Where exactly is this old hospital, I would love to drive by and look at it. Also, I have heard that the old Prosperity School is haunted. Does anyone have any stories to share?? I think it would be so cool if TAPS could come back to this area and go through the old hospitals and ever Prosperity if it is haunted.

Oh My Gosh. I Live 3 Houses From This Hospital.
Oh Great . Im Scared Now!!

Hailey, Can you tell me where exactly in Webb City this old hospital is at, like street names and such? I tried to look for it the other night, but no luck.
I don’t live in the Webb City are, so don’t know my way around it very good. Thanks

Hey this place sounds very cool, I love TAPs on the SciFi channel and think that the way they go about an investigation is very good. I too would like to do some investigating in a few places mentioned but lack the gear. I think that the idea that there is an explaination for most activity that people see, photograph, and hear. If more of us could be rational enough to pursue the evidence then the real paranormal would be presented and more people could believe.

awsome im hot

my too sisters had lived in missouri and them and my cousin would dare each other to go up therr and go in and clamed they head a baby crying

This place is basically in my back yard. I went by there today and they already have elderly people living in there. I sat in the circle drive of Hatton Park across the street and studied the building. As I was watching, a side door in the back of the building in the alley flew open and remained opened for about 15 seconds, and then slowly shut again. There was no wind at the time, so I just have to wonder what it was. The door had a big door closure on it so it should have closed as soon as it opened, but it didnt.
I drove on around and looked at the building, crews are still there doing work on the place, but they do have residents living there as we speak.

I was born at Jane Chinn Hospital in 1955, as were three of my siblings, and had my tonsils out there with my sister in 1965. I used to spend a lot of time around there because a woman who was like a grandmother to me lived next to it, plus the town’s great osteopath, Dr. William Wells-Lee worked there. I have a love for the building as an historical site, but it also creeped me out and seemed to come from another era, which it did. There are horse and buggy pictures of Webb City with the exact same building in the background. I can’t believe it’s being remodeled and is still standing. My birth certificate has a picture of the hospital on it and you’d think I was born in 1920 from the way that picture looks! If that building has survived this long, that’s proof in itself it has its own powers. It was considered old when I had my tonsils out and we quit going there shortly thereafter. But, I must also say, the greatest nurse I’ve ever known, Saundra Garvey Smart, also worked there. So that’s two very good and kind people I know who worked there. The hospital is both great and weird, and certainly immortal!

Hey I worked in Jane Chinn Hospital for 4 years when it was a hunted house I lived right across the alley from it i use to go through and make sure no one was left in side and close doors to the rooms. and get to the end of the hallway and turn around and see all the doors i closed open again. also one night while a lady by the name of Jann Ladd set up a tape recorder at the nurses station on the second floor. and replayed it the next day and heard a nurse telling another nurse it was time for Mr. Smiths medicine. and then a cart being pushed away from the nurses station.

My uncle a couple of blocks away and every week hed phone and say he saw very odd things such as a baby doin surgery and a window smash looked nope then a message appeared sayin I SEE YOU DAVE this is creepier when he phoned me i heard like the ghost grones on Silent Hill 4 and he was like oh no oh no Brad i cant live here then bam i hear his screams ive never heard from him again

My aunts house is haunted and she has a dog. Everytime the ghost is near him he barks a lot. But now we have figured out why he barks a lot. Now we try not listen to hm. There has been stories about people seeing the ghost. I should know I’ve seen his back. But that is a different story.

Hey I am a nurse (LPN), I am an RN student, Im also a paranormal investigator so if anyone needs another team member let me know my email is rgroyer1985@yahoo.com, my grandma use to live in webb city, I live in Joplin. My grandmother use to be a nurse at
Jane chinn and at the old freeman, unfornately she isnt alive any more, but she use to tell stories of how there were 2 DO surgeons at Jane Chinn Dr.Slaughter and Dr.Butcher and they would compete on taking out appendix and gallbladders, which one of her good friends who was a nurse there also confirmed for me, she said they killed alot of people with there surgeries.

