The hospital was closed completely in the 90s. This was the building for the criminally insane. The hospital was closed due to the decline in patients and the increase in better treatments in more conventional settings. The remaining patients were transferred to other facilities in the state.
I have been a resident of this state all my life, 36 years, I know people that worked there and therefore can state this is true. Dan (1) "facts" made me gringe.
I also know several people that have been in there and had more than their fair share of paranormal experiences.
I myself have never ventured in due to I do not believe in tresspassing.
The site is now under consideration to be purchased by one of three offers. The EPA is going building to building deciding which to renovate and which to demolish, several have already been taken down and 2 of the larger ones are to be gone by the end of the year. As of now, the only one I know of that will remain, so far, is the administration buildings.
It is sad the state let these building go to waste..they turned off the heat, but never the water, so year after year, the pipes froze and thawed and caused over 6 million gallons of water to flow and destroy the property.
If i had the means i myself would buy several of teh building for perservation.
