Pennhurst State School And Hospital, Pennsylvania


Pennhurst State School and Hospital was built in 1908 as a state school for the physically and mentally disabled. It was enormous and housed more than 10,000 students at a time.
The facility quickly gained a bad reputation after several residents came forward with reports of neglect and abuse. The building was shut down in 1986, and everything in it was left behind, including medical equipment and patients' belongings.
Paranormal activity has been reported from the abandoned hospital, including voices, strange footsteps, and items being hurled across the room. Take a peek inside with the Ghost Finders investigative team to see for yourself.

Nocton Hall Hospital, England

Image
In 1940, the remains of an estate called Nocton Hall were converted into a hospital for the Royal Air Force. It was later expanded to become a general hospital and officially opened in 1947. It was in operation until 1995. Back when Nocton Hall was a home, it was said to be haunted by the ghost of a young servant girl who had been murdered by the owner's son after he got her pregnant. Her spirit would appear sobbing at the foot of beds, talking about a "devilish man who had done this to her." A "Grey Lady" has also been spotted roaming the halls.

St. Bartholomew's Hospital, England

St. Bartholomew's is the oldest hospital in London, dating back to 1123. It's still operational today. Inside, there is an elevator known as the "coffin lift," which sometimes takes passengers to the basement all on its own. Once down there, the lights go out, and the elevator won't move. The passenger is usually forced to pull open the gated doors and walk back upstairs, and, the entire time, there is the sensation that the elevator is following up each level. It's usually waiting on the main floor, doors open and lights on, when the passenger arrives. Rumor has it that the ghost of a nurse who was murdered by a deranged patient in the basement is having a little fun with her fellow nurses.

Sai Ying Pun Psychiatry Hospital—Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Image
Sai Ying Pun Psychiatry Hospital is one of Asia's scariest haunted hospitals—and rumor has it, it's also the inspiration for at least one or two horror films. This is a mental hospital that had been in action for over 100 years, and seemed to be the focal point of all of Hong Kong's anguish during its time in use.  Along with having all the typical grief that a mental hospital would have, Sai Ying Pun Psychiatry Hospital also had the misfortune of being taken over by Japanese soldiers during World War II. Much like Old Chiangi, the soldiers used it as a place to house prisoners of war.  According to local legend, Sai Ying Pun was used as an execution ground during the war. And, even though it went back into action, it never quite shed the vibe of grief, dread, and hatred that it gained during the war.  The ghosts that have been seen run the gamut from decapitated people walking through the hallways, to shadow people, to voices that plead for their liv...