“plus the town’s great osteopath, Dr. William Wells-Lee worked there.”- Replying to this post. Dr. William Wells-Lee was my grandfather who started and practiced at Jane Chin. I never met him because he past away in the late 70’s. I grew up in Joplin and even went to the spookhouses at Jane Chin, there was something about being in the that hospital. I never experienced anything scary, but my friends who were with me never went back again. The stories are true and the hospital definately had unfinished business. My family even confirms that they have heard stories for decades that the hospital is haunted.

were the people scared or were they Scared? cause if it is get ghost hunters to go around and see. cause it dosent seem that haunted the bunny man bridge seemed more scary rabbits with heads off!!! peoples body’s molted on the bridge. on youtube it had over 10′000 views.

Opened in the early 1800s, the Northampton State Hospital lived nearly 200 years before it was shut down and abandoned in the late 1980s / early 90s. It is located in Northampton, Massachusetts, an urban city located in the western part of the state, about a two hour drive from Boston. It was what most families of mental patients seeked as a center of help, but for the patients themselves, it was nothing less than Hell.

Though police and staff keep a tight seal on what exactly did happen to patients at the hospital, many stories have surfaced, ones that tear at your nerves as soon as you set foot in the building.

A friend of mine crawled in through a window with a couple of her buddies. During their short 15 minute stay, she claims to have passed numerous doors with signs that read “Lobotomy” on them. She also mentioned that there were uncountable amounts of rusted surgical utensils scattered across the floors. On the second floor, there were patients’ rooms, as well as many rooms holding dirty, white padded walls, a chair in the corner, and a two-way mirror. Almost all of the patients’ rooms had no windows and were lit by cracks of sunlight peering through holes in the top of the rooms made by rocks being thrown. She recalls opening a random door only to a room of pitch black darkness. Curiously, she threw a rock into the darkness, only to never hear it land. She concludes her expiriences with, “It was just scary as Hell.”

Another story, told by her mother, says that patients were locked in the padded rooms and told to sit in the chair. There they sat for hours on end, while staff on the other side of the mirror watched and questioned them through an intercom. Once they thought they knew what was wrong with the patient, they would sometimes perform a lobotomy on them, or kill them.

A friend’s father, an ex-janitor at the hospital, gives us graphic detail on how he had to remove a patient who had hanged himself.

Whether these stories relate to any truth or not, police sure don’t want anyone to find out. Doors to the hospital are locked and binded shut. Windows are borded up but are usually torn down or broken with rocks, allowing curious visitors to enter illegally.

The Hospital was also featured on a segment of the show “Scariest Places On Earth”, where a frightened family went in the building with cameras, and found everything from a dog’s skeleton and blood samples, to hearing eerie footsteps and noises in other rooms, or sometimes even the room they were in. The show also mentioned how a “lunatic” patient escaped the hospital years ago and hasn’t been seen since.

I, personally, have not yet been able to enter the building, but I’m hoping that because it’s only a mere 10 minute drive away, I will one day be able to.

My friend Aryana used to live in a haunted house located on the outskirts of Mountain View, Missouri. The main spirit was Clinton Thompson, Aryana’s uncle who died in a car accident. Well Aryana’s 5 yr old brother Clinton Allen would claim a ghost was always wanting to play with him. One day Celena, the mother of Aryana & Clinton A was going through old pictures of Clinton T and little Clinton said that’s the man who always plays with me. So It was a family member ghost who wanted no harm, but to still be with his family.

There was also a DEMON in this house. In the upstairs in the old bathroom, there was a little door that led to the attic, well Clinton would cry hysterically if someone put him in that bathroom. He claimed there would be red eyes looking at him. He was so terrified he wouldn’t even look in the bathroom.

I was born in Jane Chinn Hospital in 1962. Delivered by the awesome Dr. Wells-Lee. I know this is a haunted building. I can’t help wondering why there haven’t been big TV investigations on this building. Would be interesting to say the least.

Why is it always the second flore?

ok listen!i drive by that place all the time.day or night theres something up with it,they are suppose to be renovating it.place is huge.

@ That Shae person- you’re a spaz, and she most probably is- it’s kind of stupid someone would lie about things like that.

I’ve never heard of this place, but it does sound like somewhere I would like to check out.
