The Story
At the former Overbrook campus, HauntedPlaces.org records stories of nurses and patients seen after the wards fell quiet, with the sound of gurneys rolling through the buildings. Some visitors described an oppressive presence. These are recollections associated with the former institution, rather than a claim that the old wards remain available to explore.
