Ryan and crew have solved the mystery of the ghost nurse, and are summoned to a haunted mental institution where many of the incarcerated children were tortured, and murdered. The energy is horrifying, physical, and very, very angry.
Can Ryan convince the ghost kids to help him put their uneasy spirits to rest, or will their own pain and suffering lead them to inflict far worse on the living invaders who have disturbed their rest?

Have to say I am loving this series. Five star awesome all around in this episode, which discover that the Hospital Ryan and his crew was shooting with his episode at was right next-door to where his parents died. To my understanding, his parents were attempting to open a portal, which they now need Ryan for and his father is about to take over his body to complete that task.
A lot of stuff happening in this issue, but I'm not clear on what that is. Evil ghosts (I guess) taking over people's bodies, the nurse from the previous issue isn't a suicide?? Ghost kids in an asylum. Ryan's dead father wanting him to open some kind of portal. I'll read the final book, but right now I'm lost.
The entire series was slowly building up to this volume. Ryan and his tele team manipulated at different levels while Ryan himself is on a forced journey of self discovery, as he tries to uncover tangled threads from his sordid past. The story hits crescendo as the horror hits the roof. The next volume should be tremendous. Great stuff.
