My parents were patients at Glenn
Dale Hospital in the late 1940's. They have some great stories about living there and about them all being somewhat labrats at the time, due to no real knowledge of TB. Infact, my parents met at Glenn Dale while patients, and my Godparents, she my mothers roommate and he my daddys' roommate also met there and then married when they were released. At the time, it wasn't the scary looking place as all the pic's nowadays show. Daddy does remember seeing as many as 5 or 6 "deadwagons" as he calls them lined up around back in the mornings sometimes. Thank God scientists and Doctors have worked so hard since then to learn more and treat disease as they do nowadays!! TB treatment was unbelieveable at that time . Somethings you wouldn't believe.

You are right John, I own a paranormal group and I know a thing or to about a haunting.

Dave, most "ghosts" are in our heads. I've found that when you are in a creepy place, your senses are dialed in to every sound, movement, smell etc. I'm not saying that it's NOT haunted. If you go there in the dead of night by yourself without a flashlight, it might as well be.

My grandmother cheated death there in the mid forties. She got T.B and was there for years. My dad and his father were not allowed near her. My grandmother would wave to them from the solarium on the roof; that was as close as they were allowed to get. My grandmother was released and lived to be eighty seven.

I've lived just a few miles from this place for almost my entire life, but I've never gone inside. It makes me sad that this architecturely beautiful place has gone to waste. I know the asbestos and lead paint would cost way too much money to take care of and that's why, but it's still sad. I don't think I'd ever want to tour this place. It gives me the creeps just driving by. I was 8 or 10 years old and my mom was looking for daffodils for a flower arrangement and saw some up by one of the buildings and made me get out and pick them for her. I have never been more scared in my life. That place just has an eerie sense about it.
