HISTORY

The Jerome Grand hotel was built as “United Verde hospital” in 1926. It was built by “united Verde copper company” which was a mining company when they started their business in the area and felt the need for a hospital which although would be the 4th hospital in the state but with the best of facilities. Many modern equipment were available at the hospital and it was considered one of the most modern hospitals not only in the state but all over the Country. The Otis elevator in the building was first of its kind and it still functions to this day.

The hospital operated till 1950 when residents had already moved to different cities due to non availability of work and hazardous living conditions. After 1950 the hospital would lay abandoned for 44 years and the equipment, furniture and everything else inside stayed in the hospital like something frozen in time.

RENOVATIONS AND REOPENING

The hospital was acquired in 1994 by Larry Altherr from Phelps Dodge Mining Corporation who started the renovations and the Jerome Grand hotel opened for business in 1996.

Even though the hospital was one of the most modern hospitals of that era, many people died when the hospital was in Operation. The figure is assumed to be close to 9000. The hospital was cursed with many unfortunate accidents the first of which was the mining disaster that blew a part of the hospital when it was first opened. Seeing that so many people had died in the hospital one can guess that it is difficult to name all of the diseased people but one of the few suspicious deaths that happened and is still talked about is that of the maintenance man Claude Harvey. He was pinned down by the elevator and everybody thought of it as an accident but it was later revealed during an autopsy that he had already died before being crushed by the elevator. Another death was that of a caretaker hired during the 1970s to protect the building from vandals. He committed suicide and was found hanging inside the hotel.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES

When the hotel had just opened and only a few rooms were available, guests staying there would report off all kinds of mysterious activity and they still do to this day. So many spirits are said to haunt the hotel that it is believed that sometimes more ghosts roam the hotel than there are humans present at the hotel.

Ghost children

Guests would hear strange sounds and voices coming from closed rooms. Guests also reported smells coming from rooms, such as flowers, dust, cigar smoke, and whiskey. The most common apparition is of a child who is seen running up and down the hallways of the third floor which is said to be the most active floor. Guests would also hear children playing, giggling and even seeing the ghostly apparition of a child at the foot of their beds during nights just looking at them before disappearing in thin air. A lot of guests would hear a baby crying and would report it to the front desk only to find that the sound was coming from an empty room.

Poltergeist activity

Poltergeist activity like the television and bedside lamps being unplugged and things sent flying in the room. Things missing only to be found later under the beds are some of the most common things that guests experience on a daily basis in their hotel rooms.

The maintenance man

The spirit of Claude Harvey, the maintenance man who died in the hotel is seen many times in the laundry or the boiler room doing his chores as though still at work. People believe that he doesn’t realise that he is dead.

Ghost Pet

Another famous apparition is that of a ghostly cat. The cat has been heard meowing, hissing and scratching at doors and walls. Both staff and guests have heard and felt the cat brushing against their legs and snuggling against them while on the bed. People could see the imprint of a cat on their bed. A guest even provided a photo evidence of the ghost cat spirit sitting on the table. This is only a small amount of paranormal activity that occurs at the hotel.

PRESENT DAY

The hotel has such an abundance of paranormal activity that many paranormal explorers visit the hotel and they easily get in touch with the paranormal. The hotel does not provide any guided tours but those who want to experience any sort of paranormal activity have to book a room like other guests and only then they can get access to the hallways of the hotel and that is without bothering any other guests. The lobby and the hotel restaurant called “Asylum” are open to the public.

Randolph County infirmary- Winchester, Indiana

Randolph County infirmary was formerly known as county asylum.

The place where the infirmary is built belonged to a farmer and his wife during the 1800s. They used to house people who did not want to live alone in exchange for some money from the state. Later when the property was acquired by the state, the first infirmary was built in 1851. Unfortunately after only two years from its construction, there was a fire destroying the building and many people lost their lives.

In 1855, another building was built in place of the first one to accommodate the poor and sick. The building operated for the next forty years before being closed down again due to the living conditions being deemed unfit.

Finally in 1899 another building was built which stands till this date. The infirmary provided food and shelter to the poor and needy of the region sponsored by the county. Orphans, physically or mentally disabled people, old men and women who couldn’t provide for themselves were some of the residents of the infirmary. These types of infirmaries were set up in each state and county for the similar purpose. Even during the great depression in the 1930s these infirmaries still provided food and shelter to the people when the federal government had to sponsor these asylums. It was also used to keep tuberculosis patients when the illness spread throughout the USA and there was a need for space to accommodate the patients.

The Randolph County infirmary closed down in 2009. During the time of its closing down only 5 residents remained at the infirmary.

During the time of its operation there were many reported and unreported deaths at the infirmary. The exact number is not known but the reported deaths are close to 200. Reported deaths include suicide by hanging, tuberculosis deaths, old age deaths and a patient died after being pushed from the second floor window.

With so many reports of death and suicides one might easily guess that many of those who died with some unfinished business may not want to leave the place. In fact the infirmary is said to be one of the most active places in terms of paranormal. The most common activities include the doors slamming on their own, sounds of children giggling and running up and down the stairs, female whispering and sounds of women screaming. People have even witnessed shadow figures multiple times in the attic as well as the basement. So far there has not been any violent paranormal activity except for one person being scratched on the neck.

