Stayed there left today . Did experience the smell of cigarettes, n like door knob being turned but nothing too crazy .

My mother was there in the early 70's . I can remember it like it was yesterday. So dark and depressing. So many pitiful people there . 😢

They stuck my grandfather in this hospital because they said he was “woman crazy “ before I was born

My ex wife was head nurse at the so called new facility in Donelson. Always complained about lack of funds. She left for other opportunitiy

Wow…just realized this site is about 9 miles from my home. If you search google maps/earth for the location, 2 Dell Pkwy, there’s an underpass that goes under the airport runway. All my life, anytime I’ve driven thru there, I honk my horn a bunch lol. Maybe I’ve been honking for all the dead souls from Central State. NEVER KNEW that was the site. Few years ago, I got pulled over there and pulled into Dell’s parking lot.

When I was an undergrad social work student at MTSU in the early 1990s, one of my associate professors was also a social worker a Central State. He would often talk about the history of the place but typically spoke of the horrible conditions there in the past tense and, on several occasions, spoke of putting together a visit and tour for his students to see Central State, but it never happened for whatever reason. Even around 1992, he was talking about how the facility would be closing in a few years and how a chapter of history would soon end.

They used to threaten us about sending us there when we acted up in grade school. Scared the sh!t out of us having driven past it regularly.

Great video

Great video 😊

I got two photos about two weeks ago

In 1995, the hospital moved to new facilities on Stewarts Ferry Pike. The original hospital buildings were demolished in 1999 to make way for Dell to build a large computer assembly plant.

You know what other New Orleans hotel skips from the 12th floor to the 14th floor? Holiday Inn Superdome.

My grandmother was a patient there in the 1970s & I hated that place. It smelled so bad & it was filthy. That one lady that said she worked there & it was lies...No you're the one lying. This place was horrible.

Stayed in 104 just under 204. No activity but such an awesome place to dine and stay. Highly recommend

The woman looks to have dark hair. I can even make out her curls. That picture is def a young woman. They say mirrors have attraction to ghosts. 👻

I remeber this book yes

Tony had 'Larceney' for the lord down to a sub par Elmer Gantry on a con mans budget for dummys.

Where is it

No one summons ghosts. They summon demons. Seances and ouija boards ALWAYS open the doors for demonic activity!

Finally a monster i can hunt

Great story! Thanks Allen!

Whoa

When I was a young man in the 90s. I found myself walking past the first building portrayed. creepy as hell.

I actually wished there. As did my mother and my grandmother. There's a couple things on here that are not true.

True story kinda

My mom and aunt went to the plantation for a report they were doing. The tour guide told them Aunt Pratt wanted her portrait to be hung where she can see the cemetery in the back. Also, if a baby is heard crying, Aunt Pratt’s peace is disturbed and strange things will start happening while guests are in the house. They asks that you keep your children calm before entering.

I was looking into going here because I’ve heard so many stories. I wish more known people would check this place out. It’s definitely got a creepy cool history!!!!!

Stayed in that room.

Staying in 711 tonight 👍

As a Northerner, I was intrigued by your name as being Southern-based stories.... but I guess the Triangle counts, as it's being in Southern Alaska ( OK, I know it's a growner, but I just couldn't help it 😄).

Awesome 🤗

Oh yankee jim is real? I thought he was just a ghost

Do you know where to go to investigate this more?

We were just down in Cleveland a couple of months ago. I filmed a quick video in the Fort Hill Cemetery that I'm about to put out. While researching more about the cemetery, I found the story of Tall Betsy. Super cool and creepy. I'll link back to your video in a comment when I post it so people can hear more. Awesome stuff! Subbed and following

As a Louisvillian I feel a bit bad not knowing this history. I’ve read tons about Scottish and English resurrectionists but never learned about a well known one from right here in my backyard almost. Definitely will be checking out your Louisville book.

I went to a church convention in Louisville, Kentucky in 2002. We stayed at the Galt House hotel, and there was definitely some unexplained activity going on there. The revolving doors to the entrance kept opening and closing repeatedly, although no one was walking through them. A group of friends and myself were standing near a small restaurant/bar that was inside the hotel. As we were standing there talking, I saw a black shadow standing behind the bar, which was closed at the time. It began to slowly move back and forth and I froze without saying a word. All of a sudden, my friend Jennifer looked towards the bar pointing and asked the group, “Do y’all see that?” Without a word, I took off running towards the elevator, and my friends followed. When we were on the elevator, Jennifer asked me why I ran. I told her I saw a black shadow standing behind the bar. Her eyes got really wide and big, and she said, “That’s what I saw!” In another incident the following day, the same group of friends and I took the elevator up to the top floor to explore a bit. At that time in 2002, the top floor was used for somewhat of a museum of some sorts, with items and pictures from previous years at the hotel. There were no rooms up there. A couple of us only stepped about halfway off the elevator while the rest stayed on with the doors opened. We began hearing strange noises like someone crying, but a deep moaning type of cry. It was distant at first, but started getting closer but we couldn’t see anyone. We ran back to the elevator, and went back to our rooms, and didn’t speak about anything that happened, until we left Kentucky! When I got home, I did a small bit of research and read that the Galt House hotel had been the scene of multiple murders, and multiple fires where people lost their lives. I apologize for the long comment, but I said all this to say, That place is definitely haunted!

Anthor fantastic story
