THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The former Rockhaven Sanitarium has been associated with reports of unexplained activity since its closure, including apparitions and mysterious sounds within its historic buildings. Unlike many institutions of its era, Rockhaven was known for providing a more humane environment for its female residents, and reported spirits are often described as peaceful rather than threatening.
Rockhaven Sanitarium is a refreshing take to the “haunted asylum” location. Unlike other plces where abuse and malpractice was common, Rockhaven was a calm location. The patients here were never viewed as being insane; they were all female, treated with respect, and allowed to recover at their own pace. Likewise, the ghosts here are not aggressive; the psychic energy is just as calm as it was when it was still in use and a bulk of the phantom is just objects appearing and disappearing.
