So our local county has had some activity....i grew up hearing stories of hauntings but never heard the history of it.....the home was built in the mid-20s where it was a local poor farm....it was later turned into a sanitorium....there are 3 bulidings on the property along with a small cemetary that has a grave of a civil war soldier....if you are facing the home from the road you will see the large 2 story building with a smaller one with a porch to the left and a small shed to right....this is not the exact layout as there are a few other shacks.....but those are the main 3 buildings.....anywho the building to the right has about 3 jail cells on one side and a few more on another....these cells used to house the criminally insane....now for the main building history.....sanitoriums have always gave me creepy feelings and this one is no different....this was my first real crazy house i had been but i always felt like i was being watched and someone was walking behind me.....in about the first 30 - 50 years (i'm not sure of the exact date) (i got all my information from a nurse who used to work there) nothing majored happened and then there was the first suicide in one of the 2nd floor rooms....he had hung he self from the ceiling......then a few years before it closed down which it did in about 2003...so this suicide happened in the late to mid 90s a man jumped out of the window.... i have not had a chance to investigate this because county records are held in the basement of the home....but i say that if you get permission which i would contact the local comissioners......you would probably be able to investigate.....if anyone has any questions feel free to e-mail me i will try and get pictures of it up as soon as i can.....
