In 1848 the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, later known as Indiana Central State Hospital, opened its doors on the west side of Indianapolis. The hospital treated patients who suffered from schizophrenia, dementia, depression, hysteria, alcoholism, and epilepsy. However, over the years, stories began circulating about patient abuse, and the hospital was closed in 1994 due to concerns about patient care. Since before the hospital's closing, stories about spirits, voices from beyond, and other paranormal occurrences were common on the grounds and in the old pathology building, which remains standing today.
