My Grandmother and Step Grandfather owned a house that was directly across from the main entrance back in the 60’s-late 70’s. It also had an upstairs apartment and a barber shop down stairs. My step Grandfather commited suicide in the barber shop chair one night.It was later turned into a kitchen. I never forgot that! My Mom had to help clean up after it sense my Grandma was so distraught. Mom always complained that when it rained you could smell that horrible smell still in those old tiles! In the late 70’s my Mother bought the home from Grandma and lived there.I stayed every summer with her until I got married. She and a lot of my family worked in the Hospital and an uncle Died there. I was searching for things in the LaPorte area just to go down memory lane and found this. I don’t know about the old Holy Family Hospital grounds being haunted but that house sure was! I wonder if it still stands? I cannot remember the address! Any one want to tell me how that neighborhood looks now? Anything where the old hospital stood? Or is it still standing? Would LOVE to see pictures! I am about 7 hours away now and miss it.

Hospital is gone. There are single story duplexes there now. Most other houses around it are still there. I was born there in 61. It was also called E street Hospital by some. I know there was a barber around the back on 2nd st. He’s still there. I am not sure the structure I remember being there existed during the civil war. There were civil war camps west of town. Don’t know if they were prisoner camps or not though.

I have never been there but would love to see this place. Maybe the reason some of you people can’t see the spirt world is due to the fact that your to closed minded and you think it is a big joke! Which for some of us that take this serious wish you would keep your “******” comments to yourself!! I am Wiccan ! I am not a black person but you should not use that word!!
Blessed Be to ALL

I live in this house. There has been things happen in the house on and off in the first year we moved in, but unexplainable events rarely happen now. Weird things started to happen when a wiji board was first used in this house by me and my friends. I ended up burning it because of the terrifying dreams I had. We have never seen soldiers outside, but one night a year ago my friend and I were watching tv in the living room late at night and we heard what seemed to be multiple shots fired at once and shells hitting the ground. That happened one more time after that and when we went outside the roads were empty and everyone was in their houses.

Holy Family Hospital is in no way connected with the building known as the “Civil War Hospital”. Holy Family was located in the 200 block of E Street. The “Civil War Hospital” is located near St.Joseph Church. It was originally a residence owned (but apparently not lived in) by Meinrad Rumely. St. Joseph Church was established in 1858, and shortly afterward, a school was established. Meinrad Rumely allowed the home to be used as a school until the first St. Joseph School was built in 1863. The home was later used as a convalescent home for returning Civil War soldiers. It is not haunted, and none of the (previous) residents have ever reported it to be so.

I honestly have been in that house plenty of times and nothing has happened. It’s a cute house with history. That doesn’t exactly mean it’s haunted

I’m also a LaPortean… never heard of this. I feel that this should be better researched, and taken off until if can be verified
