In the late 90s, a mysterious and macabre rumor about the revolutionary game called Pokemon spread like wildfire: Lavender Town Syndrome. 

During the first few days of the release of Pokemon Red and Green in Japan, back in February 27, 1996, a peak of mysterious deaths and illnesses appeared in children between the ages of 10-15.  In this Basement Tapes mini, Gracey takes us on a nostalgic trip to Lavender Town and provides some theories and truths to the dark lore surrounding the game. 

 

Some extras for you:

Lavender Town Music (Original Japanese Version from Pokemon Red and Green)

As the buildings of the Traverse City State Hospital began to decay and fall into ruin, stories about ghosts started to settle within the cracks. But there's even more darkness that lurks within the asylum's walls.

In this week's episode, Stephanie takes us on a stroll through the bones of the old hospital-- the histories and philosophies in which it was built, the mad-man of a doctor who worked there, and the hauntings.
