have you ever been to the anoka state hospital's tunnels yet?

[peterplaysbass]

@Ryan45ty I have not - but I've heard that place is pretty spooky.  Have you been?

[Ryan45ty]

@peterplaysbass no but i live really close

Ok, this is what I HATE about all the ghost shows on t.v. and online. Quit with the fckn stupid ass background music.It si more scary without music. evp's, noises, and such. but when you put in corny ass monster mash bullshit.

[peterplaysbass]

@vamploboluv17 3 months later... yeah, I don't like the cornball music either. I tried to pick something pretty subtle/anonymous, but I can't make everyone happy.

I brought my wife with on that tour, and she kept asking questions, which I thought was even more distracting. Next time I'll just set the camera down, have lunch, and come back and get it. several minutes of silence (or not?) would be tense.

I heard its hard to walk out of that place at 1:30 am in a straight line.. something must be up :)

[fucyourgod]

i worked here. My buddy's dad owned the place. Then he sold it to Paul. If your afraid of beer signs and old cash registers, then yes it is haunted. Otherwise no. HI MARTY!!!!!! Guess who this is

I happened to live in Anoka MN, this sounds interesting, but fuck ghost i have enough of em

[SchwagmasterJT]

I have lived in Anoka most of my life and have similar stories about the old State hospital that is now the workhouse.

[peterplaysbass]

The hospital and highschool are adjacent, on one piece of land the county owns. There's a cemetary on the school's property.  The graves were marked only with numbers (patient numbers from the hospital?) until they recently held a service for everyone identified.

[Halftrac]

Why can't this building be renovated & made useful again? Just asking.

[jtoatoktoe]

I think all the buildings down there are just too old and unstable to modernize.

Decided to shake things up a little, huh? Interesting vid. Nice job!

[peterplaysbass]

Thanks, man. I used to work there and I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I grabbed some footage. It's creepy to go up there alone.

New Vikes vid just posted, by they way.
