Tonight the Sci Fi Channel (now SyFy) features the Essex County Hospital on Ghost Hunters. The Essex County Hospital is the location of the live Halloween Ghost Hunter special tonight.

But why the Essex County Hospital? Some of the buildings you will see on Ghost Hunter tonight were built in the 1800s and early 1900s. In 1917, a storm left patients without heat for weeks. In 20 days, 24 people died. 32 suffered frostbite.

In World War II, deaths increased. Historians put deaths at over 10,000 at Essex County Hospital. Today, some believe that ghost still walk the halls of patients who have tragically died.

The Essex County Hospital has been featured on Ghost Adventures (Travel Channel), and the movie Choke. And even worse …… the Chicago Sun Times reports tonight to “keep an eye out for satanic dark energy in Building Five.” !!!
