The Story
The grounds of the former Lake View Sanatorium carry stories of apparitions, murmuring voices and sudden pockets of warmth or cold. HauntedPlaces.org also records visitors feeling their hair tugged on the wooded trails and seeing unusual light or figures around the building. The cemetery and woods are part of the same site tradition.
