Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Building One Anniversary Documentary Portsmouth, VA

[@shielasteel6760]

I was born on the 3rd floor in 76. My mom also worked there for many years at a medical transcriptionist. She told me all about the haunted history. I wish I could tour it and take photos.

[@boblarys6268]

Three tours there, including my last on active duty and a stint with civil service. (Oh yah, dated a nurse who worked there when I was a young aviator.) :)

My first position in a 30 year Civil Service career was in this building, as secretary to the military Nursing Supervisors. It was always my favorite building. I remember taking the tour led by Captain (retired) Conaway, who was then the Command Historian and who had been an O.R. tech there in the early years of his career.

Was born there, stationed there in the mid 80's. Was an MAA when stationed there, the top floor / OR area was creepy as heck. And the cemetary behind the barracks,

[@chanelqueen555]

Did u get certificate for being born there .Saying you are a honorary citizen of Virginia?

[@strealguy]

Was stationed there in the 1960’s and the 4th floor was the Orthopedic floor. Friends on mine worked on the 9th Floor. I understand it is no longer

My father was in the Air Force in 1958 when I was born there. My hospital birth certificate says "United States Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, New Hampshire." However, my Vital Records Birth Certificate says I was born in Kittery, Maine. This has been a pain in my butt my entire life when I have interactions with the Federal Government.

I’ve lived in that area for 6 years until 1982 when, I and my folks moved back to Texas and, I don’t recalled seeing that old building. Only at modern high rise building.

[@thomassimpson1724]

Was born there in 1952. What is interesting is that I was 1lb and 15oz and 26 1/2 weeks gestation. Stationed there as my first command after Hospital Corps School.

[@jayzeeshawn]

My first reenlistment was done on that quarterdeck.

[@spacememe1000]

I remember sitting on the or table as a joke when i was stationed there

[@johnkresky9172]

Stationed there from 63 to 65.

My son was born in that hospital. The storage area in the lower level, when I was there, had iron manacles in the walls for securing prisoners. The common consensus is that psychiatric patients were put in there before sedatives were invented. It was a dungeon. That is why they call it the dungeon. The top floor is supposed to be very haunted. They had to seal it off with iron gates so no one would go up there. I don't know what the official reasons were for the gates. The janitorial staff were able to get up there via elevator via a special key for the fifth floor.

Bear Hawk yeah I broke my nose once and my mom went in the elevator and it took her to a haunted floor were she saw ghosts

[@chanelqueen555]

I was born here .I recall finding papers when I was young .They said Im a honorary citizen of Virginia for being born here 🤔

[@clydenordan859]

Great video showcasing an important part of Portsmouth's and the Navy's history. My Dad retired from here after 37 years of civil service.

[@christinarenard-renardcurr5380]

I was stationed there and on the 3rd floor laid eyes on the man that would be my husband. We worked in the Psych wards and every night shift it was very very scary, i would not walk to the other areas because I was so afraid. Some personnel even told very believable stories of ghost there.

[@jayzeeshawn]

I think I know you. I saw a ghost on 3E one night, It turned out that what I saw had been seen for many years. Remember the ghosts that patients reported on 3G, that the doctors couldn't call hallucinations,, because of the long history of similar accounts by other patients?

[@Kitty1BBA]

They fixed my broken leg there in the 80's!

Allen Cutchin, does he have a son named Butch?
