THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Constructed during the Hoover Dam era, the former Boulder City Hospital has a long history of reported paranormal activity. Staff, visitors, and investigators have described apparitions, unexplained voices, and objects moving on their own.
Old Boulder City Hospital was constructed during the Great Depression for workers on the Hoover Dam. When it became a community center in 2012, folks soon realized they weren’t alone in the building. Moaning and other unexplained noises as well as footsteps and shadow figures have been reported. Apparitions have been seen here too. Reports say many of the old hospital’s deaths were covered up by listing the cause as pneumonia, when actually the patients died from carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of their work on the dam. The site has been featured on an episode of TV’s Ghost Hunters.
