YA Paranormal Author Michael Phillip Cash Reveals His Scariest Fears - Book Swag Giveaway Included!

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...

Kings Park Psychiatric Center

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.

Michael Phillip Cash is the author of the four-book series A Haunting on Long Island.
