Do you want to know what it's like to hunt for ghosts? The third season of our public ghost hunts starts in January 2010. For info and Registration click here. The Old Tooele Hospital has been the site of many acclaimed haunting's and various types of paranormal activity. You may be surprised to know that two popular movies were filmed in this mysterious structure. The first movie was called “The Fastest Indian”. This movie documented the true story of motorcycle legend, Burt Munro. The second movie filmed at the hospital was “The Stand” by Stephen King which is considered to be a fantasy story based on potential post-apocalyptic events. While these movies definitely brought some attention to the structure, a new hospital that has been hailed as “State of the Art” was constructed in the county and the Old Tooele Hospital was officially closed for business in the year of 2000. Today, if you visit the structure, you will find that it is used for two different things – half serves as an area for the care of the elderly and the other half serves as “Asylum 49”. |
In the year of 2006, a man by the name of Kimm Andersen elected to create “Asylum 49” as an attraction for the youth and other members of the community for Halloween. This attraction is a haunted house theme. Kimm Andersen had a difficult time accepting stories and events that surrounded the paranormal. However, after spending quite a bit of time researching the Old Tooele Hospital, he quickly emerged as a believer that it did appear that the structure had a unique share of paranormal activity. His wife, Rebecca, eventually contacted a man by the name of Troy Wood and an organization of paranormal researchers referred to as the “Utah Ghost Organization” or “UGO”. An investigation was conducted in the year 2007. UGO discovered that the Andersen's suspicions were correct and that several ghosts haunt the hospital. UGO has been conducting ongoing investigations since and along with Asylum 49, have added the public ghost hunts so that anyone with a curiosity with ghosts can come witness them first hand and learn how to hunt for ghosts. |
