sixpenceee:Essex County Hospital Center This 1800s former hospital, also called Overbrook, was turned into a psychiatric hospital in the 1920s. It was said to have been haunted by phantom nurses and patients. Also, the sound of rolling gurneys could be seen, and a demonic presence was felt by witnesses. According to reports, in 1917 many patients froze to death in their beds when a boiler failed. In fact, some reports say over 10,000 patients died here altogether before the hospital closed in 1975. Many ghost-hunting TV shows have featured the site in 2008 and 2009; some did not name the exact location. The building is said to have been demolished in 2009. (Source) -- source link
