Spooksville

Connecticut · USA · Hospital

At this site in Portland, Connecticut the building no longer stands, but its footprint is still legible in the ground and you can walk the layout of the rooms.

It is described locally as an old asylum, and screaming is reported.

A correction was filed in December, and it changes what the site actually was. The correction is what this entry keeps.

There is also an old works on the land where explosives were manufactured and tested. That part is not folklore, and it is the more dangerous of the two.

Old ordnance and explosives sites leave contamination and sometimes leave live material, which is why land of this kind is generally posted and why local authorities take trespass on it seriously.

The combination of a demolished institution and an explosives works on the same ground is unusual, and it explains why the name attached itself to the whole area rather than to one building.

The site is posted.
