"HELLO PEAKABOO! Welcome Back to Haunt The Haunted, and today-" Hajun was the one to start the episode, he turned the camera to Dal, who sipped on his Bubble Tea, absentmindedly looking to the side, until he heard silence and his eyes moved directly to the camera, everyone laughing at this, while Dal smiled, looking at the camera adorably as always, still drinking his beverage. "We are accompanied by Seth and Josh!" Everyone cheered, doing weird happy dances, while Dal still stood in place, swaying softly as he drank his drink and hummed sweetly while drinking "The baby was cranky today, so we stopped and got him his Bubble Tea if you wondered why he was so silent" Seth said, looking at the camera and gently caressing Dal's head, the small boy adorably melting under Seth's touch. "Yeah, the baby kept us on our toes today" Cheonsa joked, faking how tired of Dal's nonsense he was while Hajun looked back at the camera and smirked "Anyway, the baby will be extra careful today because spirits here are not as friendly as they were back in Ireland" He pointed his camera back to his twin, who made a noise of a baby agreeing, while the others melted at him. "Alright! Enough of the way too sugary stuff! Dal, it's history time!" He stopped and gave Jia the camera, the younger twin finally getting back on track and starting to speak.

"We are here at the Norwich State Hospital. This location was once called the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane and was built in 1904 atop an old Native American village. The Norwich State Hospital opened in 1904 and operated until 1996. At its peak in the 1950s, the hospital housed over 3,000 patients." He started, before taking a deep breath to try and relax, as he continued with the history. "October 1904 when the hospital first opened, it held 95 patients and was a single building. The facility quickly outgrew its meagre beginnings, and by the fall of 1905, it held 151 patients and had expanded its housing by adding two additional buildings. The original building was soon converted to administrative offices. In 1907, a third patient building was opened, and over the next eight years, thirteen structures would be added to the grounds. The hospital began to branch out, no longer creating housing intended only for patients, but for hospital physicians, a laboratory, an employees club, a main kitchen and various other structures to support the everyday workings of the hospital. Like most mental hospitals at that time, it was self-sufficient, a barn, two garages, a paint shop and a greenhouse were also added. By the end of the 1930s, over twenty buildings had been added to the grounds" Dal started, slightly dreading the fact it was an asylum. He hated those, that's why he was so fussy the whole day. And honestly, nobody blamed him for sudden disconnecting from reality. Hajun was no better but he felt more at ease, knowing neither Dal nor himself was alone in this. He continued for his twin with a colder tone, which was a surprise to nobody but it probably would be for the viewers "To provide an identification system, each building was originally assigned a letter name. The original campus had ward buildings grouped in pairs and designated as "North" for female patients or "South" for male patients. Around 1940, each building was given a name in honour of the founding superintendents and well-known mental health advocates such as Thomas Story Kirkbride and Dorothea Lynde Dix. Later buildings were named after recognized contributors to the hospital, including Connecticut governors Abraham Ribicoff and John Davis Lodge." He said, turning to Dal as the smaller twin continued "The Ronald H. Kettle Center opened in 1960 as the new medical-surgical facility and was the largest building on the property. Built like a general hospital, it reflected the then-modern belief that mental illness could be treated biologically on a short-term stay, thus reducing the need for antiquated long-term care wards." A shiver ran down Dal's spine as he said that. He remembered his time in the asylum and although it's the XXI century, boy oh boy, he was not treated as a child in a modern mental hospital...
