The search for the most haunted building in South Africa continues [video]

South Africa’s very own ghost hunters, Phoenix Paranormal South Africa, recently said that they’ve discovered the ‘most haunted building in South Africa’ – an asylum in Gauteng that is still operational.

Is this the ‘most haunted building in South Africa’?

With Halloween just around the corner, paranormal stories have been doing the rounds in order to add to the ‘scary factor’.

In this case, Phoenix Paranormal reckon they’ve found the ‘most haunted building in SA’ – but for the sake of business, and to stop other paranormal enthusiasts from invading the grounds, the asylum has asked to remain anonymous.

“We would like to share with you all, one of our very first investigation videos of our dream location,” the professional paranormal investigative group wrote on Facebook. “We had the privilege of being the first to investigate the abandoned parts of the asylum. What we found was a labyrinth of long, dark hallways and wards, each telling its own story in the empty darkness.”

It is said that the institution stretches almost a kilometer from West to East and “is one of the most active places” the group has ever been.

Charmaine Roos, the co-founder of the group, later said that they believe that many deaths and suicides took place within this building.

“Staff and visitors report having run-ins with the spirits of these tormented souls which were once treated there as well as of nurses. Many of those experiences include the ghost of a red-haired nurse who would tend to patients, but once you look up into her face, she allegedly has no eyes.”

Looking for evidence of the unknown

The group, who uses high end electrical equipment to capture evidence of the unknown, also captured the voice of someone asking why they were there.
