Are you a fan of abandoned places in Kansas? We certainly have plenty, and one of the creepiest is Achenbach Memorial Hospital. This hospital in Hardtner opened in 1941 and closed in the 1970s. It was the site of plenty of creepy feelings and alleged sightings of strange, unexplained occurrences. What do you think about this evil place? Is it really one of the most haunted places in Kansas? You decide, but be careful: there could be ghosts here.

The story of paranormal activity at Achenbach Memorial Hospital is an extensive one.

The "bloody" foot and handprints stories aren't real, but they do definitely add to the overall vibe in the right mindset. On the third floor, a toilet flushes with no one in the room, and the elevator moves like it's being used, though there's been no electricity here for a very long time.

Cold spots litter the premises, and your skin crawls as you feel like you're being watched.

Of course, who might be watching but Charlie Achenbach, a shadow commonly spotted standing in several rooms on the third floor.

Other creepy areas that don't include actual sightings are the morgue in the basement, ironically, and several additional totally trashed areas of the building.

On the first floor, the men's room is always cooler than anywhere else in the building.

In addition to chills, you'll always feel a presence following your every move, like you're being watched.

It's...disconcerting, to say the least.

One thing is for sure: Achenbach Memorial Hospital is a creepy place, and one can't help but wonder just how many spirits may lurk here.
