  • A slideshow of photos from Broughton Hospital, telling about eerie places there, and some historic photos showing Broughton Hospital way back when. Today, it is still standing in all it's glory, but has changed some. The book, Haunted Broughton, Tales From The Graveyard Shift was written by an RN who worked there for 16 years and mostly on the graveyard shift. She tells true paranormal experience that happened to her, plus stories she garnered from other staff members who saw and heard things as well. The book is riveting, once you pick it up to read, you don't stop until you have reached the end!. Go to www.hauntedbroughton.com for more info on how to purchase your own copy.

    worked there back in the 90's. Went on the empty wards on my breaks. Never saw or experienced anything paranormal. Under ward 28, a biohazard room was found with a boat load of barrels stacked in it...anyone who worked 28 right or left stayed sick a lot. The fire place room was one of my favorite areas. Beautiful campus and a shame that demolition is happening.

    I still work there 40+ hours a week, just left there less than 3 hours ago in fact. Yea there are some really off things that happen. The tunnels aren't completely off limits to staff if you know the right people to ask. Screams? Yes from patients...but I haven't heard any screams from paranormal things. But the empty wards deemed haunted...I've had things happen. People I've seen and heard them call me. These things happen

    I was there three times. once on the kids unit and twice on the adult A division. it's haunted. no lie. I would try to sleep on ward 8 and got violently woken up by seizure like activity. I don't have a seizure disorder and all mri that were done there shows I'm OK. I could sleep as long as I was in a different room.

    I was a patient for ten days. It is haunted. I saw a man in a black trench coat and hat on the top floor of the main building. I asked the nurse about him. She just smiled and shook her head. The staff there are more tight lipped than any staff of any place I have ever been. Two weeks before I got there a patient was sat on and suffocated because he was still hungry after he ate his tray, he was trying to get food out of the trash can and they killed him for it by sitting on his chest to hold him down. They have a brute squad. If one of the staff press a panic button a group of about six big men come running to take care of any situation. There was blood on the floor every day from fights and abuse.

      The never talked about haunting truth of Broughton hospital was'
      certain staff members were physical abusing the patients' most worked 3'rd shift' women were being over medicated and sexually abused' patients were pitted against each other' the staff would make bets and the patients were manipulated into fighting. Patients were used for punching bags by several of the staff members. Other things happened there that was covered up and kept secret by a certain group of staff members.

    One time when I was at the Hospital, I was visiting my step-dad. When we were sitting in the cafeteria and this woman started screaming and punching herself. While she was doing it the tables and chairs started shaking. And on my way out there was a woman looking out her Window and putting her finger on her neck and sliding it back and forth and pointing it at me. Even tho it freaked me out I still wanna visit the tunnels and stay for a couple of hours at three a.m. and preach the holy word of Jesus.... Anyone down?

    Looking at this...the way 'nuts' were treated back 50-100 years ago (and today) and I just come apart! I had a friend going through stuff a few years ago If I'd had to spend a week with the old-timers there I would have been going over the edge. What my friend went through was typical divorce, business-failure...whatever that would make most of us go abnormal for a bit.
    I feel for the mental health workers dealing with the problem with non-existant budgets. Medicate them and turn them loose for the police and hospitals to deal with is like moving the homeless across the street--not a solution!

    Broughton is not creepy or scary
    It may be old but it’s pretty
    The tunnels were never meant for patients but rather as a way to hide things such at power lines
    Also
    Some of the buildings mentioned in this video are no longer standing
    And the picture or the “entertainment room” was actually a picture of the old chapel

    Okay, no offense, but this is kind of stupid. The reason why you can "still hear screams" is because it's still inhabited. The pictures of how it looked freaking decades ago are totally different than it is right now. This is really ignorant. The tunnels were used so that the patients in A division could walk from one building to another securely, in part due to the fact that the men and the women were kept away from eachother. Also, the adolescent division is completely private.
