But some residents believe this isn’t the only activity taking place at the old hospital.

Tales of unexplained lights, sounds, voices and screams have been tied to the hospital since it was left abandoned long ago. There are some who believe the hospital has not lived such a lonely existence on the hill and something has made its home in the dark, moldy halls and glass covered floors of the building. Many believe the old hospital to be visited.
