THE STORY

Reported Haunting

The former Harrisburg State Hospital has long been associated with reports of shadow figures, voices, and other unexplained activity connected to its asylum history.

The Harrisburg State Hospital was known as Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital from 1851 to 1937. It’s rumored to be the site of some violent poltergeist activity. The hospital was closed in 2006 and the building currently is used for office space. The movie “Girl, Interrupted” starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie was filmed here.
