Chapter 16 - Oaksfield Mental Asylum-Part 2

"Oaksfield Mental Asylum opened in 1932, it was the number one place to send people if they exhibited any strange symptoms at all. This led to a lot of people getting treatment when they were perfectly healthy. The studies on mental health back then were not as, let's say, up-to-date, and many of the patients were forced to go through painful procedures including lobotomy." Carly explains the history as she opens the gate and leads the group inside. Belle has started the stream, he switched the stream to his phone so that he didn't look suspicious or like a crazy person. Carly leads the group to the main entrance of the asylum and stops just outside the doors to tell them more. 

"The asylum officially closed in 1978, a patient escaped the asylum and reported it to the authorities. The case got a lot of media attention and the police were forced to close the asylum. But the head doctor, Dr. Lawly, was not happy with the news. The day before the asylum closed, Dr. Lawly murdered many of the patients before killing himself once the police arrived. A while after, this asylum became a popular ghost-hunting spot, but that soon stopped as the structural integrity of the building got worse. My team and I have worked to renovate certain areas of the asylum to allow this tour to go through. We will be going to a few special areas, going over some more of the history, and hopefully, we will find some ghosts!" Carly exclaimed. She opens the doors to the asylum and they all step inside, with Belle receiving his mission from the system. 

[Mission Details: Defeat the evil spirit and protect the haunted tour group.]

[Evil Spirits Defeated:0/1] 

The mission was a bit different compared to the other two. It seems the missions depend entirely on the circumstances surrounding them and aren't set in stone. Protecting the tour group seemed easy enough, but based on their reactions to the asylum, they couldn't see the ghosts that might attack them. 

"This place is super oppressive, it's like I can feel the souls of everyone who died here," Leslie whispers to Belle. 

"A lot of people died in this asylum, there's probably a lot of ghosts here," Belle whispers back. He already felt like someone was watching them, and could see flashes of movement in the corner of his eye. 

"Our first stop is the nurse's break room on the first floor. There was once a nurse named Judy who took her own life in this room after witnessing the horrific things being done to the patients." Carly says, leading them to a room with a couch and a table in the middle of it. It was clean where the rest of the asylum was dusty, Carly must have cleaned it beforehand. In the top corner of the room was a nurse, she was hanging by a noose and floating around the ceiling. She noticed the tour group when they walked in, but didn't seem to care all that much. 

"This room was once a popular spot for overworked nurses to take their breaks at. Nurses back then were only allowed short breaks before they needed to get back to work. This created a very stressful work environment." Carly explains. 

"So are we going to see any ghosts?" Shay asks, her tone is a bored drawl, showing no signs of respect for Carly. 

"There is a potential, many people have claimed to hear noises or feel something touch them. In this room, people have said they can feel something brush their shoulders or the tops of their heads." Carly says. Right as she mentions that, the nurse ghost moves through the crowd, the bottoms of her feet sweeping past Ben and Shay.

"What was that!" "Something touched me!" They scream out. Belle and Leslie try to hold back their laughter, out of the corner of his eye Belle notices a smirk on Glenn's face, odd. 

"Now now, let's calm down, even if it was a ghost, the nurse in this room isn't known for being harmful." Carly comforts them. Ben and Shay both look a bit more on edge as Carly takes them out of the room and starts leading them to the next location. It's as they approach the stairs that Belle notices Glenne trying to sneak off. 

"Going somewhere?" He asks, putting his hand on Glenn's shoulder to stop him. 

"It's none of your business, let go of me," Glenn growls a scowl on his face and a glare in his eyes, completely different from his behavior before. 

"Suit yourself," Belle says, taking his hand off Glenn and watching him leave. 

"What happened?" Leslie asks when Belle catches up. 

"There's something off about Glenn, I don't know what it is though," Belle replies, a contemplative look on his face. 

"Let's just catch up with the tour group, I fear something bad may happen to them," Leslie says. 

"Ah, you too? I think they're playing a dangerous game with this asylum, with so much bad blood here, there must be some dangerous spirits at play." Belle confides. They join the rest of the tour group at the top of the stairs. 

"Where did Glenn go?" Carly asks, a worried expression painted on her face. 

"Ah, he told me he had to go, something came up so he left." Belle easily lies. Carly breathes out a sigh of relief before directing them to a room on the second floor. 

"The story of this room is very popular, the patient who lived in here, John, was a former celebrity who apparently lost his mind. He got sent to the asylum where he was subjected to all the torture most patients went through. He eventually died after being given a lobotomy that didn't heal right. After his death they found letters scattered throughout the room, they started normally with him saying things like 'I don't belong here, this is a mistake' before becoming more crazed. The police searched the records of this place after it shut down, and they found out that John didn't have any illnesses and was sent here by a scheming family. Sources say that if you write his name on the wall three times, you can summon him." Carly informs the group. 

"Hah, yeah right, let me try." Shay scoffs. She grabs some lipstick out of her bag and starts writing on the wall. 

"I'm not sure that's a good idea," Belle warns. 

"Shut up, you're just scared, asshole." She insults him as she continues writing. When she finishes writing the third name, the lipstick drips down the wall like fresh blood. The miasma in the room gets thicker and the wall appears to be blurry as a hand reaches through. 

"AHAHAHAHAHA! SOME FUCKER FINALLY SUMMONED ME! TIME TO HAVE A NICE MEAL!" A high-pitched voice screams as a head sticks through the wall. 

"Shit." Belle and Leslie deadpan.
