Northern State Hospital

The Story

Among the former hospital’s reported apparitions is a nurse pushing a man in a wheelchair. Community posts also describe a child near the farm machinery, whistling and unexplained knocking. The ghost reputation extends across the former institution and farm; these are visitor interpretations, not proof of the identities involved.
