There's a story of a group of friends who explored an old asylum in NYC. As they walked through the dark hallways, they heard voices whispering and doors slamming on their own.

They ran out as fast as they could and some of them still have nightmares about it. The asylum has a really dark history of inhumane treatments and many people died there, which might be the reason for all the spooky happenings.
