I talked with Chris Baird and Jasko, paranormal YouTube investigators, about their adventures in the supernatural world. The two are set to explore Eloise Asylum in Westland, Michigan, and they share some insight into their journey and experiences with the paranormal.

New York Roots

Chris Baird and Jasko hail from upstate New York—Chris from Clayville and Jasko from Syracuse. The area is known for its beauty, especially in the fall, when people come from all over the country to see the stunning views of the Adirondacks.

"This time of year is the best," Chris said. "The views of the Adirondacks are amazing."

Jasko agreed, adding, "It's a beautiful place."

From Best Buy to Full-Time Paranormal Investigators

The two met working at Best Buy before they decided to pursue paranormal investigations. What began as a hobby became a full-time job as the duo started documenting their experiences on camera.

"One day, we picked up a camera, and it just transitioned into a full-time job," Jasko explained.

They have seen some pretty amazing and downright scary places, including the Indiana State Sanatorium.

The Craziest Experiences

Jasko said the scariest from the Indiana State Sanatorium.

"One night, we were the only people on the property, and we heard the loudest sound ever. It turned out the front door slammed shut with no wind. We tried to replicate it, but it would have taken a lot of force to do it—it was intense," Jasko said.

The experience was so intense that Chris and Jasko took a few weeks off afterward to recover. "It was one of the few times we were genuinely freaked out," Chris admitted.

Investigating Eloise Asylum

The duo is excited about their upcoming investigation of Eloise Asylum, but they plan to go in with as little information as possible.

"We're going in pretty much blind. Sometimes it's better that way—it keeps you open-minded and helps you get a more genuine experience," Chris explained.

Jasko added, "It's cool to compare your experiences afterward with the actual history of the location."

The Fine Line Between Stirring Things Up and Investigating

"I want to live comfortably at home, so I don't push things too far," Chris said. "But sometimes, pushing boundaries can lead to better activity."

Jasko said his fiancé supports his work but won't get involved. One time, she woke him up in the middle of the night, opening his eyelids after visiting the real Annabelle doll to make sure he wasn't possessed.

Spirit Boxes and Paranormal Tools

"At first, I was skeptical, but sometimes the responses are so accurate, it's hard to dismiss," Jasko said. "It'll give you names of people who passed there - it's amazing."

But Chris joked, "I'm pretty sure someone must be behind the scenes typing answers, but the accuracy can be mind-blowing."

What's Next?

They're also considering visiting haunted locations in Japan, the West Coast, and Florida.

"Tonight is more about getting a feel for the place," Jasko said about their upcoming visit to Eloise.

I suggested they check out other haunted spots in Michigan, like the Whitney in downtown Detroit or Fort Wayne, and the duo was more than enthusiastic.

"Absolutely. Let us know—we're always up for more investigations," Chris said.

From abandoned asylums to haunted dolls, these thrill-seekers push the boundaries of the paranormal.
