THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The abandoned Hudson River State Hospital is widely known for reports of shadow figures, voices, and unexplained activity associated with its psychiatric past.
Hudson River State Hospital was a psychiatric hospital complex from 1873 through the early 2000s. The historic High Victorian Gothic building was abandoned in 2003 and set afire by a lightning strike in 2007. It was purchased by a private owner in 2013. Rumor has it that former patients wander here at night, making noises and screaming. Orbs are said to materialize and chase trespassers.
