I read a lot of YA novels. I especially love all things paranormal. The creepier, the better. I'm a big fan of Michael Phillip Cash's novels and I reached out to ask him one important question: Name a haunted location where he'd refuse to spend a night. Here's what he had to say...

You
Couldn’t Pay Me Enough to Spend a Night in Kings Park Psychiatric Center
By
Michael Phillip Cash
I
write about monsters, ghosts, haunted houses and other paranormal topics.
I do it because the afterlife fascinates me. Dead people fascinate me, just as
creepy buildings do. But do I want to spend a night in one? Heck no.
If
I were to name a place that you couldn’t pay me enough to spend the night
inside I’d have to say it would be Kings Park Psychiatric Center on Long
Island. Hands down.
Kings
Park Psychiatric was built in 1885 as way to alleviate overcrowding at other
“insane asylums”, and also as a way to provide more humane care for patients.
But by the 1950s things began to change. Experimental psychiatric procedures
were implemented and overcrowding became the norm. Things were no longer as
humane as they once were and hence the speculation that former patients still
wander the halls in a state of eternal unrest…particularly at night.
I’ll
definitely leave the overnight sleepovers at Kings Park Psychiatric to
paranormal teams and ghost hunters. I prefer sleeping with both eyes closed.
