Henry Ford Hospital – Clara Ford Pavilion

Description

The Clara Ford Pavilion, formerly a live-in nursing school, is quite haunted. Security and maintenance personnel have had doors locked behind them during the early morning hours. One of the first-floor boardrooms has a particularly obvious cold spot and a feeling of dread, as well as the smell of decay. In 1926, a nursing student, distraught over failing grades, took her own life by jumping from the roof onto the stone walk of the courtyard below. The doorway she used to gain access to the roof will reportedly not stay closed on the anniversary of the event. A nurse comes in every morning to the basement section and always has to close the 75-pound lead door to the x-ray room, even though she is positive it was closed the night before by the last doctor to leave.

Case Notes
Haunted Lineage note: The alleged 1926 nursing student suicide appears only in paranormal accounts and cannot be verified through historical records. The Clara Ford Pavilion was originally known as the Clara Ford Nurses Home and was designed by architect Albert Kahn and constructed between 1924 and 1925. It officially opened in January 1925 as both a nursing school and dormitory, offering 309 private rooms for students. Paranormal sources claim that, just a year later, a nursing student leapt from the roof into the stone courtyard below, though no independent documentation of this event has been found.
