A Travel Channel show is hosting a live Halloween show at a former psychiatric hospital in West Virginia, and that has some advocates upset.
The "Ghost Adventures" show will host a seven-hour show at the former Weston State Hospital and which has been renamed the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Cast members plan to search the asylum for paranormal activity and interview experts about its history.
Ghost tours are regularly conducted at the former hospital, which is now privately owned and operated as a tourist attraction.
Kathy Muscari of the West Virginia Mental Health Consumers Association says events like that create false impressions about people with mental illness.

Just because this place was a psychiatric hospital doesn't mean this puts a bad impression on the mentally challenged.If you watch any of the ghost hunting shows you would know they hunt for any kind of activity anywhere.Not just in hospitals, but also in personal homes, etc. They just look for a place that has alot of activity to see what they can come up with.
