Willard State Hospital Part 2: Once More Into the Breach

So, now it's time to get into some of the creepier Willard pics. We got to wander through the Grand View building, which was very cool. It was originally built as the 1st agricultural college in the state, but when the college moved to Cornell, the hospital came in. This building was where "women of a calmer nature" were housed. Mainly post-partum depression and such...

This building was also featured in an episode of Paranormal State. You can watch the episode online here if you are interested... http://www.scaryghostvideos.org/98.html
I'll warn you ahead of time, though that Paranormal State is a terrible, terrible show. I mean it's really cheesy and bad. There are a lot better ghost hunting shows out there. Unfortunately, this is the only one that's been to Willard...

Though I did enjoy their chalkboard they left behind...

And their whiteboard...

Most of the building was old, but pretty normal. Maybe slightly One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but nothing that bad.

Then we got into the basement and things began to change. This probably was nothing but an old storage area, but it makes you wonder...


I can't imagine walking around these tunnels at 2am.

I would love to know what this graffiti says...


This is what's left of the fireplace in the kitchen. Of the creepy basement of doom...

Jaime wouldn't get more than five feet away from me the entire time. Sadly, no ghost sightings, though. And I doubt the folks from Paranormal State did either...

Stay tuned for Part 3, where we visit... The Morgue...
