i used to work in the office upstairs and got feelings that i didnt want 2 b alone . that place was creepy but i thought it was the elderly that lived there . outside the woods made strange sounds but we thought it was the people next door . i lost my dog for an hour in those woods
i am looking for someone that can give me more details about this place and maybe help me get in to do a investigation. Please let me know. thanks
My dad lived there as a patient for 7 years. I spent a lot of time there. I never, ever, once saw or heard anything even remotely spooky. I never heard the staff or other patients complain, either.
