Ghost Hunting?, ever done it? Options

[Doctor Soul]

Has anyone here ever went out late at night with a group of friends to search for ghosts? Do any of you have true ghost stories or experiences that has happened to you? I would like to know because a few of my friends and I are going to an abandoned insane asylum/mental hospital tonight and afterwards a famous bridge here in Los Angeles called "Suicide Bridge". Here's some information about the two..

Hollydale - Metal Hospital - In Pasadena behind the court house there is an abandoned metal hospital, but for some reason there is light shining through, when all the power has been shut off for years now. When you pass by, you see one curtain closed but then there is also one curtain that will close when you pass by. There has been people who have gone inside and gone down stairs, when they went down stairs it was pitch dark, and suddenly books where being thrown at everyone there. People have reported hearing voices, seeing orbs, and feelings of anger and feel very unwelcome. Doors have been reported to move on their own. Woman rumored to have killed herself unable to handle the voices after being at the asylum.

Colorado Bridge aka "Suicide Bridge" - A murder has occurred there, if you look carefully you can see a woman and her husband either dancing or fighting. Also at the front yard a girl has been seen about the age of 2 or 3 running around with a doll in her hand. Constructed in 1913, the 150 ft. high structure crosses the dry Arroyo Seco riverbed. Rumor has it that a construction worker toppled over the side of the bridge and plunged headfirst into a vat of wet concrete below. Assuming he could not be saved, workers left his body in the quick-drying mix to die. Allegedly his soul cries out for other desperate beings. This may explain why the bridge became a hot spot of sorts during the Depression when 95 people jumped to their deaths from 1919 to 1937. One of the most famous suicide attempts occurred on May 1, 1937, when a despondent mother threw her little baby girl over the railing and then jumped over herself. The mother died, but miraculously, the little girl survived the plunge. Her mother had inadvertently tossed her into some nearby trees, and she was later recovered from the thick branches.

My school is said to be haunted, as well. It's been around for an outrageously long time. At first, it was a hotel.. rumor has it that someone's finacee jumped out the window and committed suicide. What's the motive? I have no idea. So, after this said incident, no one wanted to stay at the hotel. They changed it into as asylum. After awhile, it died down so after many years of abandonment they decided the district needed another school.

I've always wanted to go ghost hunting, just for kicks. I live in the perfect town for it, too. It's an old historic site. I'm doing it one day.
