Description

The Goss Building is believed to be haunted. Staff have reported seeing a man in white walking the third-floor halls. There is a corner room at the front of that floor that leaves nearly everyone feeling uneasy.

Please do not trespass. Always obtain permission before entering abandoned or private property. If you’re considering a visit, read the guidelines carefully beforehand.

πŸ“ Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note: The original Kirkbride style building was known as the Goss Building and was the main section of the hospital until it was abandoned in 1975. In 1999, the large dome above the administration building collapsed, marking the beginning of the structure’s final decline. On March 19, 2006, a massive fire broke out in the central portion, gutting the administration and theater. Demolition of the remaining wings began in May 2009, with architectural features salvaged and sold across the country. The project was completed by early 2010.
