Sunday was fun. Got to spend the day with a dear family friend, talked a lot, remember why she has been a part of our family for over 30 years. :)
The hospital was kind of a bust tho. The man who meet up was nice, he kept telling us stories of the 'ghost' and unexplained noise the place had. That was fun, in a darken old hospital with rain and wind making the wood pieces covering the windows crack and moan. lol
What I didn't like was the ruined hospital. Now I know they had made it a haunted hospital so expected some but not that much. It was a tight maze of fake walls, the roof leaking and the heavy rain making the floor like ice. Ceiling tiles, trash, scrap wood, and just junk made me just shake my head on how they kept this place open to the public. As the owner is on the city board, it didn't take long to know how it was.
Just a mess. The OR Rooms had red paint *blood* splashed over the walls, leaving the white tile ruined. The building windows are busted, covered in wood at the part that is the Haunted House. Only a small section is not used for that, and those windows are busted out, left for rain and all kinds of animals to get in.
No equipment is left, only a few of the beds, a bath chair, and some metal cabinets are remaining of the original hospital. Most used in the haunted house part, painted red, ruined for any photos. And the one small older section they did not use for the haunted hospital was left to just ruin, no care taken to save it. My friend that went with me has worked in health care all her adult life and she noticed a call button, cord, laying in the trash. The man, who kept talking about how he is trying to 'save' the history, the building, just left it laying. No repect is given to the place at all.
He is using it to make money on the haunted house, no repairs being made. Unlike another old hospital call Weaverly Hills in our home state. That is one that is being repaired, money going back into to try and save it. I have no problems with that haunted house/ tours given when you can see that the folks care about it. Heck- a broom, trash pickup could of helped this place, some plastic on the busted window holes, a new roof- that is what is needed to save this place. I know- money. But there is no excuss for trash, broken ceiling tile laying on the floor, beer bottles, food bags from fast food places.
But it was still fun. Got away for a while, good company, good food at a local place in the town we went to. Might of gotten a few photos, will see when I get time. I did learn about some of the few medical things left in the building from my friend, she was able to answer questions he and I both had.
Sad when you remember he had been a EMT, worked out of the hospital for years. "I got a love for the place.." The trash, beer cans could say otherwise. A broom and some effort would of shown more love.
