#haunted hospitals

Sunland Hospital
Orlando, Florida

Sunland Hospital in Orlando was initially built to serve as a tuberculosis hospital, but it was later re-purposed as the Sunland Training Center for Retarded Children.

Over the years that it was in operation, there were numerous allegations of abuse, neglect and health code violations.

The hospital was torn down in 1999 and only the old administration block remains. The property is now a park, but it seems as though many of the former patients are still lingering here.

There are often reports of disembodied children’s laughter, strange light anomalies and the swings and other playground apparatus moving by itself as though the children who died in the hospital are still here playing.

New Hampshire State Hospital
Concord, New Hampshire

New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord was originally known as the decidedly more creepy name ‘New Hampshire Asylum for the Insane’ when it first opened and it has a very similar history to some of the other asylums in New England, such as Danvers State Hospital in Massachusetts.

In short, the conditions hear were brutal and patients were neglected, abused, tortured and even experimented on.

Like so many asylums of the time, New Hampshire State Hospital was closed down amidst allegations about the lack of care given to patients. However, not before this pain and suffering left a permanent scar on the building!

Although the hospital now lies abandoned it is certainly not empty…

Those who have come to visit report hearing phantom footsteps and disembodied screams.

They have encountered cold spots and seen objects pushed off of tables or shelves by unseen hands.

The elevators have also started working all on their own and anyone who visits says that they feel a constant feeling that someone is watching them very closely.

It is not at all surprising that this old asylum is one of the most haunted places in New Hampshire.
