Contrary to what may be the popular belief, things at the notoriously haunted Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum aren’t always filled with the doom and gloom of spirits stuck here for eternity. On Easter Sunday, the haunted former state insane asylum will host its 12th Annual Easter Egg Hunt and it promises to be a fun-filled event for the kiddos.

This year, an impressive 12,000 eggs will be scattered and hidden on the front lawn of the massive property.
