Darkness Has A Home At St. Albans Sanatorium.
There’s never any guarantee that you’re going to “find” anything on a ghost hunt. Investigators often scoff at televised ghost shows and their enormous amount of evidence conveniently found just in time for the cameras. If you ever decide to enter haunted St. Albans Sanatorium seeking to find the proof you are looking for, it may just be your lucky day.
Originally constructed as a boys school during a time when hazing was just part of life and academics, St. Albans Sanatorium saw its first years brimming with adolescent energy and poor choices.
After falling on hard times and better education options in nearby cities, the school closed its doors. The building was restructured into a Sanatorium in 1916. At its time, the medicine and procedures practiced there were thought to be very advanced for their time. In the perspective prism of history, they looked more like cruel and inhumane ways of treating the mentally ill.
The Horror At Haunted St. Albans Sanatorium (Part 2 for Grave Keepers Only – Listen Here)
Various therapy treatments were employed and thought to correct the behaviors of the mentally ill at Haunted St. Albans. Many of these treatments were on the verge of being proven ineffective. They included isolation rooms, cages, procedures involving water and more. Once the version of medicine they practiced was deemed ineffective, many of the doctors allegedly took matters into their own hands, practicing without oversight or records on their own in the lower floor and sub-basement of the facility. Allegedly, human experiments were fair game at what would later be known as the haunted St. Albans Sanatorium. Because of this, suicide was common at this treatment facility. Today, the deceased patients seem to still be confused and still roam the halls of St. Albans Sanatorium searching for a way to get better or make the lives of those who visit, hell.