The building now hosts paranormal tours and events. The infirmary is mostly booked with visitors leaving pleased with their paranormal experiences.

On Google reviews people have described the place as one of the most haunted places in the world having experienced plenty of paranormal activities and most of them have explored the place multiple times. Those who want to explore the place or even stay overnight can do so by booking the place.

Haunted Buckholm tower, Scotland

September 9, 2022September 9, 2022Posted in paranormalTagged #abandoned, #creepy, #creepypasta, #cryptids, #folklore, ancient Ram's inn, aokigahara, australia, Buckholm castle, cabin, creepykids, Crybaby bridge, haunted Scotland, leap Castle3 Comments

Buckholm is a farm near the Scottish borders in Galashiels, Scotland. On the farm lay the ruins of the Buckholm tower. Built in 1582 by the Pringle family.

During the 18th century, James pringle was the owner of the estate. He was widely known as an evil and ruthless man. He mistreated his wife and son and would often beat them up. His family would always live in fear and one night when he went into the drunken state they ran away from home. From then on James pringle became even more angrier and started taking out his rage on the women of the village.

The Government during that time were persecuting the covenanters and he being such an evil man was appointed by the government to inflict pain on the covenanters. The local dragoons (appointed by the crown) were notified of illegal covenanters gathering taking place and they asked for help from James pringle. When they reached the location, the assembly had already fled and only an old man and his son were present on the spot. Both of them were taken prisoners to extract information about the others.

During the night, the old man fell ill and his son was shouting for help. James went into the cell and started beating them up. After some minutes of screaming there was complete silence and James came out of the cell and sat down to drink again. Soon there was a loud knocking on the door. The old man’s wife was found upon opening the door and she demanded to know about his husband and son. In a fit of rage James pringle took the old woman to the cell where her husband and son were kept. The woman screamed when she saw the condition of her husband and son. They were hanging from the hook of the ceiling and blood was dripping from their lifeless bodies. The old woman in pain and agony cursed Pringle and said that the hounds of hell would forever pursue him and even after his death. James pringle became scared.

It is said that he died after sometime and in his last days, the servants and guards would hear him scream. He believed that those hounds of hell were following him day and night and he died a horrifying death that many people believed was the work of hounds of hell. He would sometimes come out of his room running to servants pleading his servants to save him from the devil’s pets.

Every year on the day he died people can still see his apparition running away scared knocking all the doors begging to be let in followed by the barking sounds of hounds only to be dragged away to a place that many believe to be hell. This activity continues on a yearly basis and it is believed that the curse is still in effect.

Reverend Henry Davidson is said to have reportedly exorcised the ghost and banished the hounds to where they came from but he failed as people still claim to witness the terrified apparition on the date of his death anniversary.

Parents of Reddit describe the creepiest thing their kid has ever come out with that has given them the heebies?

Let me start this off by saying I don’t have kids. My coworker at an old job invited me over for dinner one night. I went over, they had a little girl who was like 4 or 5 at the time. So we have dinner, she goes to bed, we’re all sitting around talking about business, having a few cocktails, whatever. It’s like 11 oclock, and the little girl comes down the stairs, half awake and says “mommy the no-no man is here.” And she’s just staring right through her dad. Like you can tell, it’s not directly at him, it’s through him. And all of a sudden we hear this bang, and the window right behind him, had slammed shut. It wasn’t a traditional window, it was one of those ones that you crank the arm to prop it open. Left the whiskey, got in the car and hauled ass the fuck outta there.
Few months later, another coworker was arrested for aggravated assault and stalking in relation to the family. But I know for a fact we looked at the window, like we looked outside, no one was there. Got super spooked out by that one.

It wasnt something he came out with. But about a year ago, my then 2.5 year old son and i were playing. Sitting on the bed, laughing, him facing me. All of a sudden he looked behind me and his smile fades to a look of horror, like he was about to cry but couldnt move or make a sound. I whipped around ready to fight and there was nothing there. I looked back at him and asked him what he was looking at, and he just ignored me and started playing again

When my youngest daughter was 4 we were watching TV and something about aliens came on and there was a drawing of a Grey. She looked at the screen and announced “He looks like the man who sees me in the night”.

r/TMZombies Not a parent, but I was babysitting this kid across the street about a year ago. It was about 10 pm. The kid was in bed and was watching some TV show when saw something out of the corner of my eye. I looked and it was the kid just kinda staring at me. I asked if he was ok and all he said was –

“The shadow man won’t leave us alone.” Needless to say damn near shat bricks

Stayed with a family member for a few months while we were moving houses. My daughter was a little under two, and would always look at this one spot on the stairs that you could see from the living room (the stairs would go one direction, had a landing and go in another direction at a 90 degree angle). She would watch it and smile, or point at it. Anywhere picked her up, she would be fixated on this one spot. My family member mentioned one day it was the favorite napping place of her beloved cat that died happily and peacefully of old age.
