Day #6- They're Coming to Take Me Away, HaHa

Probably only madre knows the song title for today.  And I guess I shouldn't joke about crazy people because what we saw today was no laughing matter. 
Day #6 was all about the paranormal.  We watch so many shows on the subject that I often forget why I had us stop in a spot.  I couldnt for the life of me remember what had orginally brought us to Northport.  We ended up at University of Alabama, which is in the sister city of Newport.  I think the spirits kept us in the area via the storms, otherwise we would have missed something amazing.  Google jemison center of old bryce hospital and you will see where we were.  It is a totally abandoned old insane asylum.   We were left to our own devices- oh and we had all of our devices with us- to explore this place.  It is over grown and crumbling.  I can honestly say I have never been scared before on all of our investigations...until today.  I felt like my legs were paralyzed in the front hall.  We were there during the day, but the place is so overgrown that it could have been night.  It probably took us an hour to move deeper into the hospital.   Our equipment was not disappointing us and the place was very active.  At one point, some teenagers showed up with their mom.  Apparently they had been there the night before and wanted to show her the place.  We encouraged the kids to brave the crumbling stairs and go upstairs.  During this, the mom wandered off.  All of a sudden she came running down the hall saying she had to get out of there.  I have never seen a person so terrified.  She stood there trembling.   I was telling her it was ok and to breathe.   She said she had heard a voice saying, "Help me!".  This was very likely given words that we heard and the history of the place.  She gathered her kids and we were once again left alone.  Somehow 3+ hours melted away and we finally had to pull ourselves away. 
Our next stop for the day was Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama.   This place has been investigated by several shows that we watch.  Once upon a time, Sloss Furnaces was a steel mill.  The steel was sent to make the high rises in NYC and the cars in Detroit.  The working conditons were horrific and many people died here.  The place itself was pretty impressive,  but it started out as ho hum on the paranormal end.  That's until my device said "basement" at the top of a set of stairs that may have had a "Do Not Enter" sign which we chose to ignore.   Everything changed once we were in the tunnel.  I caught multiple pictures of a bright blue light of some sort moving around and trying to form.  This was clearly not from any light source in the tunnel because there were none! 
Moving further on down the highway, we stopped in Huntsville, Alabama.  Maple Hill Cemetery is very old and the biggest cemetery in Alabama.  It supposedly has a playground called "Dead Children's Playground" hidden away in the center.  After winding forever thru this massive cemetery, we realized that the playground was not in the center as reported.   We finally got out, hiked thru some woods, and found it hiding at the back.  Unfortunately,  live kids were there playing.  I figured taking pics at that point would get the cops called on us.  We waited out the kids and were eventually able to go sit on the swings.  That's when the teenagers came.  Loren asked if they were there to swing or for the ghosts.  They said both, so we decided to let them have at it.  
Our plan was to make it to Chattanooga.  But after so much time outside, we were just done for the day.  We stopped in a small town called Scottsboro and that's where we will end our day.  Tomorrow will take us to Tennessee,  so stay tuned.
