I worked in the nursing home between 2000-2001, it was very creepy it certain areas. I never saw anything ghostly but often got shivers when walking in to certain bedrooms. The basement floor with the long corridor was where the laundry, kitchen and a staff room was but I think originally when it was the infirmary the mortuary was down there. Sad to see the building in such a bad state. Paisley has some amazing old buildings.
Lilly.Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences and give us a bit of anecdotal history.I love hearing but the working place was like.Just as spooky by the sounds of things.I wonder if any of your colleagues saw anything? And if so,what or who?
I remember I was working a shift in the Coats wing, which at the time was for residents under 60, and I was standing in the corridor with a colleague , we were looking in the direction of the kitchen, which was immediately to the right-hand side of the wing entrance, and she said she could see a pair of legs walk through the kitchen, so a partial apparition but they were a man’s legs. We laughed about it at the time. I only ever experienced cold sensations and feeling like someone was behind me or watching me. It was definitely creepy especially the night shift! 😂
Hi friend, my wife and I just filmed our spirit investigation there. What we got there was totally insane. I was a patient at the hospital back in the 1970s. I'm currently uploading the video as I write this comment. Happy hunting. I just subscribed. Paul.
Sad to see the building inside now just ruined by mindless vandals. I remember seeing the inside when it was a care home - I’m sure it was Four Seasons who ran it as a care home and shut it down early 2000s. My mum worked in it back then and still tells me about the spooky things that went on and what some of the residents told staff about ghostly visitors. The bottom corridor where the laundry and kitchens were on a long corridor (photos on google) was so scary such a horrible corridor that we generally didn’t like.
That's brilliant John. Thankyou so much for your feedback. Would love to hear more about the spooky goings on. Also great to hear from someone who actually saw the place when it was operational.It certainly is a splendid building and you're right about the vandals. Mindless is exactly what they are.If you want to share some of the spooky goings on, please feel free.
You are really brave to have gone in there alone not a cat in hells chance would I have done that and at 8.17 that is definitely the sound of a child laughing that is one incredibly spooky place the numerous footstep sounds are scary.
Hi Adam, yes I didn't hear much when I was there but when I looked back at the footage and saw the sound waves on the editing software it was pretty wild.
@adamdawson its just bricks and mortar, why do people say old places are haunted? Its noises coming from heavy buses, cars and hgv's on the busy roads all around it. More people die on roads but no one says that road or car is haunted. Its also the way old buildings were built but when times change 100 years later they just look a bit intimadating thats all, and mostly becouse most of its boarded up at the bottom. Homeless people used to stay in it at night and go to sleep and stay for months, they would just find a room and make up a bed and go to sleep, but during the winter they would make small fires in old paint cans or oil drums or they would die with the cold but then they fall asleep and the fire has gone wild and burnerd the floor and a few even burnerd about 20 foot of the roof. But they said they never felt safer. The only danger they had was other people coming in to steal from them but its too big to search and alot is dark and dangerous; if you go through a floor that has been burnerd years before but its to dark to see it except them that put the fire there then you would get badly hurted, so up to 8 or ten people could be staying in it and not even know it as 2 or 3 would go into small groups making it 2 or 3 groups. It wasnt that big but it was bigger than i thought it was. I was in it in 1981 but only really saw the front of it wich looked bigish for that time. As i had a broken arm, i remember walking past a few wards and they were big, bigger than wards you get today. They had about 10 to 12 beds in most big wards but a believe most of the big wards were knocked down years ago from the front of the rai. Now its 6 to a ward in the rah. a wonder if the old GRI has those big wards with it being huge and old. In those days so much of the hospital was split up into small bits as if it was like smaller wards or just where the staff worked. Wich seems strange, like 6 buildings 20 yards away from each other especialy at the far back end of the rai wich we saw there. And it costs more money. But it was a beautiful building theres no doubt in that. Builders had so much pride and skill in those days and those rounded roofs like an upside down cone and how steep they made those small roofs and all tiled takes skill and dedication, style meant alot back then it was so obviouse, and they put something on the pointed top and to finish it off in class. You wont get that now. Alot are to high up to see what it is, alot have like celtic crosses? A cross with a circle going round the middle of it.

My granny was a nurse in that hospital in the mid to late 60s and 70s and she said it was haunted when she worked there
Wow. Can you remember who she said haunted it Anne? I think there's definitely something strange about the place.
