Ghost Adventures Clovis Wolfe Manor

The creepy old home on Clovis Avenue that’s been at different times a sanitarium, a convalescent home, and a Halloween attraction has now become something new  – a paranormal destination.

Wolfe Manor is the site of popular spirit-seeking tours and a Web-based ghost investigation show.  This week, it will be featured on an episode of the Travel Channels hit ghost reality show Ghost Adventures. It is set to air  Friday, January 8th, at 9 E/P.

In it’s 70 years of operation Wolfe Manor became the final resting place for thousands of people. The originals owners lost the home in the great depression. After sitting vacant for years, Wolfe Manor was turned into the Clovis Sanitarium. Former employees tell numerous stories about poor conditions,  mistreatment, and abuse of patients.

Wolfe Manor housed 100-150 patients at a time until it was closed in 1997. Overcrowding was a constant problem, making it difficult for any patient to receive proper care. The rooms were so overcrowded that some patients slept in the hallways. With so many patients and a shortage of staff, there were a lot of deaths inside the mansion. Since there was no local coroner to come for the deceased the bodies had to be stored in the basement. They were sometimes there for days at a time.

The spirits are Wolfe Manor are very “hands on.” While researching some of the histories behind the mansion Zak asks paranormal investigator Terry Campbell if he has ever been physically touched. “All the time. That is the most frequent thing that happens here,” Terry responds.

The guys hear voices and feel strange energy even before the lockdown begins. Wolfe Manor is sure to be a hair-raising investigation.

This place is haunted by many ghosts the most violent of wich is the ghost of Anthony Andriotti a former owner who had a troubled life suffering from an alcohol and opium addiction. Anthony Andriotti died rather young in fact I believe he was in his late 30’s and his addictions we’re fueled by financial ruin. Anthony likes to push people and try to kick them out of his former home.

Many other ghosts who haunt this place aren’t aware they are dead because they were elderly and died of things like tuberculosis and neglect because they had severe mental issues when this was known as Hazelwood Sanitarium and Clovis Avenue Sanitarium. Wolfe Manor actually has had thousands of deaths over the years and in fact, at one time it averaged one death a day.

Off the top of my head, I can actually list 34 ghosts who are mid range power wise and live at Wolfe Manor so I think any real investigation should be interesting and active, to say the least. The second story is where I hope they spend the most of their time because it’s frequented by a ghost named Jimmy who I know if Zak uses provocation he’s going to regret it cause Jimmy is a cutter.

I can’t wait to watch this episode and I hope you enjoy it.
