A decidedly unscientific search of the Internet turns up many hospitals, both long-abandoned and currently operational, rumored to be the playground of ghouls and goblins, according to a Throwback Thursday article on the Hospitals and Health Networks website.
• In St. Augustine, Fla., a Spanish Military Hospital, dating back to the 1700s, is said to be imbued with a sad, heavy presence upon entering. Some people claim to see long-dead patients hovering in hospital gowns.
• At the “Sunnybrook Asylum” in Ingleside, Ill., legend says the nurses there became insane, burning down the hospital, patients and all.
• In Peoria, Ill., some say certain nuns have been attending to patients a little longer than is natural at St. Francis Medical Center Two nuns often appear to comfort the sick before mysteriously disappearing.
