Show Notes
The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe one of the alleged spookiest places in the world, the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital in South Korea. This hospital is said to have been owned by a crazed doctor director who conducted cruel experiments on his inpatients, resulting in many losses of life. Alongside this there was also a serial killer inpatient and alongside that, staff and family members of the inpatients also begun dying without explained causes. Did this place become haunted due to all the trauma? Or has this story gotten away with itself a little? There’s only one way to find out… PROBE!
