Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures crew travel to Ruston, Louisiana to investigate the Old Lincoln County Hospital, a location steeped in dark history and rumored to be haunted by the spirits of former patients and staff. The team sets out to uncover the truth behind the unexplained shadows, strange noises, and eerie apparitions that have been reported by visitors and employees alike.
Upon arrival, the crew is met with a foreboding sense of unease as they explore the abandoned hospital, which once served as a tuberculosis ward and mental institution. The team uses a variety of high-tech equipment, including thermal imaging cameras, EMF detectors, and spirit boxes, in an effort to capture evidence of paranormal activity.
During their investigation, the crew encounters several unsettling experiences, including hearing disembodied voices and witnessing a door slam shut on its own. They also capture several anomalies on their equipment, including a figure in a white gown seen on a thermal imaging camera and strange light anomalies moving through the building.
As the night wears on, the team becomes increasingly unnerved by the activity they are experiencing, and Zak confronts the spirits head-on, conducting a solo lockdown in one of the most active areas of the hospital. In a chilling moment, Zak seemingly becomes possessed by a spirit, experiencing intense emotions and physical sensations that leave him shaken and in tears.
Throughout the investigation, the crew consults with local historians and psychics to gain a better understanding of the hospital's past and the potential reasons for its paranormal activity. They learn about the dark history of the tuberculosis ward, where patients were subjected to experimental treatments and often left to die. They also hear stories about the mental institution, where patients were allegedly subjected to horrific abuse and mistreatment.
In the end, the team leaves the Old Lincoln County Hospital with a newfound respect for the power of the paranormal and a deeper understanding of the trauma that may be lingering within the building's walls. The crew's experiences at the hospital are sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats as they witness the chilling evidence of the existence of ghosts and the potential for spirits to haunt the living.
