June 24, 2025I am not rating this book because I went into it expecting it to be something it never claimed to be. I was looking for straight up ghost stories and it was clearly not that. Totally my fault.

Creepy Vibes!
Small backstory:
Paranormal Investigator and author of this book, Richard Estep and his paranormal crew explore and interact with spirits from a closed down and abandoned hospital called "Old South Pittsburg Hospital" (OSPH for short and located in Tennessee) as they wanted to find out for themselves if spirits and bad energies were trapped inside the hospital.
Thoughts:
This book goes deep into details of the old hospital as the author and investigator, Richard Estep interviews staff from when the hospital was active and when it was starting to go downhill as Estep wanted to know what caused the hospital to be considered haunted. Estep also does quite a bit of debunking which means he makes sure that the rumors he has heard about the place are in fact rumors or if the rumors are true.
The writing style of this author just flows along as he tells the experiences of what others have gone through and then the story kicks up a notch when Estep and his team set out to investigate the hospital. The first 30% or so of the book is mostly interviews with staff that once had worked there then the last part of the book is all about Estep and his crew with their experiences of their paranormal investigation. This is my second book that I have read by Estep and look forward to reading more of his true paranormal accounts of haunted locations. Giving this book four "Boo Spooky" stars!

4.25 rounded down
I have always been intrigued by OSPH. It's probably on my bucket list of haunted places to visit so I loved Richard's book about the place and his own investigation of it.

Brilliant investigation!
This was an extremely informative and intense haunting investigation. I loved every minute of this book! Richard Estep has a wonderful gift for this particular kind of writing. His narrative makes you feel as if you're actually there. I love his blend of history, medical information and his in-depth telling of the actual investigation. His books are my favorites when it comes to true hauntings! I've read nearly all of them and look forward to future investigations!
