• Filming took only 12 days and took place on the grounds of an abandoned psychiatric hospital in Canada.
• The filmmakers tried to make the film different from other famous projects in the 'found footage' genre (like the 'Blair Witch' franchise) by not 'tiptoeing around the demons.' They wanted the supernatural creatures to 'run straight at the viewer and be clearly visible,' rather than simply being invisible entities that move objects or slam doors.
• The film's format and main character borrow heavily from the 'Ghost Adventures' (2008) series.
• The abandoned Riverview Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, built in the early 20th century and closed in 2012, served as the setting for the fictional psychiatric hospital. Zack Snyder also filmed his 2009 science fiction action film 'Watchmen' here, and some episodes of the 'The X-Files' (1993-2018) were also filmed here.
