Jane Chin Hospital
During the Halloween season, haunted houses are held in this abandoned hospital. The hospital, however, appears to be truly haunted. It is said that strange noises may be heard coming from the second floor. One many reported having his dog with him. The dog got to the landing between the first and second floor and began whining and barking hysterically. Others have reported the sound of a rolling gurney on the second floor—the former surgery road.

This place sounds to amazing to be real…I do believe in ghosts, but I’m also not one to scare easy. If this place is really haunted i would like to go investigate it, and if anyone would like to show me around that would be swell! Also, I’m on a road trip from wisconsin to hit as many real haunted places within a week. If anyone has any other suggestions or doing the same thing u should email me at animeartist1@hotmail.com
Happy Hunting! ^___^

My grandmother (Roseland) was the cook there when I was a little girl. She would always take me into the kitchen with her. That was back in the late 70’s or early 80’s, the hospital was still running, but at that time there were very few patients.
I’ve always been open to spirits and ghosts, even back then, I considered them my friends. There seemed to be more spirits and ghosts in that hospital than patients, really…..
The odd thing to me now is knowing that I thought of them as friends, playing hide and seek and all that good stuff. I realize now years later, that the ghosts were probably hiding (or not showing themselves) because I actually scared them as much as they should have scared me.
I don’t think they should use the old hospital as a haunted house on Halloween, they should open it as a haunted bed and breakfast or something so it can be seen whenever wanted.
One memory I have that I understand more clearly now is when my Grandma walked back into the kitchen after going to the restroom. I was sitting on the table eating an ice cream bar that one of Grandma’s helpers gave to me while Grandma was gone. Grandma asked where I found the ice cream bar (because she looked for one for me not 30 minutes before that, the box was empty.) I told Grandma that her helper got it for me. That’s when my Grandma told me that she never had a helper in all the years she had worked there. I explained what the helper looked like, Grandma just giggled. I believe now that grandma knew as well as I did about the spirits and ghosts, and that she liked them as much as me. I think she giggled because the ghost fooled me. Obviously, there was a ghost that I didn’t know was a ghost…..

ive heard of the hospital…many times…we live in jane chins home. my poor children have kids at school coming up to them all the time asking if the house is truly haunted, of course they have to tell the kids its the hospital not the house. but the whole story is cool…her story is WAAAAAY better. but like i said, i live in her house, so i had to research everything about her, the house and how 2 of her 3 husbands died before her and left her ALL their money, the 3rd out lived her, but no one ever found her money…of course we are currently in the process of tearing the house apart board by board…not to mention the basement floors, but no luck yet. NOT A LIE!!!

I have lived in webb city most of my life. When my sister and I were little we would walk to Hatton Park. Before it became housing for the ederly I very much wanted to look inside. I had a feeling, even being very young, that there was something in there that wasn’t human. It looked very sad before they built it back up. But even though people live there now, it still gives me the creeps walking by. I wish though I would have been able to see in it before they built it up. But I am glad they did something with it instead of ripping it down.

Hi, everyone. Mom used to work at JC years ago and saw some “odd” things. I worked at Oak Hill Hospt before the merger. Lower floor, night shift, in what used to be the morgue. Never saw anything but heard alot, including the elevator going to and from the surgery ward on it’s own. When I had to get supplies from a room that hadn’t been used in years, got bad bad vibs. I have no doubt JC and OH are both haunted.

Jane Chin was a ancestor of mine and I have my family tree to prove it and the hospital was named after her because she donated alot of money to it. My brother was born there in 1976 I will get more info when my brother gets up so I can get the papres out of his room.

I remember my grandfather being carried by my dad to the car after he had surgery at Jane Chin. My mother sisn’t like the hospital so whenever she need to go to have us kids, she went to St. John’s in Joplin. Is Jane Chin haunted? Frankly, I don’t believe in ghost, but this place is spooky and makes a great haloween haunted house.
