After many years of interest in the paranormal field, I finally have something to share. On the night of June the 5th 2005, a couple of friends and I went out to an old abandoned psychiatric hospital in a town called Whitby Ontario, approximately a half hour east of Toronto. This hospital has been closed for close to 3 decades and has been a popular spot for ghost hunting and teenagers seeking a thrill and a place to get drunk and scare the living crap out of their friends. Every town has a place like this and ours in no different.

The area contains a couple of large hospital buildings, a powerhouse, and 16 cabin type buildings which were used as homes for the patients to give it a more friendly atmosphere. At night however, the friendliness is lost and the place becomes downright creepy. On this night we were exploring many of the buildings but this picture come from cabin #12. There were no smokers present and the camera was working properly. When the picture was snapped there was a very putrid smell that overcame all of us and was not present 10 minutes earlier when we had entered the cabin. In the picture there is some visible mist/ectoplasm.

What makes the picture even weirder is that in the window you can see a light on in a building across the way. This is absolutely impossible as there hasn't been power running through the hospital buildings in over 25 years. I tried to logically figure this one out but there is no plausible explanation for it. We thoroughly explored the area for a good 5 hours and did not come across one lit room in any of the buildings.
