The old Van Wert County Hospital

Ohio · United States · Hospital

Voices, lights coming on by themselves, doors slamming after being propped open. People have found the building's death records.

This building at Van Wert, Ohio was the county hospital, and the reports from it are the usual institutional set: voices, lights turning on without anyone, doors that slam after being left open, and objects moving.

What makes it worth recording is that several people have gone and found the records. Deaths in this building are documented, in the county's own paperwork, and anyone can look them up.

That is unusual. Almost every entry in this archive rests on a story about a death that nobody has ever checked. This one has a paper trail, which turns vague atmosphere into something with names and dates behind it.

A psychic has also visited and given an account, and that is of a different order and is treated as such here.

A county hospital is where most people in a rural county were born and where most of them died, for the better part of a century.

The building is in other use now.
