Haunted Hospitals: The Travel Nurse's Go-to Guide

• Patients at Highland View Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio get the willies when window shades more of their own accord and doors lock shut without help.
• Far north of the Buckeye State, there is The Rolling Hills Asylum in Bethany, New York, which used to welcome ghost hunters, but closed its doors for good when sightings got too intense; the property is currently for sale!
• The Marshall House in Savannah, Georgia: — formerly a Civil War Hospital but now a hotel—is an ideal place for Georgia travelers to spend a spooky weekend!
• The Heather Hills Hospital in Chardon, Ohio has reported seeing the ghost of a young boy, in old-fashioned clothes, running loose through Area C late at night. Called the “knicker boy” by nurses because of his pants, this apparition always disappears when he’s followed into rooms.
• Poole Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio tops this list for obvious reasons. Patients and staff have seen eerie things turn up in the personal photos brought in with them.
• The Children’s Hospital Columbus, Ohio was allegedly built on top of an old cemetery and has certain corridors that the nurses won’t enter. In the park directly across the street, pediatric patients report seeing a ghostly figure dressed in pink.
• The Waverly Sanitarium in Louisville Kentucky has an official website that speaks for itself and is worth the day trip for R.N.s working in neighboring states. Read more about its “shadow people”, “orbs”, and apparitions.
• Athens Ridges in Athens, Ohio, formerly an asylum for the criminally insane, these grounds are still giving visitors the chills; in 1979 the body of a missing female patient was found in one of the rooms and the outline of her figure remains today.
