This Abandoned Texas Hospital Was Recently Named The Most Haunted Place On Earth

If you’re in the mood to see a ghost, visiting the most haunted place in Texas is a surefire way to do just that. The abandoned Yorktown Memorial Hospital was actually named the most haunted place on earth by The Sun, a UK-based publisher. Complete with long, narrow corridors, sickly green walls, and nearly 2,000 deaths under its belt, the hospital is a hub for paranormal activity. It’s open for public tours and even overnight investigations — if, of course, you’re brave enough to visit…

About 80 miles southeast of San Antonio, Yorktown has a population that barely exceeds a couple thousand. There's a good reason people stay far, far away from this town: it's home to the most haunted place on earth.

Yorktown Memorial Hospital was built in 1951 and run by the Felician Sisters of the Roman Catholic Church. It operated as a hospital until 1986, after which point it became a drug rehabilitation center.

The facility was decommissioned entirely in 1992, and has been left to decay ever since.

As seen on the Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures," the hospital offers both daytime tours and overnight investigations to the public... if you're brave enough to see what lurks inside, that is.

From the overgrown landscaping to the eerie chapel, every inch of the hospital is brimming with spookiness. Perhaps a pair of ghostly hands will play a few chords on the grand piano...

Little has been removed from the building - it's as if everyone just up and left. You'll see fully decorated patients' rooms (complete with the actual beds they slept in), squeaky old rocking chairs, and many more spine-tingling sights.

The sickly green color of the kitchen walls certainly isn't doing it any favors. In fact, it makes the vibe so much creepier!

Nearly 2,000 people died here, and it seems as though their spirits still linger within the walls. Visitors have reported everything from disembodied voices to the sound of wheelchairs creaking down the long and narrow corridors.

Address: 728 W Main St, Yorktown, TX, 78164.
