The abandoned Beach Army Hospital is associated with apparitions of former patients and medical personnel, a child spirit near the entrance, disembodied voices, breathing, groans, loud bangs and an oppressive presence in the basement.
Beach Army Hospital opened at Fort Wolters in 1957 as an Army medical facility specializing in aviation medicine and closed in 1973. The abandoned hospital has developed an extensive paranormal reputation. Reported apparitions include former patients, soldiers, nurses, doctors and a young boy seen near the main entrance. Witnesses also describe disembodied voices, breathing, groans, loud unexplained bangs and the sensation of unseen breath against the neck.
