I grew up near Webb City and still live near there. I have been in the house when it was used as a spook house on halloween and it was the scariest spook house I have yet to go in because the house itself felt so creepy. I didn’t notice anything too unusual because it was packed with people, but on the second floor the climate changed, it felt cold. I know quite a few people from Webb City that will tell you it is indeed haunted.

There are many haunted houses in the town of Carthage near Webb City and two that I know of in Joplin. I lived in a two story marble house on the corner of C street and Pearl for a while in college and my roommate and I both had an experience or two there. We lived on the 2nd floor and the house was a hospital in the civil war. Many times in the middle of the night my bedroom door would slam shut when it was winter and all the windows were closed. Lights would flicker, and when we would leave the house all lights were off and we would come back and the lights would be on. I once heard clanking and whistleing coming from the attic.
My husband lived a block from there at the time on
Byers and he too had experiences. lights flickering, radios coming on in the middle of the night or tv. He even thought he saw the silouette of a man in one room of the house on more than one occasion.

Hey i used to live about 4 blocks from the Hospital. We used to ride our bikes by there and see people walking around and hear noises. By the way it was closed down by then. I was raised in Webb City and lived there until i was 23 and i know it is haunted. I have heard they are trying to renovate it. I am in a paranormal group too and want to get our group permission to go in. If we do we will update everyone.

I live about 6 blocks away from the hospital in Webb City, and I am also a paranormal investigator. The hospital is truly haunted. Although many people would still like to see the inside that is no longer possible. For a while they had it boarded up because of the problems they had and people were getting hurt. Now they are remodeling the inside(not tearing it down). They plan to finish the hospital out with apartments for the elderly.
If it were up to me I would leave the hospital alone. All this is going to do is disturb the spirits inside and the elderly people are only going to have problems.

hey wasnt eminem born here

I also know this is true I have lived in Webb City most of my life and my grandmother lived by Hatton Park so we passed by that creepy hospital many times. As a matter of fact my brother had his tonsils out there probably in about 1976 or so. I agree it was one of the scariest haunted houses ever and if you wanted to go in you better be there early or plan on waiting forever.

Sadly, the hospital is now being remodled (poorly) and bring used as senor housing. It still looks rather spooky on the outside. You really can’t get close to it anymore it has cameras all around it.

wow. i belive it..=)

hey Rob will you email me i live in Pittsburg,i want to hear about the hospital. measom123@sbcglobal.net is my email adress.

I lived in joplin as a teenager, and we would go up near there and freak ourselves silly. There are a LOT of haunted places in and near webb city/joplin. In baxter springs,ks. there is another abandoned hospital, with gurneys ect still in it– now that place is spooky with a capital S.

I live close by in Pittsburg, KS and have heard stories about the old Jane Chin Hospital. I would have loved to have checked it out before the renovation. I have also heard stories about the old Freeman Hospital building in Joplin, MO. I have drove by it but never been in.

For what it is worth here is what I experienced back in the 80’s when I was young at the old Mt. Carmel Hospital in Pittsburg,KS

Unfortunately the remains old Mt. Carmel Hospital building on North Michigan have been torn down and there are new buildings on the site.

Back in 1985 part of the Old Mt.Carmel Hospital building, basement and some underground tunnels were still standing. It was a great place to scare a group of people. The old hospital closed around 1971 or 1972 and was left empty until was torn down in the late 1990’s.

In the basement there was an old Iron Lung, a lab with walk in cooler, boiler room, and kitchen. There were also some tunnels that led to the old nurses/Nuns housing and the building where they burned medical remains. The tunnels had huge rat and other critter tracks in the mud/dirt.

On the upper floors there were still a lot of old hospital beds, wheel chairs and other hospital items from the 1970’s and before. It was just like they just moved and left what they did not need behind.

In late August in the summer of 1985, I was there with a group of friends and we were going to scare some girls. I don’t believe in ghost but find the subject interesting. I know things happen that can’t be explained.

We were on the 2nd floor on the southeast section of the building and walked in to an old hospital room. The room suddenly became very cold. The outside temperature was around 85 and it was about 10:00pm. The room felt like walking in to a room that had the AC on. The outside windows were broken out and there were no drafts. We went to rooms on each side, the rooms directly above and below this room and they were not much cooler than the outside temperature. When we went back to the cold room it was still cold. You could stand in the hallway and reach your arm in the doorway and feel the temperature difference.

There were about 6 of us that witnessed this so I know it was not just me dreaming this up. We went back a few days later on a hot evening and the room was not cold at first but with in a few minutes the temperature began to go down. This time we took a thermometer and when went in the room it was in low 80’s an dropped to the low 60’s very quickly.

I don’t know how to explain this but it was strange. Too bad the old building is gone.

hay,i live across the street from a cenatary and some strange things going on can you e-maail me some tips on how to keep spirets away?

Does anyone know about the state hospitals in nevada mo if so contact me on my site http://www.ghosthunters8.com on the information page
thank you

Just an update on some of the old hospitals….I had my tonsils removed at Jane Chinn in 1973. I don’t remember anything odd, but was a child at the time. Jane Chinn is no longer abandoned, it has been renovated for housing.
The Baxter Springs hospital was torn down a few years ago. I was born there, and stopped by and got a few bricks during the demolition.
The old Freeman hospital still stands in Joplin, just off 20th street. It is in disrepair, and I’m surprised every day that is not torn down.
I am on this year’s comittee for the Carl Junction Project Graduation Spookhouse in Waco, Missouri. This is held in a very old farmhouse, 2 stories plus a basement. I have been told there are lots of stories about this house. Does anybody know anything about a house in Waco that is supposed to be haunted? Please let me know.

Wow, haha, I can’t help but laugh at the irony, there’s sounds of rolling gurneys and maoning and so on and so forth – they are choosing to put helpless senior citizens in this place? What a way to spend your last years, huh…Could they have not made it a gym?

i live there so tell me more about this is it true im doing a story about ghost can anybody help me

Yes, I do belive that the hospital is hounted for
the simple fact that my uncle was born there in 1968
and the family calls him the child from hell,and his mother says it was a stormy night.

i went to the haunted house with my friend. We’d heard about it because we live pretty close to kansas city and we were looking for a thrill. We got up to the 32nd floor and we hear a chain saw. We don’t run because we thought we were tough. The lights are flickering and everytime they went on a man got closer and closer. Next thing I know my friend is grabbed and she’s screaming and she’s dragged away. They found her about 3 hours later and she couldn’t form complete sentences. I visit her in rehab every other week. So think twice before you go.

My mother was a nurse at Jane Chin in the 80’s and the hospital only closed in 88 or 89. We used the hospital for a haunted house for our Band’s fund raiser. When we went into the hospital it was left like it would be ready to open the next day for patient’s.Old hospitals and new hospitals are the same. People die in hospitals them every day and rarely are they ever ready for death. All of the time I spent there there was never anything angry there.
