The Ridges
The site of many atrocities performed under the guise of mental health care, the Ridges in Athens, Ohio is connected to the story of a patient named Margaret Schilling. Margaret was somehow locked in an abandoned ward and died there. Her naked body was undiscoverd for several weeks, and today the floor of that ward still shows the human-shaped stain her body left behind. Does Margaret's spirit still haunt the hallways of The Ridges? Some ghost hunters believe so.
North Hampton
North Hampton State Hospital in Massachusetts was reportedly haunted by residual sounds from the past. The site has been almost completely demolished, but the curious might wonder if the new residents of the planned housing community will still hear slamming doors, squeaking gurneys and tearful moans from denizens of the past
Waverly Hills
Waverly Hills Sanitorium in Kentucky has been the subject of famous investigations including those conducted by TAPS. The team captured video of a mysterious shadow figure that seemed to pop up out of nowhere. That film is one of the most debated and analyzed incidents of a ghost caught on video.
Wernersville
Wernersville State Hospital in Pennsylvania is also said to be haunted. This asylum is connected to tales of a headless orderly and the ghost of an elderly patient who carries a baby with her around the grounds. Supposedly there is an unmarked graveyard somewhere on the grounds.
