Old Hospital Rumored to be Haunted

I have heard that the old place is haunted. I am someone who is very interested in investigating the old hospital. I do not want to ruin it, just would like to investigate to see and to really tell people that are the least bit curious that this place is or is not haunted.

I've been to the hospital several times. People have trashed that place. The guy that lived there last had some pretty creepy drawings on the wall and there is supposed to be an underground tunnel..haven't found it yet. The guy has some very interesting statistics of the people in the states.

i actually just went into the old place.

my uncle and aunt live right down the road and we decided to goand investigate. you're right, people have trashed it. some people have been playing paintball in it also. Couldn't find anything scary( there were six of us though, two being little loud boys) but i would have liked to. most interesting thing so far is on the second floor there are the names of the people who used to live in the rooms above their doors..definitely wont be the last time i go in, im going to find something i hope!

My girlfriend and I went today, and we kept hearing doors shut and breathing, and things moving in other rooms. When i first walked in it gives you that eery feeling, then you see the nice view of paintball splats beer bottles and other trash people have left behind. We were walked down the top floor hallway and we heard a door shut so we turned around and then we heard something in the room right next to were we were and thinking it was an animal (cat, bird, mouse, etc.) we looked and there wasnt anything in there. The beds are all strung out all over the place. I really wanted an old pill bottle to take home, but the ones we saw were smashed. We did not go downstairs or on the middle floor. When we left we couldn't find the door out, when we walked by it many times. Very fun experience and definantly am going back!

I was just at the hospital tonight. I am a Psyc, and witnessed my own account. When I and my other two friends approached the entrance, we heard alot of dogs barking, and strange tapping noises. Upon entering, there is a room on your left, which still has the mattress and strap restraints. Upon being in the hallway, I got a strong sense of unrested spirits, and promptly exited the building. Friends going before me, have witnessed elevators moving up and down (though there is no electricity) and real blood on the walls, they even have pictures of the blood, and one of them took the sleeve of his shirt, and wiped it on the blood for a stain (Which I seen, and its a blood stain). Think what you will of the place, but my opinion is that it is haunted. I encourage others to ask permission before entering, and to find out of their own.

I was told....there were some kids (not sure of age) who had went there (trespassing) and one of the kids (girl) was killed on the way home from there. Does anyone know that story?

I'm trying to find "history" but no luck on finding an address to find the legal history of the building.

Any help appreciated!

i know we have a lot of restless spirits roaming a lot of places. I enjoy and believe a lot of the stories I hear. My own experience with spirits has been very comforting.

I've been very near the building but never got too far inside. My buddy and I were in Alva for a band practice and decided to head on up and check the place out. As soon as we approached the building, it started pouring rain and we retreated to the car for a little shelter until it passed. We ended up talking to the keeper of the graves at the local cemetery who invited us back to his place and gave us a complete history of the hospital and the Achenbach family that brought the building into existence. The local residents prefer to avoid talking about the supposed haunting, though most just don't have any stock in ghost stories anymore. Really nice people, the building is owned by a man from out of state who bought it at auction, but the town is small and it would be very easy for anyone in the adjoining neighborhood to see you enter. We walked the perimeter and heard numerous crashes and slams, likely from the wind blowing through many of the broken windows. We also were short a flashlight, making entry nearly impossible in the overcast late afternoon. I'm planning on going back at some point, if anyone has any idea about getting permission or contact information for such purposes, please let me know.

I do know the story Paranormal Investigator is talking about. The man I spoke to (please don't bother him, he's a very nice but private guy who undoubtedly wouldn't want people interrupting him all the time on my account) told us the story but with about as much detail. Some kids broke in and messed around, then died a few miles outside of town when their car went off the road. (They were headed north into Kansas on the main road out of town) I don't think there was another vehicle involved, however I'm sure it would be in the local records or in the archived papers at the public library. The story is definitely true.

To: Paranormal investigator... They were kids that i was going to school with. I have been there 3 times now and every time on the way home something weird always happens... i would be safe on the way home no matter how far it is...
