Description

The hospital has spirits such as nurses, doctors, and patients that still roam its halls. Many have gone into this establishment and have had their own personal experiences, such as being watched, seeing shadows, and smelling sterilization solutions in certain spots. The spirits are restless and have been agitated from all of the visitors they’ve been receiving. It was built upon a site of about 3,000 graves of Civil War and yellow fever victims from when it was a cemetery in the 1800s. It is now patrolled fairly heavily by the local fire department, which is right next door. Explorers/ghost hunters suggest that it not be visited unless you are with a fairly large group that can respect their domain.

!!Warning!! As with any abandoned building, it may be structurally unsound, or you can find yourself being robbedβ€”as these kids wereβ€”or much worse: abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/80103_local_teenscare.html

– April 2005 Update: The building is currently getting renovated.

πŸ“ Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note:Β Jefferson Davis Hospital, constructed in 1924 atop a former municipal cemetery containing the remains of Confederate soldiers, former slaves, and epidemic victims, operated as a charity hospital until 1938. The building was later renovated into the Elder Street Artist Lofts, but its dark history and undisturbed graves beneath its foundation have cemented its reputation as one of Houston’s most prominent haunted locations.
