Ghost Adventures season 12, episode 7 takes us to the Nopeming Sanatorium located in Duluth, Minnesota. Nopeming Sanatorium has a disturbing past, and the Ghost Adventures team is there to uncover the paranormal activity that has been reported by employees, visitors, and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
Built in 1912, Nopeming was initially used to serve tuberculosis patients, and it was later converted into a nursing home. It sat abandoned for many years before it was reopened to accommodate patients with mental illnesses. However, reports of neglect and abuse led to the hospital's closure in the 1990s. Locals have reported seeing apparitions and hearing strange noises around the hospital, leading many to believe that there are restless spirits trapped inside.
The Ghost Adventures team interviews former patients, employees, and paranormal investigators who have explored the hospital to gather information about the haunting. They learn that there are several hotspots in the hospital where paranormal activity is most active - including the wards, the morgue, and the boiler room. The crew gears up with their equipment and sets out to investigate.
As they explore the hospital, the Ghost Adventures team detects several instances of unexplained noises and movements, such as doors opening and closing and footsteps in the hallways. They also witness full-bodied apparitions and shadow figures moving around the hospital.
The team focuses their investigation on the morgue, where several patients died and were prepared for burial. They conduct an EVP (electronic voice phenomena) session and capture several disturbing voices on their recorders. They also use their thermal imaging camera to capture strange cold spots in the room, indicating the presence of a ghostly presence.
The boiler room proves to be another hotspot for paranormal activity, and the team discovers that it was once the site of a worker's death. They capture several EVPs and see shadow figures moving around the room. Zak also captures compelling evidence on his camera, showing what appears to be a ghostly apparition emerging from the wall.
The team also investigates a specific ward where patients were often locked up and restrained. They capture several unexplained EVPs and hear strange noises coming from the rooms. The team's resident psychic, Aaron, feels a dark energy in the ward, leading Zak to wonder if there are any malevolent entities present.
As the night progresses, the team continues to encounter paranormal activity, reaffirming their belief that Nopeming Sanatorium is indeed haunted. The Ghost Adventures team leaves the hospital with a wealth of evidence supporting the existence of ghosts and paranormal activity.
Overall, Ghost Adventures season 12 episode 7 is a chilling exploration of the Nopeming Sanatorium, revealing the dark and haunted history of a hospital that has long been abandoned. The evidence captured by the team offers a glimpse into the paranormal activity that exists within the hospital's walls and serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of neglect and abuse in mental health institutions.
