    Ep. 67 Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

    APRIL TOPIC: HAUNTED ASYLUMS
    Check out Buzz Killers every Sunday for new episodes! A proud podcast of the Podmoth Media Network. 
     
    In episode sixty seven we discuss the haunting of Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
    In October of 1864 the Trans-Allegehney Lunatic Asylum accepted patients for the first time, the civil war had delayed instruction and the building was often used as Camp Tyler. The facility quickly developed a gruesome history of inhumane medical practices that were once considered "state of the art" and it is not hard to believe that claims of paranormal activity has been made at Trans-Allegehney since its inception.

Perfect Balance

Macie and Nicole have managed to find the perfect balance of fun and light, paired with the some of the dark topics that come with true crime. They have a great chemistry!

FMWLPod ,

True crime & wine!

The perfect combo! Macie & Nicole share true crime, while drinking wine, in a lighthearted way.

Feels friendly

Sometimes it is hard to find somebody to casually talk true crime with. Listening to the Buzz Killers, our hosts manage to bridge the gap between being educational and well researched, while maintaining a fun tone, despite the inherent “buzz kill” nature of true crime information. Love it!
