★Eternal Spirits Paranormal · 2025-01-08 · via Google
“Worst place if you are looking for any type of communication from staff, they don't answer phones, they don't return calls, they don't reply to emails. It impossible to reach anyone unless you physically go in and put them on the spot. Even the administration sux. Seriously about to contact state.”
