The Stories Behind These 5 Haunted Hospitals In The U.S. Are Undeniably Creepy

A place that many consider to be America's scariest attraction, the asylum was built back in 1908 to serve as a facility for mentally and physically disabled patients. Rumors of harsh treatments of patients by staff and even possibly murder began swirling around the overpopulated asylum. Years later in 1968 NBC would release a segment showcasing the dehumanization of patients that was occurring behind closed doors, finally shedding light on a horrific situation. It wouldn't be until 1986 that the doors would forever close on this terrible place, leaving behind many spirits.
