Oh my Ghost [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 21 - Tour inside the insane asylum

What was also tough, after I proposed to Zhan and we kissed each other, we suddenly heard the " Ding " as the elevator door opened. We were not even standing in front of it, we were still in the entrance area! Zhan found this totally exciting, but I would have liked to leave right away.

We wanted to save the champagne for later, when we were in the hotel and inform our families and friends about our engagement and of course to toast our engagement privately.

Zhan took my hand and we started our tour of the cursed haunted house, the insane asylum that just still looked like it could resume operations immediately and smoothly, even after so many years. And while I was anxious again, Zhan was excited and curious. So you can see what I do for Zhan and what he means to me. I even swallow my fears just to make him happy.

And Zhan immediately proved to me again that he knows more than I do when it comes to haunted houses and their past. I had only researched the circumstances of what life was like there and why the asylum was closed. Zhan, however, had looked into the stories of the patients and also more about the haunt itself.

So we stood a few feet from the elevator, Zhan squatted down and took pictures of it and told me, "A little girl named Amy who lived in this asylum used to play in the elevator. She would always wait until someone came and then proudly push the floor button for that person every time. Everyone liked the little polite girl who suffered from severe epilepsy. The doctors gave her some candy every day to pay her for her "elevator service" and Amy was really happy about it. Unfortunately, she had a brain aneurysm that ruptured when she had another epileptic seizure. She died in the elevator all alone. There was nothing anyone could have done for her. But even after her death, the doctors put some candy in the elevator for her every day. Just to remember the little girl."

"So she's a ghost and still in the elevator?" I wanted to know.

"I don't know. But if she is, I'll leave her a little candy here." Zhan searched in a pocket of his backpack for what turned out to be a lollipop. He tossed the lollipop into the elevator, said, "Thanks, but we'll take the stairs." the elevator doors closed and we continued walking.

We walked through the visitor's area into the patient lounge area, where Zhan said he could clearly feel that the air was colder and heavier in this room. Was he trying to tell me that there were ghosts there? Probably. Anyway, he took a couple of board games from the shelf and put them on a couple of tables ready to play. He added a deck of cards and turned on the vinyl player with the song of the singing nun.

This made it look like the patients had just stepped out of the room for a moment. No kidding! That was totally crazy! But even crazier was how a closet door opened and a teddy bear fell out! I was already freaking out inside with fear again and Zhan was laughing. He took this teddy bear and put it on the sofa. And right after that, the air in that room was much more pleasant!

We could see a doll carriage start to roll all by itself. It just rolled past us! Zhan took pictures and videos. Wow! We should have had this in the haunted house series. Why didn't we think of that? Oh yeah, we didn't have anyone on our team like Zhan. Because Zhan is unique!

Next came the patient rooms, then the doctor's rooms. In the doctor's room, on whose sofa sits this creepy doll, Zhan asked me, "Do you actually know the unofficial version of why this insane asylum was closed?"

"No. Only the official one." I admitted.

"A young man said to have looked a bit like actor James Dean was institutionalized by his family. His illness? Homosexuality! He was given many therapies here, including electric shocks. But nothing they tried helped. His relatives did not want a lobotomy, they were strongly against it. So the treating doctor had to keep looking for a solution to cure the homosexuality. His last attempt at a solution? To drive the disease out of him in the most brutal possible way. He let the young man be brought to him and locked himself up with him in his treatment room. He gave the man an injection that incapacitated him, but during which he was fully conscious. Then he pulled down the young man's pants, laid him half over the desk, his ass the doctor pulled toward him, and then he raped the young man for hours, over and over. Until one of the male nurses noticed the patient was missing and they remembered that he was last at the doctor's office. They went to the doctor's office, which was still locked, and broke open the door. There they found the doctor bent over the young man, still stuck inside the young man. They dragged the doctor off the young man, he was dead! The doctor had kept giving him new injections during the torture so that he would continue to be incapacitated. At some point, presumably, the man's heart just stopped and the doctor was so busy fucking him and liking it, didn't notice the young man die." ***At the end of the chapter I have something to say about this.
