Dude…this place is seriously creepy. I haven’t experienced anything personally but I know many people that have. Email me if you want to get a group together and go investigate =]]

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.

IT IS NOT HAUNTED I LIVE IN IT

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.

I have lived in the Joplin area for most of my 33 years, and have heard since I was little that the Jane Chin Hospital is haunted. During the time they had done the haunted house there, there had been talk about things happening to the workers who had been setting it up, such as strange sounds and things being knocked around. I went 1 time when the haunted house opened, and I can honestly say something was not quite right about that place. You feel as if someone is watching you and following you. It is definately haunted. Maybe at some point they can get a paranormal group to investigate it and try to at least capture evidence of the haunting on tape or video.

If you guys are interested in ghost tours and live around st. charles There is a really good one led by a psychic and you get to use those little…evp? things. its the historic main street ghost tour :]] this is the place where lewis and clarkset sail guys :3

We used to hold haunted houses in this hospital, every senior class did for a while from Webb City High School. We were told to never, NEVER, go to the top floor. One of our (big) football players did. He saw something that spooked him so bad he peed his pants. Honest truth. There’s something in there.

Kayla the hospital you are talking about was the place that the book/movie the Exorcist was written about. The hospital at the time was involved with the Catholic Church which is very much able to do exorcisms. It was run by Franciscan Monks then and it is still an operating hospital but the wing where the actual exorcism took place is never used. This is a true story as I said. I know there are lots of stories in the St Louis area of paranormal activity. I visited the Lemp Mansion with not clue that it was haunted and I was visited in the Ladies Room by the ghost of William Lemp II this was at a wedding reception and I thought perhaps one of the guests had made a mistake and had gone into the wrong restroom but my friend had been waiting outside and had seen no one go in or out except me. Since he did not believe in supernatural things I said no more but I was very ready to leave the place after that.

To the person wanting to keep away spirits..there are a few ways, one is to hang cloves of garlic around your house especially in the direction that you think the spirits may be coming from. In the South you will see houses with their porches painted a certain color of blue this is not funny the color of blue is named Haint Blue and it has been used for centuries to ward off spirits. You can burn a bit of sage that is bound in a sort of cigar shape to ward off spirits too. The sage is a cleansing herb and it cleanses the areas where it is burned. When you burn the sage you can repeat some things like In the Name of The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and then ask that the house be protected from the spirits. Using a regular incense burner like the priests in some categories of Christianity use and burn certain types of incense can work as well.

we went inside today. we were looking around and heard noises and there is alot of hallways, like a maze. we looked around very much, yet we couln’t locate the lobby. we asked around and were told to leave by an old man. he saaid not to belive what we saw on the internet. that made us even moooorrrreeee suspicious. i hope we have anothher time we can go inside.

Hey everyone i enjoyed peoples experiences and thank u for sharing,I am very interested in the paranormal,I have always have believed and a couple years ago secured my belief for me my stepson had brought over this extremly older ouji board ,i didnt participate when this happened ,but they wanted to see if there was something in our old house that was a 120 years old before we tore it down ,well i guess there was some strange things that happened that spooked them so they came back over here and went upstairs and opened the door facing the house well with what happened scared them so bad that they ran down took the board and burned it in my grill.i think they invited a spirit in because after that in the new addition we began to hear strange noises so we ran tape and now i know there is something our there of the paranormal and we got it on tape and everyone was in the bottom house with me that area is very soundproof from the rest of the house also the night this happened my daughter that doesnt believe in aany of this until she had something happened that she would only share with me .nothing bad but for a non believer she was a little shocked and would not tell no one what happend and i was not allowed to tell the otheres either .but it seems over time that it has went somewhere else because no more noises have been heard.I do some investigations and one of my older daughters and son and a couple of there friends who enjoy investigating they are very respectful and do not like to take people that do not take this serious when we go.The only places we have got to go really here is cemetaries and i have been to the crescent hotel in ark and in charleston south carolina went on a tour and took my equipment which another tourist made the comment like that is over doing it and all we had was meter and camarea but thats ok i enjoy it very much it is a hobby and i forget my troubles when i go,I am just wondering if there is any investigation groups that might let me go on a couple with them or anothers out there that would like to go do some together ,i have my kids but they do have other lives to tend to and then i have no one to go with that enjoys this hobby i am 39 a mom of 3 and 2 step,and i am not some crazy person just a regular family person ,i would luv to be able to do a or house or some type place indoors to do something different,so anyone please let me know if ur interested in going sometime or let me go.or if there is anyone out there close to me that there house is haunted or can get me access to go somewhere diff i would be so greatful.thank u tam southeast kansas area and mo

I’ve lived in Webb city my whole life and have spent a lot of nights over there but nothing scary beyond just being there or anything paranormal has ever happened so I really don’t believe in this one. Plus that is a housing complex that my grandma live at recently and she never heard anyone report a problem about anything spooky. I like to believe in this kind of stuff but I just don’t think this one is real.
