Abandoned Rundown Mental Hospital

This story I cant say its really on the paranormal side just more the creepy and weird.

When I was about 19 me and a friend decided to check out a rundown mental hospital for the criminally insane. And just to quickly explain how we got in there without any trouble my friends father bought the land and was planning to demolish it so we took it as the last chance to see it as it was left over 30 years ago.

We got inside as it was just hitting dusk so we still did not need our torches yet and we could still make out our surroundings. At first we saw nothing out of the ordinary just tables, cabinets, hospital beds… etc. even medicine cabinets which from what we could tell had been raided.

After about an hour we needed our flashlights so we headed to the second floor. Making our way to the end of the corridor we …

Working Night Shift in a Care Home

They’re Never Really Gone

I work night shifts in a care home. I start at 8 pm and finish at 8 am, and a lot of unusual things have been seen there whilst working the night shift. Here are just a few.

Only the other night my friend had said she would make us a cup of tea to have on our break. I was in the staff room. As I came out of the staff room I was walking down the corridor to the kitchen area and I saw someone walk into the kitchen. I thought nothing of it as I thought it was just my friend who had gone in there to make the tea. I got there about 3 seconds later only to find nobody there. The kitchen is a dead end by the way so there is nowhere else for anybody to disappear to.

I’ve seen similar things on a few occasions. I see people going …

Haunted Former Mental Hospital

Hey ya’ll my name is Miley Paxus and I just turned 15 years old.

I’ve been living in this old haunted house near the old mill in my town and it’s kinda creepy. Before we moved into this house, it was used as a mental hospital for special needs patients. I was only a child, about five or six when we moved in because all the other houses in the town were too scrawny, weird and ripped apart.

I was 12 when I actually figured out the type of house we lived in. I was so mad at my parents because I’ve seen shows about people moving into hospitals and places where people have died! Anyways, I went on the computer an typed in “Tennessee Mental Hospital 63943.” It came up with a list of survived patients and dead patients. The survived patients were seven percent and the dead patients were 93 percent – just my luck.

Haunted V.A. Hospital in Bay Pines Florida

Hello, I am updating my story about the haunted V.A. hospital in Bay Pines.

A couple of months ago I was working in the same building and same floor. My co-worker, who’s name is Gary, and I were cleaning up for the day. I was at one end of a hallway and Gary was at the other. There were six to eight rooms between he and I.

We always joke around and yell at each other. So I look up to say something funny to him and I see a leg from the knee to the foot walking in the room about four doors down. I saw it for only a split second, which I thought was strange because I didn’t see anyone coming down the hallway. And I thought to myself, that would be weird if I look in the room and nobody was there. So I go look and of course see nothing.

Haunted Hospitals

Have you ever heard of a hospital that was supposed to be haunted? When you think about it there have been quite a lot of deaths that have occured in hospitals. This is especially true for the really old ones. Not too many years ago the condition of health care was no where near what it is today.

One very famous haunted hospital is located in Kentucky. It is the Waverly Hills Sanitarium which was used for tuberculosis patients. There were more than 6,000 deaths here, no wonder there are ghosts!

We have two articles about the Waverly Hills Sanitarium:

There is also a Veterans hospital in Virginia that is reported to be haunted.

Haunted VA hospital

Hello, I’m a construction worker out of Tampa Florida. I do a lot of maintenance work in the hospitals around the state.

I was at the Bay Pines V.A Hospital near St.Petersburg. There are many buildings on the complex, its just my luck I was in the oldest building. I was told that it was built in the late teens and early 20′s.

I was on the 2nd floor with a co-worker and we were the only ones on the floor at the time. We were at the end of a long hallway working in a mechanical room after hours. For some reason I looked down to the end of the hallway. I saw a man staring at me who had on a grey jumpsuit kind of like a mechanic suit and he was kind of pail and faceless.

So I turned to my co-worker and said I thought we were the only ones up here. He turned and looked …

Haunted Tuberculosis Hospital and Psychiatric Center

Submitted to us by Brian

One night me and my buddy were driving up Peck Hill Road in Perrysburg, NY. He told me about a haunted place that used to be a psych ward and TB hospital. It hasn’t been occupied in years and many people died there. including several nurses who committed suicide. We know this because his grand mother used to work there about 35 years ago.

Anyway, we stopped just to check the place out. We shut the car off and just looked at it. We just got this really weird vibe just being next to this gigantic spooky looking structure.

Then we heard screaming on the inside. Then we could see figures slowly moving into windows and out the door into the court yard.

Anyone from western NY needs to visit that place because its amazing.

I did a little checking online and found out that Brian is writing about the JN Adam Tuberculosis Sanatorium which …

Waverly Hills Sanitarium The Haunted Hospital

One of the most well known haunted “hot” spots is the Waverly Hills Sanitarium in Louisville, Kentucky. Back in the early 1900′s the Louisville area was experiencing the highest rate of tuberculosis infections in the country.

Most patients who went to the Waverly Hills Sanitarium were doomed to stay there until their death. The bodies of the dead were transported through tunnels to the bottom of the hill from where they were taken away and burned.

After the discovery of the tuberculosis vaccine the Waverly Hills Sanitarium was closed down. It was converted into a convalescence home in 1962 but was closed due to alleged abuse of patients in 1982.

There have been many reports or paranormal activity at the old hospital including multiple sightings of an elderly lady running from the hospital bleeding and begging for help. Spooky indeed!
