Central State Hospital

Its weird how many of these comments perfectly coincide with the many things me and my different friend groups have seen/experienced here, some other comments just seem like y'all were dizzy or lightheaded from mold, not paranormal, and to all those saying it's not paranormal, I've been here many many times, most times it's just a creepy place to be at night and very fun to mess around with friends, but the real bone chilling stuff that happened very rarely and occasionally compared to my many visits coincide perfectly with many of these comments detailing their experimeces, the little girl and hospital gown lady in the powerhosue/factory building are REAL, trust me please. 95% of the time nothing will be seen or happen, but that's not to say how VERY haunted this place is, and knowing the LONG, fucked up history, so many different fucked up things happened here if you research, read these comments and have known family members who knew about it or like my uncle who was wrongly admitted due to the police hating him (whole town really, he has my great grandpa's full name, he's a Jr and they have always ostracized him because of my family his last name and more largely my great grandpa's antics lol) but this place i VERY haunted and in the ordinary sense, very dangerous, not all but some tunnels are still accesibleand real, 3 floors of them, bottom is under stillwater the cemetery next to it also the people werent buried correctly, you can smell sulfur at night and in holes in the grass caving into tunnels (no clue Abt that, that's not the cemetery, maybe paranormal??), and there's unbased rumors I've heard that horses were buried unmarked in that cemetery too) take great heed coming here, not just the haunted part but many parts are collapsing or collapsed and there are old holes in the floors everywhere that's no lie either, I have no idea why that little girl spirit is at an asylum but my friends have experienced "her" too, seems very deceptive and likes to run and grab people's legs, I believe it's a demon knowing this places dark history and that I've heard demons like to portray themselves as small female chuldren, please be very, very, very careful here and do NOT come alone ever, I would never have the heart for that and you shouldn't either, not to mention how plain dumb that would be, in the paranormal OR ordinary safety sense) ive also met great people exploring the grounds here, it's a nice place to come with friends at night and meet other like-minded groups

I don't really believe in supernatural stuff but the entire time I was in there i felt like i was suffocating.

We went to the power house last night. It was really easy to enter (the door was wide open). It is like a labrynth of layers of rooms and floors. It was very eerie, but we didnt see anything haunted. I recorded the whole thing, and i will have to review the footage. I believe this is the only building abandoned and available to enter.

I went twice in october of 2014 and both times didn't experience anything paranormal. Didn't think it was haunted, just abandoned. When the sun goes down it does get creepy.

I worked at CSH back in the 80's. Beneath the hospital grounds were tunnels connecting the buildings. On several occasions we would investigate noises in the tunnels but never located the source or persons. An area near the pathology bldg. (in the tunnel) were rooms closed off with welded bars. You could see chains mounted to the rock walls were "residents" had been chained in the early years. Within the pathology bldg., was a laboratory with human disected brains in jars, rusted surgical tools and saws. Some residents were allowed to walk the grounds a few hours a day and some were confined. Yes, their was some very dangerous individuals there and many with bizarre behavior. You never knew what you were going to see from one shift to the next. Often times you would have to disburse patients engaged in sexual activities throughout the grounds, subdue combative patients and suicidal patients. I've seen patients smearing feces on themselves, walls or trowing feces on other residents or staff. Many were committed there and forgotten. Many died without much investigation into their death. Some of the residents were calm and easy to deal with and some were criminally insane and dangerous even with medication. The insane and or dangerous were housed in the Bahr bldg. The residents of the Evans bldg were medium risk. I hope this gives you a little more information on CSH. These grounds hold a lot of history and education.

A long time ago, i explored here w some friends. we found an open window and i went in and let my friends in. we saw trash everywhere, and there was a lot of stuff torn and broken. we were having fun exploring until we heard someone running from far away but coming closer. we all ran and literally jumped out the window we came through. it was scary because among the things we saw shotgun shells and we heard people running towards us like animals though it was weird. and one of my friends saw a girl. never going again.
