THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Originally opened in 1892, Clifton Springs Sanitarium has developed a reputation for ghostly apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and mysterious voices. Former patients are said to remain within portions of the historic complex.
The 5-story Clifton Springs Sanitarium was built in 1892 to promote Dr. Henry Foster’s Clifton Springs Water Cure. It houses a chapel with a glass mosaic of “The Last Supper” designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The ghost of Dr. Foster has been seen sitting in the downstairs lobby of the Woodbury Building. Witnesses also have reported many other oddities, such as lights that work by themselves, unexplained noises, extreme cold spots and blasts, shadow figures, slamming doors, and blood spots that appear on walls.
