baby well at first I did not know what she was holding there was also children ghost they were not to bad they seem to be playful they seem to want to be around the younger children more they also seem to look out for the younger children that was there I remember a child I think she was about 8 but she watched over the 6 yr olds more and there was this women who seem to be pacing floor all the time as if she was looking for something I have seen faces in the windows and I have felt things I am not scared of the children spirits or the old lady anymore these ghost or spirits should I say because if they went through what I did I understand why they do what they do see I grew up in state custody and I have been every where in Tennessee but lake shore is not a place to mess around in well it is closed down now and I think it is a good thing these spirits need rest….if you would like to know what else I have witnessed then please feel free to email me at katdaygen@gmail.comme name is Kathy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I used to work across the river from the old site, and from what we could tell, it looked heavily guarded…
Where is the building on the main grounds (park area) that is supposed to be the most haunted, and how easily accessible is it? I’ve been once, but the only building I was able to enter was a really run down school-type building that didn’t have any activity, just evidence of a bunch of homeless people living there (mattresses in the gym, doritos bags everywhere, etc.) How do you access the Toole’s bend road building?
I went to the school building last night and had alot of activity.
hey i was just researching this place i havent heard about it til recently one of my friends is going i think this weekend and it sounds really interesting. i am a big supporter on all the ghost hunter paranormal activity things that go around and its always fun to find an explanation. but anyways glad i found this site.
Excellent site. A lot of useful info here. I am sending it to some friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And obviously, thank you on your effort!
Does anyone know whether or not the original location of this mental institution was in fact on Tooles Bend or is this just the location of the ruins? I am doing some side investigating with this in connection to something else I have found interesting…. I have searched and searched and can’t really tie off any loose ends. If the original location was on Tooles Bend can you describe exactly where on Tooles I can find it? I have a feeling something eerie is going down around a particular location and this may be it…
What I meant by ruins on Tooles Bend was just like — were the old burned facilities/remainders/etc transported and dumped kinda thing… or did the building stand at this location
Ok the old site off of tooles bend is jacked. I grew up in Knoxville and we all used to try and go there as kids. It was a rite of passage. Some people I know also set a small fire there in the 90s. Since then there has been a grounds keeper/security person there. I havent been back in over ten years and I moved away from the area around five years ago. So the info could be wrong now. To get there all you have to do is go down tooles bend until you come to the interstate over pass. Park your car and start going through the woods. It’s about 1/4 to 1/2 mile away. Once you you come to the tree line your on your on. If you get caught you will go to jail. There uses to be dogs out there too. You could try and get a tour of the place from the grounds keeper but we all likes to sneak in. Once you get in just go to the basement and good luck. If you are sensitive to these things it won’t take long and if your not you will be. I still don’t know why they haven’t just torn that place down. Anyway, when you get done there skip on over to chapman hwy and check the most haunted house in Knoxville. It was only on that show sightings three times.
Yeah it’s going down there.
the original buildings are where the facility is now. it has never been moved. it has stood there on lyons view for over 100 years. however years ago the grounds were much bigger. where the river now currently sits, used to be an area where the patients had farm land. unfortunatly when the flooded the river it took over much of the patients farm land.
sorry, i posted below and meant to reply here. the facility is NOT on tooles bend. i know this, because in the 80s we used to go nearly every friday night when i was in high school. the actual coordinates for the facility are: Coordinates: 35°51’46″N 84°1’27″W….and the best i can find, the address for the location is 3360 keller bend. you can see it from pellissippi parkway if you are traveling from alcoa to oak ridge/knoxville. look to your right (towards the water) prior to the northshore exit. in the 80s we would park in the small church parking lot and walk through the field. pellissippi parkway now blocks you from doing that…..there is also a small trailer on the property. i was told in the 90s that UT owned this property and that someone from UT lived on the property to keep people from entering the building.
i am WRONG! meh. sorry. 40 has not been good for my memory. these are the coordinates 35°51’46″N 84°1’27″W and the address IS 2616 tooles bend. sorry! and it was beech grove baptist church on tooles bend that we parked to cross over. i cannot apologize enough!
Coordinates: 35°51’46″N 84°1’27″W
and the best i can find, the address for the old knoxville insane asylum is 3360 keller bend rd. NOT tooles bend. you can actually see the asylum from pellissippi parkway.
Burned remains can be found west side of the dirt empty lot down the hill facing Lyons view pike
Walked by there and around the buildings last night. Doesnt seem haunted, just dead. My friend said they closed it down in February and most of the patients went to Pensicola. Also signs are now marked that it is state property and no tresspassers allowed.
Not sure if this is the same place or not, but in the early 90’s when Pellissippi Parkway was first being built some college friends & I decided to go to the “old” asylum. I don’t know if it is still there or not as I have been away from Knoxville for many years. But I remember once the new Parkway was built you could see the old building when you drove by. What asylum is this place? Is it still there?
Anyway, back in the early 90’s we walked across the Parkway as it was being built. I remember it wasn’t even paved yet. We started walking towards the old asylum but a helicopter flew overhead with a spotlight. We were out in the open with nowhere to hide. We also heard some dogs start to bark so we ran back to the car. Never made it in the old place, always wanted to see it. Is this is the old location of Lake Shore? Anyone know what I am talking about? Thanks, interesting site (and I cannot see the pics here they are, for some reason they did not load).
If they are outside in the garden, they depend upon natural sunlight, but
when indoors, it really is up towards the gardener to utilize the light they need.
Even so, another review with a UFO subcommittee from the
AIAA disagreed and said that at least 30 percent in the cases the government has studied were yet
to be explained. They were orderly and methodical inside their approach.
I am Hayden. I have been researching alot, and one of my friends warned me to never go near those buildings at night. They are incredibly haunted not only by the patients, but by evil spirits (demons). Alot of satanic worshipping goes on there at night, and there are pentagrams on the walls, and candles everywhere. I heard that one of my friends went in there at night, and was chased off by these men in black robes. Weird! Also, the same friends dad used to work there. He strictly warned him of all the evils of the place, and the fact that a doctor had shot himself on the property after becoming mad. The place is incredibly scary, and I wish I could hear more stories of patients, and these tunnels.
